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

    I think openwrt can do that. You would just put one of the radios (2.4 or 5ghz) into WAN, and the other into LAN.

    Obviously that limits you to 2.4ghz speeds, if you want faster two routers back to back could maybe work.
