HT-502 more reliable now?

I have an asterisk box that I connect my HT-502 to on a LAN, so there is not likely to be any connectivity or latency problems. Yesterday I found the 502 to all of a sudden NOT be registered to my * box anymore. I rebooted it and it re-registered and started working again. Sounds very similar to the problems VOIPo was having with them. It was connected for a couple of days and then suddenly disappeared. It is running the .21 firmware so I am thinking about backing it down to an older version.

if the HT-502 is yours, you can try you luck at using the latest beta firmware

I replaced my 286 with a 503, only because in addition to my voipo line, I have a (basically) free POTS line from verizon, so I use that with my asterisk server and toll-free/911/411 calls go out the pots line by preference. I have not noticed any issues with registration failures. I'll read the release notes for the beta firmware though.

Interesting. Lots of bug fixes that's for sure. I've never been a big fan of Grandstream's stuff, but I have had good experiences with their support. I had an old Handy Tone desk phone thing that was messed up out of the box, and they helped me a lot with new firmware and such to get it working.

Where was Grandstream when we needed them?

I thought I'd post a follow up. I haven't had any trouble with it since I posted last. I think part of my problem was related to the time sync. I noticed the time on my Asterisk box was WAY off and drifting badly. I am running * on a virtual machine and have since fixed the time problem. I wonder if maybe the registration time was so screwed up the 502 was confused? The 502 also syncs its time and was correct, but the * box was totally goofed up.
