Ill try to explain this as best as possible. Help would be appreciated.

I recently got a 1GB download/upload business internet with 5 static IP addresses, from my knowledge the only way to isolate the static ip address is to buy a switcher(dont know which kind managed/unmanaged) and from there i need 5 routers to connect to the switcher so each router gives off a different IP through the configuration. Unless theres a Modem that can create 5 wifi networks, but in the end I dont know if the modem can handle the load. I will be connecting over 100 to 200 devices it will have to be all wireless.

For example, I have 5 laptops I want each laptop to have its own separate ip address to connect to the internet I do not need file sharing or anything like that, and it has to be wireless.

Is there another way to approach this with the least amount of effort and devices and wiring and such?

I did speak to the technical support guys but I dont know if hes right or wrong, he told me to buy a sonicwall router(1000 dollar range) which has multiple mac address chips in them.

My ISP said the IP addresses are attained online through their software by assigning mac addresses. My isp modem is Actiontec T3200M Bonded VDSL2 Modem and 802.11ac Wireless Router

And as always thanks for all the help.

Your first problem is finding out how the ISP give you the 5 public ip addresses. That is actually a strange number based on how subnets work.

The more common method is to route you a small subnet like a /30 or /29. The problem is a /30 has only 4 addresses and a /29 has 8 addresses. How many you can use depends how you configure things but "5" is not a number you normally see.

I have seen ATT do this "5" ip stuff with their routers. It is a very strange implementation and you can not really assign those ip to end devices. They in all cases must be natted to end devices. It is not a very standard way to do this.

So your first challenge is to figure out how your ISP is actually giving you the 5 public ip addresses...

This is when you transform your role into that of "Project Manager", and hire a local network guy, that actually knows what he is doing.

This is for a business? What are the ramifications when you get it wrong, and 75 people are offline for 3 days? How much does that cost the business in lost productivity?

Hey there are no ramifications or consequences or anything like that and it is not really for a business, I need some help finding a working solution on this with the least amount of money hopefully.

" not really for a business"
"over 100 to 200 devices it will have to be all wireless"

OK then...please describe what the use case is.

"200 devices" indicates a lot of humans, which indicates a lot of space. You'll likely need multiple WiFi devices/access points.
