It can also manage different users and passwords.

+1 for Ubiquiti. I'm personally waiting until my network gear starts to conk out or get too old, so I can replace it with their stuff, lol.

However, before you go spending loads on their AP's, I would try a switch or router first. Even before that, get to the root of the problem first. Don't go replacing gear that you may not necessarily have to.
Have you got an IT guy who is familiar with networking? Because Ubiquiti gear, while high quality, is going to be a step above the consumer stuff in terms of the configuration you'll need to do. This is especially true for the routers and switches, they are definitely not Plug and Play.
