You might also check out open mesh.org. They use a pi like hardware and build
small access points that can run in full mesh mode. I don’t know if it runs on
the pie with your own radios but they do sell small access points that are in
the same cases as the pi and the boards look similar. Mesh is where you want
to be with WiFi, not repeaters. Ideally you want a mesh system that uses the
different nodes and forms the most optimal paths based on the environment. At
this time I run a much higher end Eero mesh system but I have used these open
mesh modules to cover large areas for business applications so there should be
no problems with this lower cost, open source solution.
Good luck

Hello,
I'm thinking about picking up two additional pi's model 3b+ and
deploying them as wireless repeaters. Given the quad core and the 1GB
of ram I assume this is doable?
What kind of network card is native wirelessly in the pi? I can add
another one but i'd rather keep this as self-contained as possible. Is
it 10/100/1000?
If I do this will I have any performance hits?
Thanks.
Dave.
