Extending indoor coverage from outdoor WiFi Hotspot

Has anyone tried to extending the indoor coverage from a outdoor Optimum WiFi Hotspot? I tried doing this following several ways but have never been able to get the Optimum WiFi DHCP server to respond.
One simple wired example is I tried a WiFi-to-100BaseT adapter, using an Ethernet cable to extend the Optimum network a bit farther into the building. I placed the WiFi on an exterior wall that has a reasonable strong Optimum WiFi signal (e.g., a laptop at this exterior location has no problem connecting and operating with a good data throughput) and then ran a Cat 5 cable from the router to a computer. The wireless setup seemed to work fine, but the wired computer connected to the adapter never receive a DHCP response.
Thank you for your help
