link aggregation with a dual port modem but only one 2.5 gig port on router?(ax6000)

Model: Archer AX6000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.4

I have Comcasts 1 gig plan.  They have recently upgraded us to a 1.2 gig plan.  My modem, a Arris SB8200,  supports up to 2 gb/s but uses two different ports with link aggregation.  I have enabled link aggregation on the modem.  The AX6000 has one 2.5 gig/port, but also states it supports link aggregation on ports 2 and 3.  How can I configure the AX6000 to use both of my ports on my modem to get past the 1 gig speed barrier?    Or am I going to need to find a modem that has one 2.5 gig port only?  Please advise..  I'm figuring we can use only use the 2.5 gig port on the router to connect to a modem?.

The Archer AX6000 does feature LAN link aggregation but not WAN.  This is because the WAN port is 2.5 Gbps.
