I think that the key thing here might be in interpretation of the language.
"We have another business in the building" could mean that they own two companies and those two "companies" are sharing a connection. We might use that terminology for two divisions that do different things but legally can share a connection no problem.
Or it might be some random business that just happens to be in the same building that is trying to not pay for their own Internet, in which case this is a big problem.
Everyone is assuming the second, but I had read it assuming it was the first. But both are just assumptions, to know what the best options are and what is an option really requires understanding that.
Wow, I am terrible at following up with posts in a timely manner....
Yes, it is the first. So you assumed correctly. So I think we are all set with just breaking out the connection via a switch after the modem.
Thanks!
If it was me and it was two companies that I controlled, I'd use an EdgeRouter Lite, it has one WAN in and two LAN out. That way I'd have central control. Make that control owned by the "parent" organization. Then have each place have their own switches after that point. But only one router.
This is also how I would do it. There would only be one company in control of the one router.
