I have a Linksys WRE54G repeater handy and I'm going to play with that; at a glance, it seems similar to the models you've mentioned.
The snag is that I really need a device which is also a DHCP/NAT server: most repeaters simply listen on one wifi channel and blindly repeat onto another wifi channel. That's sufficient to extend the range of an existing network but since my source ISP isn't going to feed additional IP addresses, I'll have to spoof that at my end.
