[Pauldotcom] Durable AP Needed

I'm hoping someone can recommend a durable AP for use in demos and 
travel.  I typically carry a few Linksys WRT's, or newer E4200's, but 
between my leaving home or a hotel and getting home, they are frequently 
broken (along with a suspicious "Hey, we invaded your privacy in the 
name of security theater TSA flyer").  Not that I'm jaded, or anything.

I need the AP to be 802.11 b/g/n (5 GHz a/n is optional) with at least 
four switch ports and support for NAT to an uplink network.  I also need 
it to support open security, WEP, WPA2-PSK and WPA2 Enterprise IEEE 
802.1X (which my Linksys AP's do no problem).  External antennas are not 
desirable just for reliability (very little range is needed).

The smaller the better, and I would love a metal case like some of the 
older Netgear units, but realize that metal and WiFi are problematic.

Any advice?

Thanks!
