Wifi repeater despair

Hi
I am not exactly a switcher as have been using a MacBook Pro for over a year and use iPad regularly for work as well, but probably my question is quite basic anyway.
I have been having problems with weak wifi signal upstairs when streaming using my iPad and also the MacBook sometimes. I bought a wireless N wifi repeater to solve the problem but all the instructions for setting it up and configuring it are all aimed at windows machines.

Anyone able to offer advice?

What make and model is it?

Sorry I meant who makes the device, Netgear TP-Link, D-Link.....?

Does the device have a browser based control mechanism or is it a Windows application that needs to be installed to get going? Are there any specific Windows drivers in play here that are of concern? If this is a standalone device (which it should be), there should be no direct linkage to Windows that prevents you from repeating those steps on a Mac..
