any recommendations for a basic (2.4Ghz N is fine) PoE ceiling mounted access point that would play nice with my Arris BGW210-700? CAT6 is already run to the location.

I would also need suggestions on a PoE power supply to install at the router if the AP doesn't come with one.

I use Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-Pro behind that router without a problem. I have used it both with that as the main router and DHCP server and, more recently, with essentially all function on that router turned off and passing through it as the backup/fail safe line for my USG. It works fine.

Other considerations:
If you like ugly access points
If you’re sadistic and want to have to look up how do to essentially any function in their forums
But I would probably just recommend This one which comes with mounting hardware and a PoE injector.

I would recommend buying a PoE network switch but that might be overkill in your situation. If you buy a Ubiquiti Unifi AP it comes with a PoE injector. Basic PoE injectors are cheap if whatever you buy doesn't come with one.

Engenius APs are also good. I installed a few recently but I don't think those came with PoE injectors.
