I would recommend their products except for one thing: They have quite a
few different models which experience a still-unfixed problem where the
Ethernet port(s) simply go silent for 5-20 minutes and then come back
all on their own (or with a reboot). Totally unacceptable, and their
support forums are filled with others having the same problem *and* no
confirmation of what the company is doing to fix it.
And hard to debug, I'm sure, because the problem is one of those
"happens every other day for 4 days, then not again for 3 weeks" kinds
of bugs.
