[Mesh] Recommended APs that can do wireless repeating?

[J.C.]

I'd second that, if you're planning on being there for any length of time
it's worth running a hardline. You can run 200-300 feet of cat5 cable from
the router to your room, you can either hook the other end directly to your
computer or an ap in your room.

Also lately, comcast in particular has been making AP's with incredibly
weak antennas, that sometime barely function standing right next to them so
you may also resolve the problem by replacing the modem, or by turning off
the wifi and attaching a decent wifi ap (WRT54G/Buffallo/abgn/etc)
