this depends very much on the specific NVRAM being used.
10^5 is ok for current devices.
10^4 would be a guess if they are some years old.

then you have to take into account what counts as a "cycle": AFAIR today
you count the erasures (which is done per sector and includes lots og
bytes), before i think some
might count real "write" cycles to each inidividual byte: if your modem
manufacterer grabbed one
of them you may run into trouble more easilly then with one of the modern
10^5s.
