So I'm looking to buy a new router for our Home/Home office setup. My girlfriend has her own photography business and hired her first employee a few months ago and we would like to set up a nice VPN system (plus our current router kinda sucks). We talked to a friend of our who recommended this combo to satisfy our needs:
Linksys by Cisco RV042 4-port 10/100 VPN Router - Dual WAN

AirPort Extreme Base Station

Personally, I'm inclined not to buy the Apple wireless AP, and would normally go with something more like this:
Cisco Small Business WAP4410N Wireless Access Point

However, my girlfriend does use macs and so does her employee, so I don't know if the Apple might be better for wireless N compatability.
Overall, are these good choices and should I be looking at anything else? I've also looked a little at combined units, but I don't know if that would be better or worse to manage and since it seems the total price will be similar with 1 or 2 units, I'm inclined to go with 2 rather than 1.
