How you can distinguish between five computers at one home and five computers at different homes sharing the same connection with nat?

You need to set ttl to 1 on the interface facing the clients.

Assuming the clients are connecting to wlan1 on your router.
/ip firewall mangle
add action=change-ttl chain=postrouting comment="change ttl to1" new-ttl=set:1 out-interface=wlan1
This will stop non technically savvy clients from using a router and NAT to share your service. Clients must connect their computers/handheld device directly to your router.

Note: This technique can be easily defeated by a client with the right knowledge and a capable router.

Setting TTL looks elegant. And of course client can set his own TTL also...
