If massive range is what you're after, there's also the PowerAP N.

The unifys are good, i have 9 of them covering a school here in blenheim. You cant go wrong with any of the Ubiquity gear, its enterprise grade, none of this cheap dlink/belkin consumer grade rubbish :D

We use UniFi but I wouldn't recommend it for just a single AP. Their software is built to work where you have dozens of access points. You need special software on your comptuer/server to manage them and it can be a bit of a headache. maybe their PowerAP series would be better than UniFi?

The Management software (windows/mac/linux) doesn't need to be running at all after the initial set up of them. (buts its nice to have it running).
