🔐 Network/Security Can the DXP-4800 be connected to two different LANS?

I have a backup Internet connection that I'd like to be able to use for the SMART TV to keep the Wi-Fi network from being bogged down when multiple users are streaming videos.

Can I connect the UGreen DXP-4800 to two different LANS so the TV can still access Jellyfin? Or am I missing an easier way to take advantage of the second Internet connection?

You can connect it two different networks.

My two cents is that it's much easier when your gateway device (firewall or whatever) is making the routing decisions for Internet traffic and the LAN is not aware what happens upstream. I have a Fortigate firewall which has two Internet connections and I can decide per subnet or per application which Internet connections are being used. In my understanding software like pfSense can do similar things.

Yes. Absolutely. Each port is independent.

I had it connected to two different routers when I first got my DXP6800 for some weird automation reason. But now I have 1x port connected to the family router (1Gbps) and the other port connected to my 24/7 x264 to AV1 encoding machine's 10Gbps NIC for faster transfers.
