How often would you see dropouts and can you tell us make/model/version 
for such a broken WAP?

T-COM Speedport W700V (version 01B)
T-COM Speedport W701V (version unknown)
Linksys WRT54GL (V1.1)

While I use the first one daily I have used the others for some time 
also. And I always use 63 random character passphrases.
