6 months running at sub freezing temperatures with no hiccups
Great product. When you have sensor that needs to be deployed remotely for an extended period of time, the amount of code required is astonishing. Watchdog timers, out of memory/memory fragmentation prevention, encryption, over the air updates, etc... Normal Arduinos just can't handle it. Upgrading to an Atmel ATmega2560 is a requirement if you don't want to make the jump to more advanced platforms such as mbed or keil. The problem is that there really aren't many non-wifi solutions for the 2560. Especially given that many of the Arduino Mega Sheilds have all sorts of problems with power usage. This product is one of those rare solutions and it works great. We have ~12 devices out in the field. Most of them are in enclosures 30ft+ off the ground and are being run off of POE setup. Some are connected to a switch on fiber. Others on normal cellular modems with a power injector. I hope they keep producing them as I will be likely purchasing another 100 units over the course of next year.

Great product
I have always been astonished by the innovation of Freetronics in relation to this and other products. It is a great board combining the power of the Arduino Mega with the ethernet connectivity. And thanks to RobotShop we got it in good quantities for a great price.

Good Product - Reasonable Price
Yes please! This is a great product, wonderful combination of the MEGA and the Ethernet board. Seems pretty stable so far. Everyone please buy one so they keep making them!

Great product for automation
More dependable than wifi controllers and one less part to worry about breaking down without having to have the ehternet shield. Check out the maker of this product on his you tube channel called SuperHouse
