Hi @mwchief ,
As woozle said, Archer BE800 doesn't support dual WAN. If you need a router with this feature, you can consider our business products:https://www.omadanetworks.com/en/business-networking/omada/router/
Except for the DSL series, other products in this link basically support multi-WAN

Hi @mwchief,
The Archer BE800 has• 1× 10 Gbps WAN/LAN+• 1× 10 Gbps SFP+/RJ45 Combo WAN/LAN, the two 10 Gbps ports cannot be concurrently configured as WAN ports.
However, they can be switched between WAN port and LAN port. When you set one of them as WAN port, the WAN connection of the other WAN/LAN port will be invalid. Different WAN port settings are designed to meet different connection methods.
