Sure Signal V1 not connecting

Hi

 

My SS V1 has suddenly stopped working within the last few days.

Have solid 1st light and does connect to the internet with steady 2nd light and flashing 4th light.

Status will then look to reset/flash through all lights and start again.

Broadband is via BT Infinity and line/router stable for weeks.

Read the forum and looks like a possible issue either with BT or SS V1 firmware???

 

Ive gone through the motions of  resetting it as per the mods but no joy.

All BT kit reset and spare cable and port used.

All TCP/UDP port forwarding correct as per mods.

device placed in DMZ/no firewall

 

here's other info

Hi

Well I've resolved this eventually after trawling through other forums/posts and trying different things....

After several weeks of resets & watching my SSV1 go through the motion of booting & trying to connect to the internet (bearing in mind that all the time my HH3 router was allowing this through & providing good IP address etc, I was left with my device with just the green light.

I tried de/re-registering etc & also ensuring my BT HH3 firmware was not the issue.

As the device never showed any power issues (good LED status, boot sequence, connectivity train etc), it never crossed my mind to suspect the power supply.

However, the engineer in me decided to try another power supply and to my utter surprise, my sure signal is now fully functional!!!

I've tried original PSU in another socket & exact same symptoms post booting. Device 'looks' like it's trying to connect up but then it simply fails to do so.

I'm more than happy that I have my 3G signal back now having lost it for so many weeks.

Hi,

I have bought a new power supply and swapped it over and done a full reset but I still only have the power light fully on...when I reset the lights flash on each setting but don't come on afterwards.

Hi @Walczak 

 

Thanks for supplying all the information. 

 

I've made a few changes from this side. I now need you to do a reset: 

 

The reset button needs to be held in throughout this entire process

 

  • Press and hold down the reset button for 30 seconds
  • The LED’s flash once from top LED to bottom LED in sequence
  • Continue to hold in the reset button and remove the power cable from the VSS for 10 seconds
  • Keep the reset button held in and plug the power cable back into the VSS
  • Wait for the LEDs to flash once from top LED to bottom LED in sequence
  • You can now release the reset button

 

Thanks, 

 

Amanda

I notice you're using a BT HomeHub.

 

Please ensure that the Smart setup is switched off on the BT HomeHub router settings if applicable and the following ports are opened:

 

Ports to be opened for forwarding

  • 8 (TCP & UDP)
  • 50 (TCP & UDP)
  • 53  (TCP & UDP)
  • 67 (UDP)
  • 68 (UDP) 
  • 123 (UDP)
  • 500 (UDP)
  • 1723 (TCP & UDP)
  • 4500 (UDP)
  • 33434 - 33445 (UDP)

 

IP addresses to be allowed on the router & firewall

  • 183.133.177-179
  • 183.133.181-182
  • 183.131.128-191

I can see it's registered successfully, so once the above steps have been followed please perform a reset:

 

  • Unplug the ethernet cable from the Sure Signal
  • Locate the button on the base of the box next to the Ethernet ports
  • Press and hold the button for approximately 30 seconds
  • Once the lights come back on, release the button
  • Plug the cable back in
  • Allow around one hour for the Sure Signal to come back online.
