PINE as Wireless Repeater/Access Point?

[tllim]

I'm trying to figure out if Pine can do what I am hoping it can, and if so, HOW

I have a large home with concrete and lath and plaster walls.  Pretty much the bane for wireless signals.  I've tried the Wireless Repeaters that connect via wifi, and then rebroadcast, but they are NOT GOOD for my application.  I am unclear on what the technical term is for it (Repeater, Extender, Access Point, etc) but what I need is something to connect via wired connection, and then broadcast a wireless signal (essentially a wireless router).  I have a good wireless router now, that reaches most of the house, but I need something for 3 smaller areas.  I was about to buy some cheap wireless routers and just set the SID and pw the same as my existing one.

It seems that even the cheaper board (with the Wifi) would be able to do this from a technical stand point, but I don't know what kind of software I'd need to accomplish.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You will need OpenWRT code and not yet available.
