Back to my Mac already does a great job of building a private IPV6 VLAN for each Apple ID tht connects all the logged in devices.

In terms of dedicated hardware, what you are describing sounds a lot like an airport express/extreme wifi base station.

Yeah, they can easily leverage any other device already in the house: I would think the Airport or Apple TV would be the logical choice though. People get more creeped out thinking that their laptop might be exposed.
