A second WNDR3700 or WN2500RP to extent range?

I have an older (couple of years I assume) WNDR3700 router that's served me quite well. I often get a dropped connection on the back patio (about 40 ft away from router) so I thought I'd get a WN2500RP range extender. Not working too well. I often can get better reception when connected to the main router SSID than I can with the _2GEXT SSID and have to change my laptop or iPad back to the original SSID.

Would I be better off getting a second WNDR3700 and setting up wireless repeating with a second router than the range extender?

Can MAC filtering be use along side WPA or WPA2 for added security or is MAC filtering a waste of time with WPA/WPA2?
