What WiFi relay system can I host at home? - eviltoast

I live in an apartment that provides WiFi that has MAC address whitelisting with a cost per MAC address slot.

What hardware/software can I use to connect to their network and rebroadcast in a new network so that all my devices can connect but the WiFi provider only sees one MAC address connecting?

I’ve tried a WiFi range extender but it appears to be forwarding the MAC address of the my devices

To be clear, the ISP broadcasts its own SSIDs throughout the apartment block and I don’t have access to any physical network sockets

    Aaah, I get where the misunderstanding is coming from. Smartphones can often relay Wifi as well. Mine (Xiaomi, had the same thing with Samsung and Huawei though) will stay connected to the wifi it’s on and open up a hotspot.
