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.
- 1MachineElf 5y agoI'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?
