This, probably, unless you want to spend a little bit of money.

Though I think your infrastructure could be handled most inexpensively by a
Ubiquiti UniFi setup; 3 to 5 of the UniFi AP-AC-Lite.  5 packs of these are
going to $350 on B&H, but I don't think that includes their PoE injectors
(unsure).  Or combine that with one of their EdgeRouters and you'll be set.

3 is probably all you need because they do 2.4 and 5.8 on the same box, so
it's like having six APs.  Plus they can distribute the client load and
force bounce certain clients off to reconnect to a different AP.  Quite a
neat way to go.

I can help you with a proper parts list to implement the above setup if
it's something you're interested in actually getting done, email me off
list.

Thanks,

Ray
