Hi @ramontam,

 

We do advise it can take 24-48 hours to respond to posts. I'm sorry for the slight delay.

 

So we can help further, please let us know the details below:


Your speed test results from here.

Your ping test results from here.

Your external IP address from here.

Thanks,

Matt B

This worked for me:

 

Thanks for the reply. Rather than spend £100 for the latest Sure Signal, I purchased a new power adapter off of eBay (please check it is okay for you, this is a suggestion and not a definite solution, ie do not blame me if it does not solve the problem for you):

 

(Removed according to House Rules)

 

 The Sure Signal sprung back to life almost instantly with solid 1,2 & 4 lights and all mobiles in the house connected.

 

The power adapter seems to be the problem, as seen in numerous posts.

 

The 4G phones would not connect on Network Mode setting of GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto so I changed it to GSM/WCDMA auto and they connected like a treat. As far as I understand all the Sure Signals do not work with 4G. So you will need to do this swap at home and when you leave home.

 

Strangely enough the trace route still does not connect, see below:
