Turning a Linksys E3200 into a wireless repeater?

I was wondering if anyone here knows if it is possible to turn a Linksys E3200 Router into a wireless repeater. Basically I have a WiFi signal already available in my house but the router is in the basement. I have a computer on the main floor of my house that I want to provide internet access to and I don't want to have to spend out cash for a wireless card.

Is this possible or will I have to end up running wires? I have a HUGE bundle of Cat6 cable and plenty of connectors, I just want to see if this is possible first.

And yes, I have searched Google and while I am waiting on replies to this post, I am going to continue my search on Google.

EDIT: So far I haven't really found anything so I am going to try flashing the firmware with DD-WRT and see what that opens up. I will update this post once I get done with trying this out.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
It seems that the router is compatible with DD-WRT. Once you install DD-WRT, you can configure it as a repeater.

Your router is also supported by the Tomato Firmware.
