Sure Signal 3 - Suddenly stopped working

Hello,

I have had my Vodafone Sure Signal 3 for some years now - through different routers, even changed address.  Always fine.   Suddenly a few days ago it stopped working. No other change happening at same time.

 

I have follwed Jenny's guide - in mcase power is flashing, internet is off,
service light is solid orange, in use light is off

i.e.

Waited 24 hours
Checked Im registered (and updated my address)
checked physical connection - changed cable. Green light is on, other light is flashing
Checked active internet (using it now !)
Re-booted router (turned all off, waited, all on again)
Checked that it has an ip address by using home hub manager to see connected devices (it seems to consistently use 192.168.1.65
Port forwarding & MTU settings - I have not changed port forwarding and it has been working fine (plus not sure what to do here)
Reset using button underneath device

And for the most part done these several times each !

 

Serial number is 40124248861

BT is ISP - Home Hub 5

external ip address 86.182.147.178

Download speed 17Mbps, upload 8Mbps

 

Should I just go and buy a new one ?

thanks for any ideas, Su

update :  it has just (after having done nothing from my side) started working again.


A colleague with same model said he had just had similar experience - stopped working and then (without doing anything) started working again.

 

hmmmm

 

Anyways, thanks all suggestions.
