Yes, you can use an Ethernet shield and plug that into a WiFi repeater

You will probably find this cheaper than a WiFi shield even if you don't already have the Ethernet shield. WiFi shields are not without their problems. This method avoids all of them. I did it because it was the bleeding obvious but I believe it is now becoming the norm.

Or you could use the wireless/SD shield and a WiFly unit or an XBEE shield and a Wifly (Wifly and xbee have the same pinout.)

The Wifly option is cheaper (just) and simpler and only usethe tx/rx pins which you arn't going to be using for serial.

google WiflY.
