You are allowed. They would install a splitter, provide a second modem, and you would need to cover the cost of an additional connection.
Typically, it would be much more affordable to replace the current package (if feasible).
Varies by location. Usually you need to rent another modem and pay for an extra package with it. You might also face problems with traffic limits depending on other devices using the main connection in and out of your home. They could also add extra charges if they must lay a separate line into your house for another modem, assuming the bottleneck comes from their service. Consider updating your setup to reduce extra fees, or hire a technician for hardware installation—charges may apply otherwise.
Are you connected via phone or cable? If using a phone line, you might require an additional line. Consult your ISP about available packages.
It varies by internet service provider. Some allow it if you pay extra for a separate line, while others prohibit it, limiting one connection per address. Reach out to your ISP for details. The method also depends on your internet type—DSL likely won’t work, but cable usually does as long as signal quality is strong. Consider upgrading your package for better performance. Using bridge mode with a better router can improve QoS settings, and some routers like yours let you assign speeds to devices.
I'm focused on fiber, coaxial, and DSL connections. Checking my ISP's Fiber options shows up to four accounts from a single provider. Network bandwidth could be a concern with coax, though it's possible in theory. DSL is an alternative but would require a second line and modem. Soon the system will support pair bonding, letting you use just one modem. This update will also provide double capacity in one package.
