For a external antennas + reliability, and less than $300 I'd go with the WAP11. For office use and external antennas the Cisco 350 ruggerized is less than $600, it's reliable and has niceties like power over ethernet. There is also the Lucent AP-1000 which I can't vouch for from personal experience, but I had a lot of problems with an RG-1000 before flashing it with a third party firmware, after that it worked fine, and would even support other wireless cards. Stay away from the BEF series from Linksys and the Compaq AP's, both can be made to work, but were not headache free. (The RG-1000, like the Apple Airport can be attached to an antenna with minimal modification, though that's not in your spec...)
