Hello.
We have a smallish office, covering 2 storeys, 2nd and 3rd flor of a 3 story building.
We would like to have WIFI covering our whole office, with seamless handoff (i.e. one SSID, and automatically changing from one AP to another). The usage is very light, browsing and mail from iphones and ipads. No more than 15 users connected at a time, and only a few using it at the same time.
Currently we have 5 WRT-54GL using DD WRT set up WAPs using the guide here:http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_Point
But the latency, and speed is horrible.
The "air" is pretty congested here, with a lot of 2.4 Ghz wlans, and a single 5 Ghz.
So my question is, what do I need to set up a functioning network for us?
Our budget is ~$600 (530 euro).
I've looked at the popular AC68U, but doesn't know if it's good for a bigger network of APs.
I've also looked at Ubiquiti Unifi, but their AC AP isn't getting good reviews, and is fairly expensive.
I've been thinking tat we could get away with only having the equipment on one of the floors?
Theres a floorplan of our 2 storey office here:

2nd storey, multiple offices and walls:
3rd storey, open layout, few walls:
Any imput, are greatly appreciated!
