Not true.  There are hundreds of thousands of Grandstream adapters in use around the world.  Grandstream support is not perfect, but it is as good or better better than most vendors, including Linksys/Sipura. The Grandstreams do currently have a bug with header compression right now that causes problems for some PPPoE setups, but it's getting fixed.  The newest firmware is very stable overall.
 
We work with almost every device and they all have some issues.  If you consider the vast variety of different equipment that these things have to be interoperable with you can begin to appreciate how challenging it is to make them work properly.  Given the dynamic nature of the environment, there will always be a certain number of situations where a given product doesn't perform.
 
I stand by my original assertion.  The Linksys line of products are also excellent, but they are considerably more expensive for the same functionality.

Grandstreams are totally useless, I had to switch all my phones to Linksys. Grandstream will not even support you and their router side do not work for the 486 or 496.
