AX4200 or AX6000 - dual wan capable?

[Cheeser64]

Do either of these new devices support dual wan connections?  I have Comcast as the primary, with centurylink as my current backup.

I looked at the specs and user manuals, but didn't see this.

Appears the Asus ZenWiFi AX is dual wan capable.

I'm not sure about the 7 series however the 8 series support LAG on the WAN side. SO you can have two ports connected to a modem that also supports LAG, like NGs CM1100 and 1200 modems or other mfrs modems that have this feature. Having separate dedicated WAN ports on Orbi, then no.

If so, that's a shame...especially for the price.  I have a Netgear cable modem, but a different DSL modem (Zyxel).  I only had one provider in the past to our home, but with more work done from home, need the redundancy.

i could probably still consider these, but then could only use as access points.

Well these are home class products, thus meant really for home users with just 1 ISP service and modem/ONT. 

Most dual WAN users are in the business realm and may see more use in those envronments. Something you might check and see with the Orbi Pro version doesn't this. IT was announced they were doing a Orbi AX pro version.

Understood, will check the pro version.

More consumer products seem to be including dual wans, thus I thought I would check.
