PPOE dual wan configuration - with same vlan tagging

I currently Have two century link wan connections. They use PPOE with vlan tagging 201.

I have one interface configured and working on Firewalla Gold using the PPOE credential and vlan tagging set to 201. Firewalla connects directly to the fiber modem.

When I try to configure the second WAN interface it won't allow me to set the vlan tagging to 201 because it says that is already used on the other interface.

 

Not sure how to get this to work. I want to setup load balancing over the 2 WAN connections. What are my options here? Do I need to use the provided router on one of the connections and put it in transparent bridge mode? Is there way to do this with the new LAG feature? Not sure if the tranparent bridge mode does the PPOE authentication then just moves the traffic to the FIrewalla gold?

  Are the two WAN interfaces going to two different ports on the FWG? And you want to configure each WAN VLAN tag 201?

  Looks like the test version will fix it. I can set both WANS to use vlan tagging 201 without receiving an error now. Just need to enter the PPOE credentials and test it out when I get home. Thanks!
