Hey guys

Thank you for having me on your forum, sorry my introduction post is an 'ask'

I have a rented apartment with one wifi router shared between the several tenants, it's a nasty device provided by the internet company and just isn't doing the job I require it for / doesn't leave me feeling secure having an open network with everyone else I live with.

I have bitten the bullet and purchased the TP-Link Archer C9 Wireless Router, it looks amazing! Obviously I purchased this out of my own pocket and don't really want to share this device with the other housemates as the main aim was to give myself some added security. I have had the landlord's permission to setup the network however I like as long as I don't permanently disrupt the other housemates wireless network on the current router.

Our current setup is MODEM > TALKTALK ROUTER >>> several users

Ideally i'd like to setup MODEM > ARCHER C9 > ethernet cable link > TALKTALK ROUTER or

MODEM > SWITCH > [ ARCHER C9 / TALKTALK ROUTER (2 channels, 1 & 2 with Cat6 runs to each)

End result being, leaving a router for my use, with my own secure login and the current (separate) router for the rest of the housemates, still with their usual login. The other housemates purely use the network for internet only, playstations etc where as I need my network for a more work based purposes.

is this achievable? Can I do it by simply plugging in, almost as an electrical circuit?

Any help / advice is greatly appreciated

John
