Sure! You're looking to extend your high-speed connection using your existing gigabit Ethernet to your room and then leverage a Raspberry Pi 3B+ as a WiFi access point. It would be ideal to mirror the settings from your Xfinity modem/router so everything works smoothly in your space. If that's not feasible, you can still set up the Pi to act as a secondary WiFi source.
