Router recommendations?

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'd love to be able to move my cable drop / router / DTV connection to somewhere more central in the house, but I don't think that's feasible with our open floor plan. That's what is appealing about the Ubiquiti Pro AP - that it can be mounted anywhere as long as I can get a CAT cable to it via the attic / walls. And the mesh network setups just cover everywhere with multiple access points.

Yep, when we renovated, I ran ethernet all over the house and had two drops in the ceiling (one in the open TV room/kitchen and one in the bedroom) specifically for APs. We have great coverage throughout the house. I'm very happy with them.
