Multi-Wan Networking Question

I have a networking scenario I am not sure if is possible and was looking for advice. I have tried looking at different hardware on the market and am hitting a brick wall.

I work for a small company which has always used a multi-wan router in failover mode for redundancy. Now we have a new fiber connection which is obviously our more stable, but is only a 10/10 line, and our copper is 100/10.

The scenario I would like is for people in the building surfing to go out over copper as their primary, and fiber as the failover. But anyone outside connecting in I would want to use fiber as the primary and copper as the failover.

Obviously this is not possible with our outdated Netgear SRX5308, but is there any equipment out there which can achieve this? And if not hardware solution, is this something which can be achieved by other means? Thank you to anyone with suggestions!

**Edit - Both providers are delivering service through an RJ45 connector, so I do not need any speciality converters; just treating as WAN1 / WAN2
