You should try out single AP with a good high-gain antenna first and see how you do. 90 feet should not be too much of a problem. Try the HawkingTech 15 dBi corner antenna on the AP, you'd be surprised how far it can hear a client laptop.
Might I also suggest next time instead of posting yet another thread with a common question, you check our FAQ? Here's the relevant section directly:

In worst case, to repeat you would need something like the WRT54GS units with sveasoft or openwrt firmware and WDS mode enabled. Your old 11S4 would not be repeatable, all AP's must support WDS so you'd have to discard it. WDS is Wireless Distribution System, but if you feel overwhelmed already this may be a bit complicated for you to setup. |
