I bought one of these net6501-70 models in 2015 and then started seeing a lot of these reports of dead machines. I use mine primarily as a simple firewall running pfSense and it is still running but I noticed pretty warm (cpu 88 deg. C while idle). After reading so many of these reports and seeing an article on ARS Technica about router speeds ( http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/numbers-dont-lie-its-time-to-build-your-own-router/ ) I decided to get a backup ready using the latest article ( http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/09/the-router-rumble-ars-diy-build-faces-better-tests-tougher-competition/ ) and now have that Qotom model ready to go with pfSense just in case the 6501 dies prematurely. I’ll replace it soon after I figure out the VOIP issue I’m working on, one problem at a time.
