I have a cheap managed switch (https://www.amazon.com/XikeStor-Port-Ethernet-SFP-Wall-Mount/dp/B0CRZ87PYK) i got for 30$, I plugged in two separate network connections that got their ip from two different modems and turned in LACP mode on the switch, the switch is off now but I added both ports to the list and connected the OTHER ports, in&&in->p1 p2 out&&out->p3 p4, and enabled the aggregation feature in macOS, but I couldn’t get an IP

Does anyone have any decent instructions that they’ve personally done regarding network aggregation? Really want to get a 4GBPS network connections

Switches and LACP operate at L2 but your Internet connections will operate at L3. How would that work?
