Ubiquiti ER-X and AC Pro

Have they fixed the "seamless roaming" on the AC units ? Last time I looked into their stuff I know that was broken.

Cabling a small market (150ft cables)

As drebo stated, better to have all "home runs" and always run at least on more cable than you need. The only diff I would suggest is Cat 6 cable instead of 5e, the cost diff in cable is nothing compared to the labor/aggravation or running it.

Centralized antivirus for a domain controller/NAS running Windows Server 2012 R2?

You could try Vipre Business AntiVirus. They make a version specifically for Hyper-V servers. You can also centrally manage all AV clients from the management console. I've found that Vipre tends to have a bit less system resource overhead than Symantec...

Retiring my 16 year old old 4000n for an m651dn

iPhone 4S sample photos (8mp @ f/2.4)

I would agree, a cell phone cam will not come anything close to your Nikon D3 or Elph, but I doubt you have it on your person at all times. The best camera you own is the one you have with you. And most people always have a cell phone with them.

Nikon Mirrorless V-1

If you really want a rangefinder style cam as a carry around "street" cam ( and can't afford a Leica M9) , then look at something like the new Fuji retro cams. I think they better represent that niche, than the new Nikon mirror-less models. It looks like Nikon is a afraid to make a good modern...

client - AP preference in 2-AP LAN

You might also try reducing the power output on one or both of the APs. That should reduce the range and allow them to more readily roam to the second AP. It's not the power level, but the signal/noise ratio that counts for connection quality/speed. Also, if you have them both running DD-WRT...

Where to get CAT6a shielded plenum rated cable?

As someone else here pointed out to me, if you NEED shielded cable, then you NEED fiber. That's what we ended up doing here for one of our long runs that had to pass over an area with a 4KWatt laser cutter. No probs since we replaced the copper with that.
