Robust Access Point Recomendation?



Does anyone have a recommendation for a rock solid AP.

I have a US Robotics 802.11b unit at the moment (v cheap from
ebuyer). I have a suspicion that it drops out for a second or two
every minute or so (so Netstumbler seems to indicate).  This seems
to cause my Dell Axim X30's to lock up when running XLobby.

(I only use the wireless network for control not streaming so it
doesnt need to be high performance 'b' is fine!).

So if you can recomment a 'value' AP that doesn't 'drop out' (has a
nice strong solid green bar in Netstumbler with no interruptions)
that would be great.

(As an aside, I'm assuming that the current AP appearing to drop a
pole every minute or two from Netstumbler is rare/wrong and that
most people don't get this.  Is this true or do most AP's seem to do
this.)

Thanks for this.  This locking is proving to be a real pain.  Apart
from this the setup is really good and if I could get the robustness
then it would be perfect!

Thx
