Will they give an outsider permission to come fix their stuff? Or are 
you trying to do this all covert-style?
For this kind of setup I would suggest
1. Boot from Ubuntu Live CDs - less worry about maintenance, viruses, 
may work without building owner's approval.
2. Run traffic shaping on the router to make sure everybody gets a 
slice. An open source firmware like openwrt or ddwrt can do that.
