Wi-Fi repeater

First post here, old computer junkie but I admit I know very little about the pi.
Not sure if this is possible. I have a pi3 B model running retropi (which I love btw!) So there is a wireless antenna built in. The pi is connected to my router via powerline Ethernet since it's located on the edge of my routers signal range. I also have the kodi add on and it's replaced my Android box. Works better actually.
So....anyway to set this up? Keep in mind that I'm a Linux idiot....thanks.

Check out this article on the RaspberryPi site

Bear in mind, that this will probably use CPU on the Pi so you probably don't want to be using it for other stuff at the same time.

@simonster it's certainly worth a try, thank you!
Only thing I'm not sure about....it mentions having an up to date version of raspberian....all I have installed is the retropi os and kodi is installed as a port.

@zero_gravity You can try, but the pi works best functioning as one thing at a time. Its no powerhouse for multitasking.
