We have been using lightweight APs behind ADSL lines in H-REAP mode for over a year and it has worked fine so far. We had some reliability issues in the beginning but the newer controller version fixed those issues. I have actually set up an AP in my house, over my cable modem, connected it to my hardware VPN and it works fine.
The only special thing we do is we assign a static IP to the AP before deploying it. For some reason the AP does not always grab a DHCP address during the discovery process.

We have some students and employees that are in houses that are serviced currently by DSL or cable modems. Our controllers currently have a private ip address. Is it possible to set an ap to use H-REAP and then nat the controllers for it to then talk too? How reliable is this? The equipment in the houses consist of a Linksys router and maybe a unmanaged switch.
