I see tons of videos dealing with WEP cracking, but actaully none of them teach about how Wifis work. They are just a bunch of commands thrown at the screen. Where can I learn about the inner mechanics of wifis? Can you recommend a website or a book?

You could, if you only want a decent wifi signal upstairs, run.
If you then want wifi upstairs you can add a seperate access point hanging off the switch.
Ports upstairs to do with as you wish.

Oh comcast and xfinity are the same company.

A firewall at the WiFi level..
However, most WiFi routers and access points are either firewalls or connected to a firewall.
Typically a WiFi host, or router, will actually assign each client an individual IP address.

I have a wifi antenna. There's a bunch of free wifi around but there is only one area of my house that can access it. Can I use the antenna and set up a router using the existing wifi. To "repeat" the signal?

Cable then together as above....
You'll need to make sure a dhcp client listening on the service provider wifi link on the first router, and a dhcp server on the other router.
Simple really - just cable two wifi routers together via ethernet.

If the wifi is password protected it is possible to hack in but not very legal. There are programs that exist for this task.
