I think where my current set-up's challenges come into play is that my wireless router has to live right beside the electrical panel in the utility box. The amount of interference it likely has to overcome is significant.

I just spent the evening tracing/toning the data lines throughout the house, so I know what cable goes where. Have to replace five of the wall plates with RJ45 wall plates as the builder used RJ11 plates instead. D'oheth.

Found setup no easier or difficult than a typical consumer router.
I played around with the UniFi management demo (http://demo.ubnt.com/) and was very impressed by how simple it looked to configure.
