Are you testing these speeds over wifi or over wireless? Wifi clients that will hit close to gigabit speeds are fewer than most people realize. Test it over ethernet to ensure you are getting your full speed at the tap.
Almost any modern access point system (such as asus's xt series) can be very reliable solid systems, just have to be wired backhaul. Once you dive into wireless backhaul using A N Y of these companies built in wireless backhaul, you will start to have little gremlins.
