My first criteria when selecting an access point is "does it support

Then you're talking router and not access point. I prefer separate
router and access point, as I can put the AP in the best location,
rather than where's handy for a router. Also, with PoE, I don't have to
worry about proximity to AC power. I have my AP mounted up on the wall
in my laundry room, which is roughly in the middle of my condo and
provides a good signal throughout and even out on my balcony. If I used
router WiFi, in my computer room, I'd have a poor signal at the far end
of my unit. Regardless, the lack of info on those Samsung devices is a
real issue. That indicates dummy grade gear and limits what someone can
do with it.
BTW, I use pfSense for my firewall.

There is always Ubiquiti. Their stuff is a little more expensive than
what you will pay at CanadaComputers.
They tend to have decent long term support becuase they sell to WISPs
and there is usually an SSH/telnet capability built into the units so
you can poke around inside.
They now seem to sell direct in Canada.
