For comparison I have recently left an N810 with wifi switched on and only checked it once a day, no other activity. It took a week to get to one day standby/ one hour in-use.

Good test, muki. I've never had the chance to do a check like that. But I do know that with the wi-fi routers at work (some Linksys and D-link routers) there's no dip in the battery indicator if I leave it on wi-fi for 12 hours (with the occasional email notification and things). A non-PSM router, on the other hand, will drain the battery in two or three hours under the same conditions.
Oh, and poor signal will also drain the battery much quicker.

Being a cheap git I never give any thought to PSM when I bought my current router for ~£19 :-) Is it safe to assume all new routers support PSM?

BTW: Mine's a PlexusWBR-T2-v0.2 aka TendaTWL548D

I have an N810 which I tether to a Nokia E51 (3G connection)
With the following setup:
1. boot to internal memory
2. no SD in external card slot
3. no swap memory
4. only use QTNX to connect to a desktop computer, nothing else
I turn my N810 into a thin client, and do all the heavy lifting on my home computer. NX blasts any other remote desktop out there -- it's like I'm working locally!

Bottom line: I managed to get ~6 hours of almost constant use.
