Can the XR500 accept 2 Wan connections from different ISPs?

[AsNCo]

As I was discussing with someone about solving their Internet's downtime, I was thinking that it would be better for him to get 2 cheap internet plans from 2 separate ISPs as opposed to paying a slightly higher amount than the 2 cheap ISPs for 1 larger internet speed with only 1 ISP,
I just realized my Asus RT-AC68U a slightly old router by now is able to set up Dual Wan connections from 2 different networks.

But I am not so sure if the XR500 is able to do this. If it doesn't, would it be possible to implement it in the future?

No I don't believe that is possible at the moment. I'm sure it's something that could be added in future but would not be for a significant amount of time.

If that is something that you really need then you could go for the asus ac66u or 88u as they both have dual wan, 1 as fail over support. I know of no consumer router that will run 2 connections simultaniously. Draytek do several enterprise level routers also that do dual wan.

I wouldn't use Asus for dual wan, it's not very reliable.

I'd go with a synology rt2600 ac if you're after an all in one consumer friendly device that does dual wan well.
