Almost any dual band device supporting DD-WRT can be setup using client bridge repeating. Client bridge repeating can use any host AP(not requiring WDS). However, the repeating of the radio uses half the bandwidth available to retransmit any wireless client data usage over the repeater(wired isn't subject to reduced bandwidth). You could use a cheap client bridge(DD-WRT) then plug in an cheap AP to it, thus not repeating the signal over one radio, and not sacrificing bandwidth. Are you looking for full duplex bridge repeater system so there is no bandwidth loss using separate radios, one for bridge and one for repeat in one device? Then look at options stevech presented.
