Wireless Range Extender/Repeater/Whatever

Portable would be nice but not a necessity. Need to improve coverage on the ground floor.

Is your router on top floor ?
if yes, but an Additional Antenna or if your existing one is Detachable, Mount it outside the window/roof
if above fails, then
Flash a custom Firmware like DD-WRT and set to full throttle,
you would get better signals than bridging 2 routers.
As its Single Building I don't think anyone should use any other option.

An indoor router should not be kept on rooftop or anywhere near the window unless you have customised a water & dust protection kit....why not use a pure outdoor AP for the heck of it...

I am currently using a Netis WF2409. Best router I have ever used. Covers a 3 story 2000sft house in almost all areas ( weak, but usable signal across floors ). It has tooooooo many options compared to the older Netgear I had.
Give it a try

How much did you buy this Netis router for?

Posting this from extended network. Working fine.

What did you get finally?

The Netgear model with two antennas mentioned above.
