How to extend a public wifi?

So I moved in a new building which provides internet like hotels. It's a public network without password you connect to then it forwards you to a page you need to provide your username and password.

What I need is to extend this network so I can use the same account that I logged into on different devices and to use it on LAN so I can connect my NAS and whatever.

using normal repeater won't work cuz it doesn't deal with Enterprise authentication.

Is there any idea that I can do? Is there a repeater with a browser where u can do the authentication?

On your laptop or PC, try changing your wireless MAC address to one that starts with one of these, and see if you still need to use the authentication page:

X-Box One 50:1A:C5, 28:18:78, 60:45:BD
PlayStation 4 B0:05:94, 70:9E:29
Wii U 34:AF:2C

If that works, you can then get a wireless router compatible with DD-WRT, change its wireless MAC to something similar, then put it in wireless bridge mode. This will share the wireless connection among the devices Ethernet ports.
