Ok so I have an office in a warehouse and in that office there is no way to get internet there with out getting a mobile hot spot (which I'm hesitant to do because the signal is not great in the building) or connecting to a public wifi which is not in range. Nearby but not close enough to pick up there is a few xfinity wifi signals which I can use because I am a comcast customer. Is there a way to use a router in my office to grab that signal and strengthen to my office? I know I could possibly just get a range booster for my laptop but that doesn't help my business partners. I'm open to suggestions and or direct me to an old post on the matter. Thank You

Depending on your arrangement with the warehouse owner you may be able to have an bridge(some routers have this as an option to take WiFI and turn it to normal Ethernet. it work like an access point in reverse.) installed closer to the signal and run it back over Ethernet(at that point a normal router would create a private network for your devices.) or wifi(repeater).

You would also want to contact Comcast to ensure non of this will cause any problems for them. You do not want to get cut off because they have rules against signal duplication or anything.
