"Ethernet WAN" is a contradiction in terms, but I understand what you mean. We use dual-Ethernet routers all the time on our wireless service - one interface connects to the radio ethernet bridges, the other to the customer's LAN. I believe cable modem boxes also have ethernet interfaces but I can't verify that until service gets down my road in June... :-(

The only criteria for your application is that the router supports all of the usual routing protocols on the ethernet interface. I'm not aware of any that don't. 

Regards,
David
