We are preparing to build a completely new wireless network in our new building and we are looking for good access points.
We would like to go for 802.11n capable access points.
Any suggestions in good, low-cost, n-ready (not necessarily necessary) access points?

Update: “N” Isn’t really important. We may use it in some areas in the future, but for right now not so much.
Update: POE is necessary though.
Yet Another Update: I reference this in another post, Multiple SSID Security Option on wifi.
Well, darn, you had to ask for ‘n.’ We’re starting to tinker with the 3Com 7760, which meets a lot of the other requirements, including multiple SSIDs, for around $200 per unit. But…looking for 802.n is going to make things harder. Please share if you find a great answer.

The ‘n’ is really reducing the number of options and increasing the price of those options. It is the most negotiable feature and we may just set up ‘n’ access points in key areas where needed in the future.
Do the multiple SSIDs make it possible for you to secure one SSID and give the other SSID access only to the internet without needing multiple access points interfering with each other?
