The ActionTec GT704WGB and the GT704WG don't support WDS or Client Bridge mode via Wireless, so they will not act as a repeater. They can act as access points if you run an Ethernet cable to them however. They just need to be set up to operate as such.
So for this issue, unless relocating the router or antennas improves signal quality you are most likely looking at running CAT5/CAT6 cabling, using MoCa or Powerline or setting up another access point nearby. I would suggest against repeating as anything going through the repeater has half the usable bandwidth, which makes a difference if you send a lot of data back and fouth or are on anything higher than 7.1Mbps for DSL service.
