Higher end routers have a feature called VLANS (virtual LANs). A single router could have multiple LANs (192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, etc.). This is an advanced feature and would probably require a network specialist to set up but you could put the kids on one VLAN, the movie streamers on another, etc.
