Internet for 4-unit building
Hey STR Investor Friends,
I'm about to close on a quad and I'm thinking of turning them into short- to mid-term rentals. I've noticed that internet hiccups (like unplugged or broken modems and service issues) are pretty common headaches. So, I'm considering just having one modem, router, and signal booster for all the units. I'm not really into the whole DIY thing, so I'm looking at some easy IT solutions. Has anyone tried this before? How much did it cost you? And how does it stack up against having 4 separate internet connections with Comcast?
Thanks a bunch for any advice!
Lee

Hey @Leon Lee, setting this up will take some work. You could simply add a mesh system like @Andrew Steffens said, but everyone would see everything on the network without taking property precautions and setup.

It covers a lot about setting up an apartment network.
