When you add in all in one and include wireless I have to shake my head.
Separate wifi is a far better way to go allowing the OP to place the AP in optimal locations and yes plural because dont expect optimal wifi with one device.
Additionally wifi standards/tech is a moving target and why make a router obsolete because you have tied it down with wifi.
Go for the best router $$ can buy and to the wifi devices separately.

Sure. I expect the op buys as many devices as he needs to cover his area.

Any recommendation without knowing the layout of the wifi area to be covered is very generic at best.
