Hi everyone, I’m hoping for some advice on how to improve the Wi-Fi in our business. I’m not a techie so this is a bit above my head. Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Area: 9,500 sq ft 1-storey building with lots of walls and rooms
Speed: 10 Mbps (our country has poor internet speeds)
Set-up: Four 300 Mbps N routers wall-mounted and connected through ethernet cables to modem/router provided by ISP. They are on 24/7
Problems encountered:

Problems encountered:
- Difficulty in connecting to the network; usually solved by turning on/off the modem/router every couple of hours or so
- Modem/router only allows 30 simultaneous users
- Poor signal inside the rooms
- What devices do we need to allow up to 100 simultaneous users? These must be on 24/7. Preferably an affordable solution (many routers mentioned on this site are not available in our country)
- How do we improve the signal inside the rooms?
- How do we limit speed per user? Most just check email and Facebook
- Someone suggested upgrading the cables to Cat 6. Is this necessary, considering the maximum speed provided by the ISP is only 10 Mbps?
