I have a TP-Link TL-WA901ND access point.  While it generally works
well, it has one bug.  It supports mulitple SSIDs and VLANs.  However,
the native LAN leaks into the VLAN, so that anything connected to the
2nd SSID gets the wrong DHCP etc. info.

I also have a TL-SG105E managed switch that generally does what it's
supposed to, but also has some bugs.

So, I'd put them at the lower end of the quality spectrum.
