By Anh Quach -
The Unifi stuff is super nice and has some surprising features for the price. Quick setup, too.
The other one I've been investigating - If you use an Astaro/Sophos UTM, they've got their own AP's that are controlled by the UTM, which seems convenient. Those run about $400 per AP I think.

+1 for Ubiquity. We have 50+ of their Unifi Pro APs and the controller (free) runs on a VM. The APs are powered by PoE.
Super affordable and has most of the features of the "enterprise" WiFi outfits.

ZERO issue since we implemented a year ago.They just work. No problems. No rebooting. Comes with some great software to help you plan where they need to go and adjust for the least amount of interference. Hand off works seamlessly walking around our building 20k sqft. We have 4 Units in LA to cover that. .In total its supporting as of right now 1000+ devices Between LA and BC offices. Phones, Laptops and Ipads etc. Authentication if you need it is seamless. Vlan support. Multi SSID etc. Any feature you want..pretty much Also you can track people via triangulation in the building to find out where that device is :) Very handy :)and this is the controller we got

- BrianTried a good home 802.11AC router (Asus AC66U) but am underwhelmed by its reach and there are not really companion pieces (matching AC units from ASUS) for extending, plus it's unclear they'd support cabled (not wifi) interconnect.I'm not worried about security, WiFi is outside the firewall. But would like it to work reliably and I would like to be able to extend the network to cover all our office space.Would prefer to interconnect the devices by existing Cat5, not wifi, have them share and hand off the same network properly. Though part of me is also thinking screw this WDS crap, just set the three up identically, same channel and let devices work it out.For a while I had an Apple (shudder) Airport-N and two Express-N's working OK (though one or more was always blinking about a WDS error). But then I updated them and reconfigured them (again and again and again)... now if I connect all three together, even with WDS fully setup, it tends to kill the connection for all. And I hate the proprietary crap software one has to use to config. Plus I think their special Apple built-in obsolescence timer is either ringing or will soon.
So is there another solution that's not too much more than the $200 or so I'm looking to spend for a router and another $100 or so per repeater?
