    Neither, run a cable or use homeplugs and add an access point on another channel

    Repeaters do not work well because they use the same frequency to receive as they do to re-broadcast (you end up halving the speed). You are best to create a point to point link with 2 of these (you'll need line of sight between them) and add an access point in your own house giving you full coverage.

    Fair play - thanks for that!
