Reliable wireless APs?

[Neil Joseph Schelly]

I know this is a question bound to evoke lots of opinion, but that's kind of 
what I'm aiming for.  I've been replacing cheap home APs/routers too often 
lately and have had two fail in my office recently.  Serving only a few 
people, maybe, at a time, wireless access points from a big name like Cisco 
seem like overkill.  While they may be more reliable, ther prohibitive price 
tags are just not worth it here.

Has anyone had any good experience with spending in the range of $100 or so on 
an access point or router that offers something in the way of reliability 
more than the cheap $30-40 range equipment?  I'm not overly concerned with 
features, so long as 128-bit WEP is supported, especially since I'll use it 
only as an access point, not a router.  

Thanks,
-Neil
