Redundant internet connection possible?

I'm thinking of moving to an Orbi mesh system, but I was wondering if it is possible to configure a redundant internet connection, e.g. have cable modem as primary connection, but use cell or satellite if the primary goes down?  I didn't see anything in the manual, but might it be possible to kluge it with the aggregate connection?

Orbi AX doesn't support fail over. You can try with LAG enabled and see. I haven't tried this.

No, I wound up keeping my Asus router (which can do this) and just used the Orbi mesh in access point mode.  I was afraid to set it up that way because I thought the AP mode would allow guest wifi traffic in the LAN between the AP and router, but I found out the guest wifi prevents access to the LAN and routes traffic directly out the router which was an acceptable solution.
