What WiFi relay system can I host at home?
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

You need a wifi router. Connect the wan to your network. One mac, wan doesn't know about your devices.
And the WiFi router has to not be configured as a bridge device. It has to be it's own DHCP provider.
Well, it has to be doing routing, at least. DHCP is a separate issue. OP could configure everything with static IP addresses, after all (although I don't know why he would).
This ^. That way you have complete control over SSID, connected devices, passwords etc, and you apartment block only sees a single MAC address (WAN).
Connect using 2.4GHz, create own network with the 5GHz antenna?
Are there any routers that support this feature natively?
You could install Fresh Tomato firmware on any supported router and do this using wireless client mode: https://wiki.freshtomato.org/doku.php/advanced_scenarios
