I ended up just getting a router with good performance and distance. I haven't tried any of them in the last couple of years or so. They may now offer better reliability and speed over longer distances than the ones I tried.

I was browsing around at Microcenter yesterday and I was looking at some of those repeaters among other things like routers, access points, etc. I wound up buying an ASUS Wireless N router / access point / extender. I'm running it as an access point since I have a Linux box down the line that already functions as a router (among other services). I still have my old Linksys Wireless G access point attached to the same subnet so now there are two wireless points feeding the same network.
