did you try skipping the router, plugging usb directly to pc? disconnect inside avalon.
sometimes the router pcb faults due to overheating.. the cards are 20usd on ebay..
disable wlan. only use lan. seems your lan goes on and off?
did you try modules one by one in your working module to see if one is faulty?

I've run CGMiner directly using the USB and received all the same error messages. 

Just now I've used the working machine to run the modules from the sick machine (named Hanns) and can now confirm that all the modules work and are able to mine when connected to the still-working Avalon, an identical Batch 3 machine named Ada.  This would seem to narrow down the problem a little bit, we used the cords from Ada, so it is possible that there is a problem somewhere with a cable gone wrong.

I'll try to get it mining via lan-only, but I've had trouble configuring that in the past for some reason.  Any tips or a link to a decent guide (or even half a guide) on how to mine via lan would be extremely helpful.  It seems that I'm a little confused as to how to actually disable the wireless.

As a curious side note, when I opened up Ada only 2 of the 4 plugs going from the PSU to the machine were actually plugged in inside.  In contrast Hanns had all four 8 pin connections in place.  I found this odd as both machines have been mining for quite some time with this configuration and was almost certain that the way Hanns came was the way it should be set up.  Seeing that Ada hasn't had any problems and was only opened up so I could test the modules in Hanns and do a little cleaning, I was curious if anyone else had found their units to be like this inside when open?

Anyways, will be checking this thread often and trying everything.  Currently am pursuing a replacement FPGA as it seems like one of the leading candidates for being the issue and wouldn't be a bad thing to have laying around if it isn't.

Thanks again everyone.  Let's save Hanns! 

P.S. Did I mention the 1BTC bounty?
