Help Support Talk Electrician Forum:
You should be able to do this with a stand alone access point, configure it as a repeater.
Never done it myself, but have seen the configuration options in a few wireless AP's I have.
Not sure if it will be a switch though, probably a wireless hub more like, though depending on the hard & software it may be a switch.
Sorry can't be of more help.

To answer the switch part
A switch will manage IP traffic to improve performance, based on pre-loaded load balancing algorithms, for example if ports 2 and 5 are being heavily utilised the switch may prioritise IP traffic at the expense of the other ports on the switch (ok it's a bit more complicated than that but you get the idea)
A managed switch does the same, however via a web browser (or utility) you can manage the traffic prioritisation yourself if so desired, and many other features, but you would rarely use these in a domestic setup
