As John pointed out, repeating reduces your bandwidth. In fact, it cuts
your pipe in half.

If all you do is pass internet traffic, it probably won't be noticable --
but if you pass a lot of LAN traffic around, repeating is quite ugly.

The "best" choice is another, standalone, seperate, wireless access point --
running as a standalone, seperate, wireless access point.

If running CAT5 to where you want the additional WAP isn't practical, what
you could do (and I'm doing this), is get both a wireless-ethernet bridge
and a new WAP. The bridge, acting as a client, brings your pipe in from the
air and into the WAP over ethernet. Config the WAP with the same SSID as
the WAP that you want to "repeat", but use a different channel. You now
have a "repeater", but without cutting the pipe in half.
