That result is over wifi.
I already bought an Airport express yesterday thinking it would do the trick.
That's better.
You should be able to extend with the Express but I don't know the Express as I've only used the TC and Extreme which are basically the same unit with dual bandwidth.
I had to find the sweet point at my friends so she could get the best results but I was impressed how easy it all worked and the end result achieved.
The 5Ghz is handy but has a shorter distance than the 2.4Ghz.
I placed her Extreme close enough to her TC so that the signal strength was good but I also had to insure that where she uses her MBP was good too so I tried it in several places till I found the best place for it.
It made a huge difference as she was only getting about 12 DL with a very patchy connection in her room, so much so FaceTime was impossible.
