Cisco Aironet 1100 + pfSense.  No problems whatsoever in covering a 
2000-sq. ft. retail/industrial area.

I should, however, point out that ours was installed by a Haitian witch 
doctor well-versed in the voodoo sciences, so that may have had 
something to do with its near-infalliable reliability.  It has been 
known to come to life and roam the countryside demanding feasts of human 
brains, however.
