Home network =/= apartment network

 

Several questions:

1. Are you a small ISP or just trying to re-sell/distribute a single internet connection?
2. Do you have permission from the ISP to do this? Some ISPs will not allow this on their home packages.
3. Are all of these apartment units on the same level?
4. Do you have the ability to run ethernet to all units?
5. At the end of the day, do you require bandwidth controll? 26 users accessing a 100Mbps connection at the same time (and you’re hoping that they don’t use more than 1 device per person) is just under 4Mbps per link... not very much. Imagine if only 5 of these people decide to access Netflix at the same time.
6. What is your budget? You’ll need a solid firewall device (look into pfSense), and the ability to place each apartment on it’s own VLAN (or create isolated networks) to ensure privacy, so a managed switch with enough ports will be necessary. You can then run gigabit ethernet from the switch to each apartment unit.

Seems like OP is the landlord or owner of this place and some ISPs provide a shared connection to apartments. We have these here in UK and they're not the best, a friend of mine lives in one apartment and they get roughly 10Mbps download.
