THIS is a good router:

Absolutely awesome products, been playing with them for a few weeks now, and they are superb.
Their 'low-end' router is $300 if I read it correctly. Because I need multiple APs, I'm looking at quite a lot of money. I know they are good units, as a friend of mine exclusively uses them for all his clients.

We already have stuff that handles DHCP, filtering, firewall, etc, etc. I simply need a 'good' router, as in one I won't have to reset 3x a day like the Linksys we have now, that can do guest accounts on a different IP range.

One in an office environment, and one in a 'shop' environment. If they work properly, we'll probably put up a couple more. There are about 15-20 phones, tablets, and laptops that connect to our 'network' that we want to isolate onto a separate IP range since they just need internet connectivity.

EDIT: I should add that I'm getting conflicting reports as to how some of these routers do 'guest networks.' A few 'manuals' on the internet that I've found suggest that there are routers where you can isolate the guest network by IP range, but the Asus one only seems to do it by AP isolation. You can still tracert the other computers on the network, which is a problem for us as management wants it on a separate IP range completely.
