2 Internet - 1 Router

[Shinigami15]

Hi,

I would like to know how to make 2 Internet Connections with only 1 Router.
My Router has a Dual Band function. I want 1 to work for myself for private use and gaming(5Ghz). And 1 for the rest of my family(2.4 Ghz).

So for Short:
1. How to make 2 Internet Connections using 1 Router?
2. What is Dual Band?( sorry i am dumb)

My router is the TP-Link Archer C7 1750.

Thanks in advance

You already have two, and it switches depending on what is best. If you're close it will be 5, if you get far away 2.4 is better.

To what end do you want to have seperate networks? It isn't going to improve performance in any capacity.

Hard wire your PC and call it a day.

I mean like 2 Different Internet connections with different names and passwords.
I want to have my own network(5Ghx) privately so my family wont use it. And provide them with a 2.4 Ghz internet connection if possible.
Prefer a Private one that only I can access

Log into your router and you should be able to give them different SSIDs and Passwords.

Keep in mind, the use of a different access point doesn't mean it is a different network, just a different door to the same room.

So I won't be able to setup 2 different internet connections?
Only 2 Access points (Login/Pw) that connects to the same internet connection?

Still have another router here with me, will that give me a second internet connecting how I mean it?

That is exactly right.

A second router isn't going to do anything but cause problems.

What is your end game here? Why do you want a separate network? You could make a subnet, but without knowning why you want it, it could be quite pointless.

So that None of my family can access my Internet Connection.
I really want a fast connection for watching multiple live-streams and play games online.
But I can put another router on and let them use that router's internet connection?
And let me myself take the Archer C7's internet connection?

If you're not paying for a second line then you can't get a second line.

Anything you add after the modem isn't going to help anything.

Adding separate subnets is only going to put additional load on your router.

So I only can get a second i ternet connection if I buy another Internet Provider....

I now have 2 internet connections. 1 from the Modem>Router and 1 from Router>Some Internet Plug through Electricity. That is extended in my room

Correct.

You have one internet connection: the modem.

The router simply routes multiple devices through the single connection. Wireless, power line adapters, Ethernet cables, all that stuff, are just access points to the same internet connection.

Alright. I understand. Thanks you for your information that you have given me.
