Reliable VPN Router with WAP

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a reliable small business VPN router (point to point and remote) with built-in Wireless. Currently have a Cisco RV082 (lacks WAP) and it's been problematic to say the least. Not opposed to sticking with Cisco, just looking for suggestions. For Cisco, I was looking at the RV220W. Thanks!

    Now we are considering something more robust, perhaps something like the Cisco 1941w. Does anyone here have any experience with the 1900ISR series?

    I know they cost a bit more than the SB counterparts, and will require a Security Technology Package License to enable VPN.

    You could probably save some money with by going with a 800 series Cisco router, such as CISCO891W-AGN-A-K9.

    Keep in mind that if you're not familiar with Cisco configuration it's going to be more difficult to setup than the SOHO devices (Linksys/D-Link) or GUI-based firewall/routers (SonicWall/WatchGuard). My company deploys a lot of WatchGuards for our clients, but in my opinion their remote access VPN is garbage.

    I should also mention that I don't like combined APs and routers, it limits AP placement.

    I took the RV082 back to CompUSA, along with the WRVS4400n, finally settled on the RV110. It has IPSec and PPTP VPN options, which allows my iPhone to connect to the network. Easy to use GUI, relatively cheap. If I had the money, I'd go for the RV220 myself.
