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

    Am I missing something here or can you just use any hotspot capable Smartphone for that?

        Get an old phone or a cheap one and let it sit in your flat all the time plugged into the wall. Some slightly oder phone with a worn out battery from ebay or something. You can even amplify the signal from that phone via repeater or something
