   He's likely to need dd-wrt but it can be installed on most recent routers.   
      
   As for the bridge versus the repeater this tries to explain dd-wrt's   
   terminology but I find them both to be almost the same in practice.

   How Does the DD-WRT Client Wireless Bridge Differ from Repeater Mode?   
   "A Client Bridge links computers while a Wireless Repeater connects   
   routers. If you are looking to extend wireless access to more remote parts   
   of a home or office then use a Repeater. However, if you are looking to   
   create a more seamless integrated network of computers without concern for   
   extended wireless signal, then use a Client Bridge."
