Not to much.  3 years ago I purchased a basic Netgear 802.11b router/WAP
for a little over $150 (which was cheap for them 3 years ago).  It ran
fine for 13 months, died, was quickly replaced under warranty (3 year
warranty), and ran fine up until 2 months ago when I purchased a Linksys
WRT54GS ($80) to replace it so that I could upgrade to 802.11G.  So far
the Linksys router/WAP has run fine with no rebooting needed.  I would
have gotten another Netgear, but I liked the idea of having the option
of running a custom linux ROM on the linksys if I so desire.
