Thanks for your reply. If I understand it right, I can go for a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X, connect both the Fritzbox cable modem and Pepwave modem to it and run the third RJ45 cable to the WAN port on the Orbi SXR80, right? That would be an awesome and pretty simple solution.
Rumor is Netgear will enter the market with a multi-port, partially Multi-Gig equipped, dual WAN-router. However, the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X is hard to beat (in price-performance) wit it's < 50 USD price tag.
