Linksys WRT1900AC with Wi-Fi repeater

Occasional Visitor
I want to use Linksys WRT1900AC as my main router. In another more distant place in my home, i have a weak Wi-Fi signal. I don't have an option to have an Ethernet cable there, so i want to use another device as Wi-Fi repeater. That Wi-Fi repeater will use it's local Ethernet ports for a single device in that location (IP security Camera).

All the repeaters that i found, are expensive:
Linksys WUMC710
Linksys RE2000
Linksys WAP300N

Any recommendation for a router from different brand or any other device from Linksys that could do the job?
I rather stay with Linksys brand in order to achieve (hopefully) better stability.
 
I have a TP-Link TL-WA830RE that works great as a repeater and it is under $35.00. Also I would suggest using power line and you can add a switch or another router in that room. If it's a bedroom you may have to check your circuit breakers as some restrict network traffic.

You're not technically looking for a repeater if you're looking to bridge a wired connection over wireless. That's a client bridge.

If all you need is one wired ethernet connection, I'm using a refurbished Netgear WNCE2001 with my WRT1900AC and I think I paid like $19 for it.
