Hi plemans, and thanks for the response. I'll recheck the manual.
Unfortunately, in our location we have cellular service that is iffy, and expect the same with Starlink as there will be obstructions. There is no wired service.
I'm not really looking for failover service, as I suspect it would degrade the network even further if it takes more than a couple milliseconds to switch networks. It would be switching all the time.
What I wish for is a router where both network providers could be active at the same time, with QoS logic in the router to pick the network that is more responsive and serving more data.

Your not looking for failover, you're looking for load balancing. Not an option on these devices.
You'd need to look at business grade products for that. (google dual wan load balancing router)
Do you already have the lbr20?
If so, you might try it with failover and see how it works before investing in a more expensive router
