Definitely not using 5 GHz. You might be able to get OK coverage using 2.4 GHz, but it won't be fast far from the router.
Given that you have wired infrastructure, your best bet would be wired APs, like the Ubiquiti Unifi APs.
Repeaters are a poor solution, but It's not clear why you don't want to go the AP route.
