Broadcast/access two modems over their own dedicated AP

Would it be possible to:

1. Have both modems - modem1, modem2 be on simultaneously?
2. Broadcast/access both modems - modem1, modem2 - over their own dedicated AP - APModem1, APModem2?

To be clear, I am not asking for failover, load balancing or bonding. All I'm trying to do is - instead of running two GOrb routers with their own modem - is it possible to run ONE GOrb router such that it broadcasts each modem over its own AP?

The heaviest use of bandwidth are a few zoom meetings lasting around 30 - 40 minutes a day but not at the same time so this router won't be heavily loaded.

If it helps, I have a huge pile of Archer C7s and that's what I use.

You would setup two LANs with unique subnets. Bridge each LAN to it's own wireless interface. You'd have two masquerade rules in your nat table for ipv4 and rules in the filter table to allow bidirectional traffic for both LAN<->WAN pairs. Then add routes for both LANs pointing to the appropriate gateways(IPv4/IPv6).

I think you can do most of what you need through the GUI, but it will probably be a rough ride getting it working.

Might also take a look at VLAN configurations.
