is this setup for my home router possible

[Tomoki]

hi guys my current setup is a single router which is not sufficient for my home.. as access point is not feeling a good idea at this point so will this setup work.. trying to draw a diagram below

current setup
internet cable ---> main router (tplink 300n)

the setup i am thinking
internet cable -----> 5port switch ----> multiple routers in different spot to eliminate deadspots.

i am thinking about this setup rather than a simple access point coz i want a multiple routers independent and direct connected to the internet via the switch and not via an master router to accesspoint dependancy.

so guys is this setup possible or too complicated to maintain stability coz only 1 router will be connecting to a pc and rest juz for wifi range... or should i ask my bro to buy a highspeed ac2600 router with good coverage..

For the "internet cable"
What does that connect to upstream? A modem?
Is so, this will not work.

The modem talks to one and only one device. Generally a router. The router then gives internal IP addresses to multiple devices.

I think you are starting off with

current setup
internet cable ---> Cable Modem ----> main router (tplink 300n)

We live and I have a home office in a 200 year old Dairy Barn.... it has a footprint of 36 x 52 and 5 separate floors. We have a single quality Netgear R6400) router on the 3rd level.

1. All stationary devices (workstsations, network printers, network plotters, microcell, etc) are hard wired, wireless gives up to much speed.
2. Laptops, iPads, phones and other portable devices are wireless
3. No one has connection issues and building construction is heavy post and beam with file backed insulation in the walls.

The first thing that comes to mind, with multiple routers is assignment of multiple routers is you'd have to create a separate subnet for each one otherwise you'd run the risk of different devices being assigned the same IP address. Point is moot though as your ISP will assign you only 1 main IP address

Well if I am correct those routers which are not connected to ISP provided line will just act as switch.

Internet cable is the physical wire.. I don't have a modem. Juz a wireless router... The ISP provides the wire (which we put in the wan port of router) which goes into the 5port switch n then the connection passes to the multiple routers via the switch using extra wires.

Their is a modem. You may not controll it, but there is one.
Your second wiring connection will not work.

From the 'internet cable' there needs to be a router. A switch will not work.
The router distributes internal IP addresses to devices and other routers.
