Interesting link. One thing that jumps out at me is:
Repeater access points do not support wireless domain services (WDS). Do
not configure a repeater access point as a WDS candidate, and do not
configure a WDS access point to fall back to repeater mode in case of
Ethernet failure.
So it's just a layer2 bridge then?

Indeed. You might try with WDS as well to see if that works any better.
Or some sort of mesh system if the AP supports any. I would imagine that
would work the best.

Also what kind of walls. Internal? External? Multiple story house?
Orientation of the access point?

Right. Reading the original message it doesn't appear you ever define
what the type/model of the second AP is. From the link that Merv supplied:
Repeater access points running Cisco IOS software cannot associate to
parent access points that that do not run Cisco IOS software.

Excellent questions. Also what kind of antennas (if the 350 antennas can
be replaced with higher gain ones).
