You might also seriously consider using an ethernet router and a
wireless access point as seperate boxes. The main point of failure
inside conglomerated wireless routers seems to be (my guess) the
router section. Get a superior router/firwall (e.g. Cisco PIX) and
probably any old wireless access point (or wireless router using just
the access point section) will work just fine.

I'm not so sure -- I've seen a fair number of access point failures due
to such things as ARP table overflow.
