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

May I ask is that a new way of leeching $ from people? Or is there a good reason to charge for each MAC?
Cheap, serviced housing is the residential situation I find myself in
