Dual Wan on the AX8 or AX12
ok heres my problem, i have 2 ISPs at home each with 1gb connections, i want to dual wan them. these new AX routers have one multi gig port, great. however, can the multigig port can only be used as ...
the Multi-Gig port is only available as a LAN port for the moment.
The option of using this Multi-Gig port as a WAN port may be implemented in the future

ok perfect thats what i want, multigig LAN. is this for both models? so can i change one of the regular gigabit LAN ports into WAN? that way i can have dual gigabit WAN + multigig LAN
4 Ethernet ports: LAN (2 of them can be aggregate)
1 Ethernet port: WAN
1 Multi-Gig port: LAN
that is what is available on both units
One thing to keep in mind though is having the option to create a LAG from a RAX80/RAX120 to a modem does not mean that you can receive 2 different internet connections to the RAX80/RAX120.
It means that you can bond 2 Ethernet cables together between the ISP modem and the router in case you receive more than 1Gb on your internet connection and do not want to waste any bandwidth.
