Linux-based 802.11n routers for WDS; -Linksys 310n etc. series do this also take a look at buffalo and asus, running DD-WRT should do what you suggest.
Keep in mind that "Gigabit" is not GIGABIT. Depending on hardware contraints you may not get the performance you are after. Same goes for the HW contraints of "consumer" routers with high load. What is your expected client per AP ratio? What apps / frequency will they be running? Are you talking GIGABIT just to uplink/tether the AP's. Good Luck!
