[P1] wireless router issues

I had an original (Graphite) AirPort Base Station (bought when they 
were initially offered) that was repaired by Apple only to replace an 
acknowledged component failure; other than that, I had no problems with 
it. I also have a Netgear MR814 that I've used for just under two years 
(we had to replace the ABS to allow my wife to connect to her employer 
by VPN) and had absolutely no trouble with whatsoever.

(Of course, I bought the Netgear model back when this sort of device 
still cost about a hundred bucks, before you could get them by just 
sending in two or three cereal box tops. I don't know if that makes a 
difference...)
