If anyone cares the downtime was from 13:54:03 to 15:18:18.
Also anyone running their business/office with cable (or DSL) should consider also having a second cheaper connection with the other type, using something like this, which will use both connections bandwidth when they're up, and if one fails it will switch your traffic to the one remaining connection seamlessly. (Obviously don't use Shaw and then a Shaw reseller as your backup.. mix cable and ADSL.)
I've had success setting up less technical users with Peplink Balance multi-WAN routers. The web-based configuration is pretty accessible for "prosumers"; see the live demo. They're priced reasonably too.
yes,

Great, thanks for the reply. I was just looking at the peplink balance 20 as well. Expensive but could work?

I am also currently using this as our router. Would this work as the AP?

So it would look something like: 2 modems==>peplink==> TP link ==>all devices
Man, I wish I could get a connection that fast where I live!
On a more serious note, it will work just like you said. However, you will need a "special" router that has support for a multi-wan setup.
I don't have any experience with multi-wan routers (outside of BGP setups with multiple wan connections), but maybe something like http://www.amazon.com/Peplink-Balance-20-Dual-WAN-Router/dp/B0042210U6.
Highly recommend the peplink balance product, there are many dual-WAN routers out there, but none that "just work" in all use cases for less than what these cost. In fact most units that are far more expensive still don't work as well-- often times these get put in front of equipment in the 5-figure price range. For the extra $100 it's probably worth it to get the triple-WAN product for future growth.

Then look into a multi-AP setup, I'm a big fan of Ubiquiti Unifi personally but they are far from the only vendor worth looking at. I'm biased as well because I can build a network with them in my sleep.
A cheap robust solution would be a handful of linksys e2500 dual-band routers setup as access points. Gobs of bandwidth for under $60 a unit.
