Coffee shops and other local retail places might use a single router depending on the size of the store, as they might assume less than 250 devices connecting at the same time, but they would more then likely have better routers than your standard run of the mill Residential models.

I'm not really a network specialist, i was in the army as technician spécialised for télécom and now i try to help the school where my daughter work as teacher.
