Two ethernet feeds from the Hub 4 into a Mikrotek 4011 router. Lan aggregation enabled to bond eth1 and eth6 on hub together using "balance-rr". Using 10GBe out to my PC. Works with hub in both modem mode and router mode. I have it in modem mode with the Mikrotek doing the DHCP and NAT.

Nice, didn't know modem mode would work like that. That's very promising!

895Mbps over first link and 316Mbps over second bonded together to 1212Mbps which is routed out over the SFP+ module to the host computer.

The whole point of modem mode is that the switch and routing functionality are disabled and only port one is up which means you are limited to 1gbit and can definitely not use two ports for link aggregation.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
Both ports remain active maybe as a consequence of the bonding using the same mac address for each part of the interface. That said after a period of time it tends to use one more than the other for downloads, uploads are split equally over both links.

There weren't any DOCSIS 3.1 Hubs with those available when the Hub 4 was designed.

My GT-AX11000 has port aggregation and a 2.5Gb port. Could this work for me?

Standard port aggregation (LACP) won't work as it requires support at both the modem end and the router end which the Hub 4.0 does not offer. Not sure what your kit supports but if it can be configured to balanced round-robin you might be lucky. Router OS and pfsense have options for this.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no facility for setting up balance-rr. Looks like I would need a smart switch that can, between modem and router.

Yeah the Hub 4.0 has to be the least "future proof" and hopefully shortest lived hub from virgin ever.
