If you can find it, have a watch of this BBC program made in 1996. Derek Jacobi is excellent as Turing.

I always thought Derek Jacobi was a little old when this filmed to play Turing!

At the time of filming, he was six years older than Turing was at the time of his death - not a huge discrepancy.

The access point I have at the moment is doing fine until Mrs Wife connect her iPhone 5s, which makes it decide to lose its wits and will have to be restarted regularily.
This is apparently a known problem between some iPhones and certain Atheros chipsets. (AppleTV and iPad2 isn't affected, neither are any other devices we own as far as I can tell)

Anyway, I'd like to get some recommendations for access points that can handle many simultaneous connections without favourizing any connections.
Long range is preferable as well as dual band.
A high WAF is also positive.

I can't really help you, but I'll say that I have two WIFI networks and I keep the kid and his Apple products separate from mine. Cool | :cool:

(They do, of course, use the same connection to the Internet.)

I caved and bought an Apple Airport. Things started working properly with my other apple devices after that.

The only issue is now they get together and shout rude names at my Windows and Android devices.

I ripped out all my old networking stuff at home and installed (All Ubiquiti);

Main Network
EdgeRouter Pro
Edgeswitch 24-250w
Unifi AC AP

CCTV Network
2x8 Port ToughSwitch
NanoStation M5 Wireless Bridge

And over here in Qatar, have an EdgeRouter POE, the intent is I will eventually set up a S2S link between the UK/Qatar. Depending on What happens with work in Qatar, if I'm staying I will probably put ubiquiti Wifi in as well.

Getting my head round the millions of options was a bit of a learning curve, but that was for doing some of the fancier stuff on the routing side of things.

The normal stuff like ports, firewalls, dhcp etc. are all pretty straight forward from the GUI.

Agree, Unify stuff is almost enterprise features for consumer price. Have three AC PRO's covering my whole house, with separate guest network.
Excellent!

I installed 2 NETGEAR WAC720[^] this weekend and they work without problems with Apple, iOS and Windows devices. They aren't cheap but they are the only ones that I found to support seamless roaming without a dedicated wireless controller.
Before I used an ASUS RP-N53[^] and it also worked without issues with all the devices.
