Matt,
Did you perform any stress, stability or soak testing? Did you try with WAN connections from different providers? Did you try different packet sizes during your pings? Routers have industry-standard tests to run them through, and going through the HTML pages and transferring a file does not constitute a router test.
We have done all of the above. The Nexland Pro800 Turbo +hard+ crashes daily and looses packets. Sometimes it even looses all its config. We have had the box replaced multiple times - no help. We have tried their old and newest firmware. No help. It is getting so bad, that Nexland actually shut down their user forums (see www.nexland.com) because so many people are complaining!
I +do+ not recommend the Pro800 Turbo router. The only way we can keep the thing up is to have an automatic ping/tcp/http tester that power cycles the darn thing when it crashes multiple time per day.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?
There is another option. Compex has redundant + load balancing router (NP15-BR ). See:

Anyone use this?
Matt, maybe you could review this product too. This time, though, run it through a router test suite please. ;-)
Thanks a lot,
Marc
