I put the search string "Dual LAN router" into a search
engine.

This gave a mixture of results, either 'dual WAN', or 'dual
band'.

Dual WAN I now understand as having two separate providers
inputting to the router (useful if you need protection
against your one provider being down).

Dual band seems to refer to different radio frequencies
serving the same LAN with different characteristics.

I am sure that I remember reading somewhere about routers
that allowed two completely independent LANs (wired and/or
Wireless) to run off it, with no opportunity for one network
to read/write data on the other. I am not just thinking
about a standard WiFi and a Guest WiFi on the one router.
Ideally there would be guest network facility as well as the
2 normal LANs.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I think what you need is a router that can support VLANs. Easiest thing
is to Google for VLAN routers, e.g.:

Thank you.

That does look to be the answer!

We use a 'Managed' switch to do this, I got my son to set it up as he works
with big company networks!
