Compatible Wireless Repeater/extender

I have a wireless network running on a Linksys EA4500 N900 router. The bulk of my devices are installed in my basement using CAT5e to connect to the router, with the remainder of my laptops/phones/tablets running wireless throughout the house (2 storey). I am finding that on the top floor, and outside, I am getting weak (and sometimes none) signals. I have tuned it as best I can to reduce interference, but am still not getting the performance I would like range wise. So now, I'm thinking about using a wireless repeater/extender. I have never used one before, and I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice as to compatibility and quality. Any info offered is appreciated. Thanks.
