I haven't looked for a bit, especially at the variants, but AFAICR the 
"stock" OpenWRT doesn't support WDS repeating.

What you want is a plain bridging AP which does WDS repeating, ie. 99.9% 
of them now-a-days.

If you want a recommendation, then the Netgear wg602v2 - it will also 
bridge the Ethernet interface in WDS mode, which many earlier ones (eg. 
Netgear ME103) didn't.

You can't repeat WPA/802.1x, only plain/WEP.
