Hi Sam & Jason, I got one of the Ubiquiti Unifi Lite access points (from box.co.uk <http://box.co.uk/>) and it works well. The only disappointment was that it doesn't seem possible to create a Wifi network with the same name as the existing one (which is vaguely visible in the studio but too weak to be useful). Presumably two networks with the same name conflict?
