Whats your budget? Wifi extender can cost a bit more than routers.
I would suggest to run an Ethernet wire from your office to somewhere in upper floor and connect it to a normal wifi dual antenna router.

Absolutely yes... Mod it with DD-WRT and you are good to go. Here is a link which you can follow to set it as repeater.

keep in mind that above instructions are for V7/version 7 of WR841N model & flipkart is now selling V8 of this model which has no dd-wrt support yet.

Best option is to buy a cheap router ans use in repeater mode.

Get the TPLINK TL-WA701ND, it fits your need. also if the range is not enough get a TP-Link 8 dBi antenna to extend the range of the TP-Link WA701ND.
I had the Dlink 2750u, and I have to say its a pathetic router, always dropped the connection and needed a reboot every few days.

also watch this video it'll help you understand how to configure the WA701ND
