First of all, a repeater system is NOT the way to go. The bandwidth will get whittled down to nothing. And yes, that is the problem with wireless touch panel products - they will hop when the signal is low. What I would reccoemend is a booster to your wifi signal . You need to make it stronger.
Take a look at Luxel - they make some great wireless boosters that can make your signal strong enough to not require various access points. I took a training class with them today - a fantastic product for those who have larger homes. A simple access point with product can cover a 10,000 SF home.
