I am considering purchasing a SRP547W Router but there are a couple of things that I am trying to clear up before I do.
I am hoping that someone here can assist with the following questions:
I would really appreciate some help with the above. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sebastiaan,
Regarding your first comment, I believe that this comment is really a legacy of how the first SRP500 products (SRP520) worked. A 3G modem can certainly be added to the load balancing group.
[Note: failover must be disabled to use load balancing]
Regarding NAT. It is possible to configure load balancing with NAT, however in this case, remote Internet servers will potentially see sessions from remote hosts behind the SRP500 coming from different source IP addresses (the WAN IP addresses). This may cause sessions to be reset unexpectedly.
The SRP500 balances traffic on a per session basis in accordance with a user configurable weighting between WAN interfaces. A health check feature ensures that a WAN interface is removed from the load balancing group in the event network connectivity is lost for some reason.
Hope that helps,
Andy
