No. I like Linksys or Cisco, although I'm not a fan of their newer routers/aps without the antennas. I've had good luck with TP Link as well.

No, but again you don't need to, simply place them on seperate channels like suggested above. You can turn off the SSID broadcast so that way noone can connect to the other networks unless they know the name, but I imagine you're going to implement some kind of security which essentially does the same job, this is just more thorough.

A different antenna would only increase range.
