I have subscribed to Internet service recently and using TP link router with G model. Now my neighbors want to share in my Internet so I am planning to increase bandwidth (currently 2 Mbps to in future 4 Mbps). The total area should be served will be around 10000 m2 and the number of users will be around 8 to 10. Please help me to choose the right router which can serve this purpose. Thanks in advance.

He can always claim that they're sponging off of him without his knowledge - but it's still a lie - and he's still guilty of assisting in the theft of services.

You should also check your Terms of Service. In many instances, sharing your network connection with your neighbors is a violation of those terms and can lead to immediate termination of your service.

The number of users is not an issue, any ordinary router should cope with it (although sharing 4mbps between 10 users will not be fun!). As for the WiFi range, that's too big for a single router. You should set up a number of wireless access points, ideally connected over ethernet (or PowerLine) to the router.

If you are going to do the heatmapping, I would recommend
Ekahau Heatmapper
for the task. It is free and is much more accurate than attempting to use the driver's little "bars" as an indicator of signal strength. It can also let you know if there are other channel conflicts in the area from someone else's wifi network. In many cases, weak areas can be eliminated with a simple channel change on the network so you are not suffering the effects of frequency overlap between adjacent networks.
