I live in a student house with 7 others. Our house is supplied by our ISP (KPN) with an Experia Box v10 which can output a maximum of 300 mbps on 2.4 GHz wifi and 1300 mbps on 5 GHz wifi, as well as 1 Gigabit over LAN (However I am not sure what plan our house is serviced with so we may be supplied with less). We have this modem installed in our entrance and from there an ethernet cable is connected single TP Link TL-SF1008D (not sure the version) which is a 8-port 10/100 Mbps desktop switch. Our modem feeds this switch which sends a different ethernet connection to each of our rooms. From there we have 3 different routers with each having its own wifi network respectively. I am looking to best optimize this to maximize our speeds coming from our modem.
Solutions I am thinking:
-Get another Desktop switch/upgrade current switch to a TL-SG1008D a 8-port gigabit desktop switch to prevent congestion of a single modem->switch->rooms connection.
-Create a master router from the modem and then extend this router with access points around the house.
Which method would allow best for maximizing internet usage and still allowing us some degree of private internet usage?
Thank you in advance for the help
