So on that note, do you have any brands/manufacturers/chipsets that you see as particularly good in terms of being a client?

Its always a gamble when I get a new phone/laptop/device if it will work with the multi-AP setup I have in my house, and I'm really tired of getting something and bringing it home only to find it hangs on to the furthest AP for dear life.

As a client, the Intel wifi hardware works quite well, as does the software stack on top of it (at least on Linux). It helps that they're the ones who've written a fair bit of the wifi stack itself.

Ubiquiti UniFi AC or UniFi AC-LR. I'm not the poster above you were asking. Never need rebooting. Present a single AP name for multiple devices and both 2.4 and 5.x GHz. Reasonable price for home use. Based on personal experience in a large house. grk, roaming works just fine.

Klathmon was asking about clients, not APs.
