How can I make a Fortigate 80C connect at gibabit speed with an Arris TG2482A?

Hi mikecv,

The specs of the cable modem says the interface supports gig download speed, but the modem does not supports it. The modem has a 24X8 channel bonding, but in order to have a gig download you need the 32X8 channel bonding. I ahd the same issue when I ditched my TV and phone from my internet package and updated my internet connection to a gig. My modem was an SVG2482AC when I had TV and phone, but after the line upgrade I needed to upgrade my modem to an SB8200 to get full support for a gig connection to the internet. I hope this answers to your question.

I forgot to mention that the modem has to be a DOCSIS 3.1 certified to be able to handle the 32X8 channel bonding.
