Connecting two LTE WAN connections to AC3200 Load Balancing to Google WiFi

Title says it all. I have highly unreliable Xplornet rural internet (LTE 25Mb/s), which I am hoping to supplement with Bell rural internet (LTE 25Mb/s). I am currently using Google WIFi with a router and three WiFi points. Hoping to use my ASUS AC3200 without WiFi to connect both WAN connections and then onto Google WiFi.

 

Is it feasible? If so, what is the proper configuration for the AC3200 and Google WiFi?

What are you trying to achieve exactly with 2 connections?

Continuity of reliable service at a usable bandwidth. I currently loose connection 20-60 times in a 24 hr period and bandwidth drops drastically for upload and download in high traffic times of day.

Turn to page 72 of your Asus AC3200 manual for failover or load-balancing setup.

 

As for using Google WiFi to be your AP, that can be done by converting the base station unit to bridge mode, but at the expense of losing mesh function.
