Hey. I have a network from Xfinity and the modem is in the main part of the house and speeds are great over there. Where my room is though, the WiFi sucks ass. I have gigabit Ethernet to my room - is there anyway to take advantage of that and use a raspberry pi 3b+ as a WiFi access point for my part of the house? Preferably in a way that duplicates settings from my Xfinity modem/router combo onto the pi for seamless connections, but if not possible that's fine.
