can i use this without unfolding the "wings"?

I'm sure you can just as I am sure that it won't work as well and you'll just be wasting your money. Use it as directed or buy a kia.

Anyone else's rax120 just drop speed to like 1mbps every so often (multiple devices)? (i'm on a gigabit internet with xfinity)

maybe you were connected on a wifi DFS channel. those DFS channels can automatically switch, even disable, when radar is detected. unfortunately, the 4800 Mbps and 2400 Mbps speed modes are tied to DFS channels. on a similar NightHawk model I have, (RAX70) you can sort of check your channels and bandwidth. it's viewable NOT in the wifi setup page where you'd expect it, but INSTEAD on the "Advanced Home" page when you scroll down. right now mine shows for example: Channel 116(P)+120+124+128 Mode Up to 4803 Mbps (160MHz) and frustratingly, Windows shows the actual Link Speed is only 1200/1200 Mbps despite the NightHawk claiming it's presently operating "up to 4803 Mbps" -------------------------- if Netgear would simply document these limitations truthfully they probably wouldn't get so many RMAs

How do you set this up for wan aggregation with cm1200 for multi-gig internet?

Ethernet port aggregation between two devices allows your devices to treat multiple Ethernet links as if they were a single link. Combining two network connections for WAN (Internet) Ethernet port aggregation allows you to increase network bandwidth and provide network redundancy between your cable modem and your router if one link fails. If you have an Internet connection with speeds over 1 Gbps, but your cable modem or router does not have a Multi-Gig or 2.5G Multi-Gig port, you might need to use Internet Ethernet port aggregation to access the maximum possible speeds provided by your Internet connection. For more information, see What is multi-gig Internet? The cable modem that you connect your NETGEAR Nighthawk router to must support Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to use WAN aggregation. To set up WAN (Internet) Ethernet port aggregation on your NETGEAR Nighthawk router: Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to your router's network. Enter www.routerlogin.net. A login window displays. Enter your username and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The username and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. Select Internet. The Internet Setup page displays. In the WAN Preference section, select WAN aggregation (1 Gbps + 1 Gbps). Your router communicates with your cable modem's two LAN ports by connecting the Internet port and Internet aggregation-enabled Ethernet port on the router. Click Apply. Set up Ethernet port aggregation on your cable modem. Important: Do not connect the devices to each other using more than one Ethernet cable until after you set up aggregation on each device. If you form multiple connections between the two devices and neither device has loop prevention, you create a network loop. Network loops can slow or stop normal traffic on your network. For more information, see What is a network loop? Using two Ethernet cables, connect the Internet port and Internet aggregation-enabled LAN ports on your router to the aggregated ports on your cable modem. Note: Depending on which router model you have, the aggregation-enabled LAN port differs. For most routers, LAN 1 or LAN 4 is the aggregation-enabled port. On the Internet Setup page, the WAN Aggregation Status displays Active. Ethernet port WAN aggregation is set up.
