Just a couple of questions/comments:

1) if you grant me access to your wireless network, why do you want forbid me 
to use such "access" as I would like? (Example: by connecting whatever I want, 
and not strictly my notebook or smartphone)?

2) detecting a "strictly defined" wireless extender is not an easy task. I also 
think that it would be REALLY hard, to detect me in "sharing" your WiFi 
connection through a secondary ESSID/BSSID and, at the same time, preventing me 
in doing this (with my Linux notebook). Maybe from a "legal" point of view, you 
can "enforce" some rules... but from a technical point of view, I think it's 
hard to "enforce";

3) to me, your problem looks very similar to a full-802.1x wired network where 
a single client with a dual NIC "share" the 802.1x network with a  second, 
private, network hosted on the second NIC and by applying some NAT service: 
easy to achieve and difficult to fight;

4) in the "wired" context (but also in some wireless use cases) probably the 
concept to investigate is "NAT detection"

HTH

P.S.: I'm mobile, so please forgive typos ;-)
