my home network is split up.
pfsense running on PCEngines APU1 board with Draytek vigor130 to handle BT's 40meg fibre line
Linksys LAP-N600 (2.4&5ghz)
distributed between two gig switches; netgear ProSAFE GS108Ev3 for behind the tv and a HP Procurve 1810g-24 that work decommisioned so i took advantage of free kit :)

i had enough of messing around with off the shelf stuff. unreliable, and never really kept firmwares coming for security flaws or well known issues... or missing features like custom DHCP options for PXE boot etc.
my setup is rock solid and the pfsense dev team are proactive on fixing stuff.
