DIRECT ANSWERS
Questions people ask in this situation
Can an ADU have its own internet account?
It may be possible when the provider recognizes the service location and the property supports installation. Confirm the exact unit or secondary address.
Is sharing the main house Wi-Fi enough for an ADU?
It can work in some properties, but distance, walls, privacy and performance may make a separate connection or wired network more appropriate.
