What WiFi relay system can I host at home?

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

Pro-tip: Self-hosting Lemmy? You can use object storage to back pict-rs (image hosting) to save a lot of money
  • I tried this with a brand new lemmy ansible setup using Vultr object storage, and my media upload requests respond with a timeout

    Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): error trying to connect: dns error: failed to lookup address information: Try again

  • What are your Lemmy/Fediverse tips and tricks for those who are just joining or thinking of joining?
  • I’m also running my own instance (via DigitalOcean). Looks like it’ll cost me something like $5 per month. More than happy to be paying a nominal fee like that for having no admins control my experience

    FYI to anyone finding this, the Ansible deployment was genuinely very simple to get running. I spent a day frustrated with Docker and then tried Ansible and it did everything seamlessly: installed lemmy, postgresql, and let’s encrypt
