Routing and binding different WAN connections to machines on same LAN

Hello I need to route different wan connections and bind them to specific machines which are on the same LAN, all machines need to be able to access the same LAN and devices on it like NAS and media server but they also need to connect to internet via different wan modems.
Here's the map


WAN0.............MACHINE0 (internet via WAN0)
.........\.........../................................................
--------ROUTER -OTHER MACHINES ON THE LAN
........./............\.................................................
WAN1..............MACHINE1 (internet via WAN1)




If anyone has advice on how I can do this, or point me to somewhere I can learn about it I would appreciate it, google isn't of much help.

As far as I know, and to be fair I haven't done much networking in quite some time, in order to get more than 1 WAN IP address, you need to have your ISP issue two WAN addresses.


If there's software out there than can mimick this I am not sure where to point to except it's probably some Linux offshoot such as pfsense.
 
If I thinking correctly you are going to need to get a "Enterprise Router" because they will allow multiple WAN Connections, which can be seperated as you want.

I don't know of a "Normal Home" router which can do that.

Other options would be I think:

1: PFsense/Opnsense

2: Modems connected to each pc, with an additional Network card in each machine connected to switch/router which does not get internet through it, I know it can be done but I just don't know how to be honest.

I know about PFsense/Opnsense but I don't know how to configure them to make it work, and connecting two different cables is out of the question because the machines are in different rooms with cables already routed thru the house.
 
What router are you using? Why the need to route each machine out of a different connection, what are you trying to accomplish with this?

Sorry for not replying sooner I was very sick. I'm trying to load balance different dsl lines without screwing up online gaming and other services that require you to have the same ip until the session ends, so each wan needs to be bound to it's machine, but both machines need to share lan to access nas and media server.
