Wifi Extenders and Captive Portal

Question

Can these Wifi Extenders&nbsp;receive, amplify and broadcast/transmit a signal from a public wifi network that is behind a Captive Portal with Web Authentication?&nbsp;1. NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX7000-100NAS​)&nbsp;&nbsp;2. NETGEAR AC1200 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX6200)&nbsp;&nbsp;I live in a Public Housing Project that uses XfinityWifi (Comcast) hotspot, which requires a Web Authentication log-in through the Captive Portal.&nbsp;I don't get very good signal in my apartment, but the signal is there, just weak.

You need something that supports wisp mode.&nbsp;
Check into gl.inet's line of travel routers. They have wisp mode.&nbsp;
