ISP is Time Warner Spectrum
Modem Manufacturer Model: Ubee DVW32C1
Existing Router: Archer C50
Proposed Second Router: TP-Link Archer C2300
Goal: Use current Modem to allow TWO distinct routers to broadcast TWO different networks.
Situation: At our residential address we have two separate families and now one needs to stop using their AT&T ISP and needs to use Spectrum. Spectrum told other residents they can come out to install a separate 'box'(I'm supposing they meant modem) for them to do this for an additional monthly fee. Instead of tacking on yet another monthly fee, would it be feasible for us to leave the existing setup as-is and just allow a new router to connect wirelessly to the existing Ubee modem and allow all of the other families' internet connections to run through it? I understand that having the routers set to broadcast at something like channel 2 & 8 or 6 & 11 etc can avoid potential disruptions caused by the other. My aim would be to allow each family their own secure network for their devices. I plan to upgrade the internet service to Spectrum's 400Mbps option(the only upgrade available) to handle the increased bandwidth.
I hope that is sufficient information to determine whether A. I should just let Spectrum install something separately for them at a monthly fee or B. I can set it up as described.
Thank you for your time and input!
