We bought two Kinetics Fastpaths just over a year ago. For
political reasons they were only put into service recently.
Both of these pieces of hardware have gone seriously wrong
and had to be returned to the manufacturers in the States
for repair, one within days of setup and the other a matter
of weeks later. 
Now the unit lent to us by the supplier in lieu has been acting up 
- seemingly when it gets over hot. I switched it off and after it 
had cooled off, worked fine again (for how long remains to be seen).

Have any other KFP users had problems - especially with boxes of
a similar age? I wonder whether there was some design fault, now
fixed (or not as the case may be).

Should we have invested in some other router - Gatorbox for instance?
