Their hardware has not been reliable. We've purchased 4 devices from them for our medium sized business - and 2 of them failed completely within 5 years. Maybe both failures were anomalies, but these were the only two commercial grade devices we've had that failed in that same period.

I'm not sure what these devices are based on, but there was a time when a lot of the Netgate lineup was using Intel C2000-series Avoton CPUs. Down the road it was discovered all of those were susceptible to a hardware big known at AVR54. Could it be why your devices failed?
