I thought you said reinforced concrete.  It is used in any load bearing 
walls.  You can hear the difference between reinforced concrete and 
drywall, when you knock on the wall.

Cables tend to be very lossy at those frequencies.  You want to keep the 
cable as short as possible.  That is why I suggested moving the router.


There are repeaters available, though I've never seen one in a store. 
You have to place it where it has a connection with both locations.
