I use tp-Link router which I share with several other house
holds, how can we increase the signal as it drops out with one
person and is the same as network?

The simplest way to get a router giving better range is to move
it around. It's surprising what a shift in position can do.
Otherwise this link is has a good selection of tips on various
things to try. High gain antennas are easy to obtain.

I don't understand what you mean by "it drops out with one
person and is the same as network?" - can you clarify that
please.

Well sort of yes and sort of no. You are in effect setting up a
home network, and this does enable sharing with others. HOWEVER,
you only share what you want to share (and I presume none of you
want to share your files or printers or the like - just the
internet connection.)
How you allow or disallow sharing depends on which Windows
version you are using (that's all of you on the network.)
