after downloadmoreram.com was such a success, i guess something like wifi-hotspot as a service should exist somewhere too

hm, without adding "new" hardware you say?

add an old wifi stick
add an old raspberry pi 1
stick the stick into the berry
add hostapd package to berry
add old ethernet calble and connect berry with the switch in the picture
configure hostapd to mimic a wifi hotspot (thus its not "added", just mimic'ed)
configure routing, nat, dns and dhcp server (wlan side) on berry
configure dhcp client on berry for lan side
use an old cable tie to tie things together so it becomes "one piece"
connect the switch with another old ethernet cable to your neighbours internet router

tadaaa !!! turned into wifi hotspot without added hardware beeing "new"
