Sky MER and SS

Recently took out an iPhone SIM only tariff with VF and at the same time ordered a SS box as I knew there was no VF 3G at home (only get Edge)

 

I should have read these forums before ordering really as my ISP is Sky and my D-LINK Sky router was changed over to MER the other week, which apparently wont work with the SS box?

 

Are VF working on this issue, considering Sky are in the process of changing over all their Broadband users from PPPoA to MER?

Hi guys,

 

I've just had word back from our Sure Signal engineers that the new Sky IP ranges mentioned on the last page have now been added to our firewall whitelist.

 

Can anyone on Sky who was in that IP range please let me know if your Sure Signal is now working. You'll be able to check your IP address here. Please note that you may just need to reset your Sure Signal beforehand.

Hi @stewbags

 

Looking at this, it’s not showing that the Vodafone Sure Signal serial number that you’ve given is registered?

 

Can you check that you’re provided the correct number and let us know what light sequence you’re seeing.

 

Cheers,

 

Laura

that is the number on the box, 42151107010

 

I have a solid red light and a flashing first while light (the globe with the arrow going around it).

My SureSignal serial number is 40131965929. Red light is on but it has never - as far as I'm aware - connected successfully. It's on a new Sky Router and when I lent it to a friend some 18 months ago, I'm told it successfully connected but since then, it has been plugged in, but hasn't worked

Consequenly, as a homeworker who spends at least 40% of the day on the phone, I have to lean out of the window to get a decent signal and even then it's unpredictable.

It's very frustrating to say the least, especially when I'm on customer calls. It's a really poor advert for Vodafone
