Can you easily bond two 2.5GbE ports?

I just had fiber installed yesterday and got a 3Gbit plan.

The modem provided by the ISP has 1x 10GbE port and 4x gigabit ports.

I got a 10GbE NIC for my Synology NAS, which is installed right beside my modem.

However my PC is sitting at the opposite end of a 30m+ Cat5 run. The silver lining is there’s a pair of them.

Can I bond them somehow to make them a single 5GbE port?I haven’t bought a switch or router yet.

Considering the Mikrotik crs317-1g-16s+: https://www.ispsupplies.ca/MikroTik-RouterBOARD-CRS317-1G-16SRM

Link Aggregation only helps if you are 1) looking for redundancy 2) are transfer multiple individual streams of data. Packets of data aren’t split, instead they are sent to one port or the other based on algorithm.
