I went through the same pain and did some research. My research led me to Ubiquiti routers and AP's, some consensus is that ubquiti has better hardware. Same problem/advantage, not beginner friendly but once set up pays off in spades.

This is what I have: EdgeRouter Lite - 3 port router (goes to an existing 24 port switch so didn't need more ports) and Unifi Long Range AP.

Work well together, stable and super fast. One AP has given coverage on three floors of my house easily, where before I had to use two or three AP's.
