[Freeswitch-users] Grandstream gateways

[Chris Chen]

You haven't really put it into production for more than one year. The issue
with GXW4108 is that after some time, say a couple of months, either all FXO
ports not working, or worse, some FXO ports not working, but after power
recycling, they will come back to work for some time until on strike again
at some time you have no control.

This had been reported for a couple of years without improvement. Go google
search you will find out, this has happened to many GXW4108 users.
