2 ISP provided IP Addresses

I'm am considering a purchase of a pro gaming router.  I'm looking for some assistance with which one to get.  Currently my ISP provides me with 2 static IP addresses.  One for my gaming and 1 for my non-gaming in home network.  

 

Do any of the nighthawk routers accomondate this type of setup?

 

Thanks

    Hi Woodshop, so to clarify you want a router that can handle two separate WAN connections instead of using two separate routers - 1 for each connection?

      Yes, one router, that is because the ISP is not providing 2 cables to the wan, just 2 static IP addresses on the one WAN cable.

        I don't believe that is possible, it's quite a rare use case (even more rare for just one WAN cable as far as I'm aware). I can double check but it's unlikely.
