If you want, I can sell you a whole package. :)  We use individual APs 
with different SSIDs so a hung AP can be chosen away from.  Mostly 
EnGenius or Netgear WG302s.  We also have off site monitoring of the 
firewall and all APs so when they hang we can have them rebooted before 
guests complain.  Lastly, we also monitor bandwidth and latency off site 
to do capacity planning, and occasionally filtering when the load starts 
to outgrow the pipe.  Also, we have fine tuned the contracts from 
painful experience.  Lastly, we have started selling Linux based 
desktops for the business centers as well.  They love them!  No spyware!
