I didn't want to directly come out and name the product in question. 
Didn't want to appear as if I were advertising for them....  :-)

But, since you asked.  My Dad ending up getting this
http://www.ubnt.com/powerapn

The datasheet and guides are on their site.  I think he paid just over
$100/US for the unit.

He is quite happy with it.  And since, I thought, we were talking about
a unit for single household use I thought I'd mention his experience. 

There really isn't that much more I can add.  I didn't do the setup for
him myself since he lives about 6K miles away.
