Find the optimal path for a strong internet setup for around ten users across various areas, using just one coax link. Explore options to split the connection into separate broadband services for each person.

You charge your internet service provider for increased data capacity and configure quality of service settings on the router. No.

ISP should supply the router with a SIM card, though this could cause signal interference. Using a second router in repeater mode works, but a range extender would be preferable. The cheapest option is to avoid buying several broadband plans and instead share the internet among ten users.

The connection isn't suitable because of the weak internet speed. We can only achieve around 15-30Mbps, and many users will have several links open while gaming or streaming.

Request the ISP to assign individual lines for each group. Each will receive their own bill by month’s end, ensuring dedicated WAN access. If budget concerns arise, inquire whether they provide discounts for multiple connections within the same building or offer a higher-tier plan with speeds below the combined cost of two separate packages.

Usually every service has to be connected directly to the ISP network. This would require cables in each room. Everyone would have to pay for their service through the ISP. You can't get faster speeds with coaxial cable? My connection is 200 Mbps, but my provider offers up to 1 Gbps.

You're asking about connecting everyone in a building with a reliable wireless connection without needing multiple routers or broadband services. You want a solution where devices automatically connect to the strongest signal and move seamlessly throughout the space. The suggested approach uses wireless access points, which can be set up with consistent SSIDs and security settings. These APs connect via Ethernet to a central switch or router, allowing clients to choose the best connection as they move. The example link provided is a solid starting point. For more advanced setups, professional installations might use high-end APs costing several hundred or thousands of dollars, but this isn't required for your needs. If running Ethernet everywhere isn't feasible, mesh systems can serve as an alternative—they act like APs but use separate radio frequencies to reduce interference. Powerline adapters offer another option; they connect to electrical outlets and provide Ethernet ports, letting the wireless AP communicate through those wires instead of Ethernet cables. Ideally, running Ethernet directly to each room from a single switch that connects to the router would give the best performance.

Unfortunately, the maximum speed we can achieve is 15-30Mbps.

We require a stable connection in every room for smooth streaming and gaming. With many users connecting several devices, could this slow down the internet and increase latency?

When your WAN uplink reaches up to 30 Mb/s, you're likely to hit it with simultaneous streaming by 10 users. For everyday browsing this isn't usually an issue. I recommend prioritizing a solid connection in each part of the building first, then address the WAN side later.
