Default 2 internets

i have 2 internet lines... when i want to switch between ISP A and ISP B i have to disconnect my router from 1 modem and plug it into the other.

are there any routers and that can 2 lines connected to them. that way i dont need to 'switch' them by unplugging them.

Default Re: 2 internets

look for "multi homed router" but unless you manually set routes it gets hella complicated to decide what goes where on outgoing traffic (unless you step up to high dollar commercial-type routers and even then they're usually designed to balance inbound loads, not outbound)

If you have specific purposes for each, you could set static routes so that all FT traffic went out router A, all Stars traffic out router B, etc. Only one of the two can be a generic catch-all/default route.
