have a look at the WLAN switch from Vivato, Inc. (http://www.vivato.net), it
might do what you are looking for, though I'm not sure it is cheap and you'd
probably have to look at modifying the antenna to cover a longer range.

Hello All,
 
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm rather new to the list, I 
recently signed up and have been following the list for a few 
weeks now. 
 
After reading some responses to the "Interlopers on the WLAN" 
discussion, I decided I should pose a question to the group 
of a somewhat related topic. Me a few associates of mine are 
contemplating starting a Wireless ISP & WLAN Co-Op in our 
local community. We've done a lot of research on 802.11 and 
how to implement it in a WMAN. We've got some problems 
though. We need to segment each user via MAC addresses. 
Naturally we thought of VLAN's however we could not come up 
with a cheap solution to implementing VLAN's at layer 2. So 
to my question, does anyone know of a cheap solution to 
VLAN's of an 802.11 network? 
 
Thanks for your time, and any input you may be able to provide.
 
Regards,
