I love Ubiquiti stuff, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who's not clued up on managing enterprise network gear.

A decent consumer grade router will be far better than the Virgin Hubs and if you're going to run an ethernet cable to put a new AP in a better position, there's almost certainly no need for enterprise grade gear in a residential property.

Again, the Ubiquiti stuff is fantastic kit, great hardware, but it's not as simple to set up and manage as a regular consumer router. You need the management software running somewhere for a start (you can't easily just log in to the AP and configure it).
