connecting 2 different wifi networks on different routers

Hi friends,

I have 4 floors and two wifi connections. Comway and anonet. Comway is setup on 3rd floor and through it, i have taken a cat 6 cable and joined a router on my 4th floor, then i used another cat6 cable which is going down to 2nd and 1st floors to connect 2 routers in a series. But as comway broadband was giving problems, i took another connection of anonet and got it installed on the 1st floor. Now I have two routers installed of two different companies on the 1st floor.

Now can i do a setup by connecting both of them together such that if one gets disconnected, i can use the other service provider on all the 4 floors ? I can connect them together using a CAT6 cable. Moreover, I have one jio router lying unused (if it can be used somewhere).

If yes, pls tell how to do it.

I doubt if you can connect two independent routers (that are connected to 2 different ISPs) like that. It may not serve any purpose. If I correctly understand, there are something called as Dual-WAN routers that allow you to use 2 ISP simultaneously with load balancing and all. But I have no much experience is setting them, so won't be of much help here.
Try to explore more in that direction as well.

Just for example here's one from TP Link - *www.tp-link.com/in/business-networking/soho-router/tl-r480t+/
I have not read the detailed specs, so can't be sure if this will work but this is just for example only.
Also you need to check what is the setup of your ISPs, if they are Ethernet based or Fiber etc.
