Sure Signal V2 power light only

lin15

Can you please tell me whether there are any known issues at the moment with Sure Signal V2 boxes interfacing with PlusNet Thomson routers?  My box has had a steady power light on and despite several resets nothing changes (i.e. it doesn't flash at  all)  In the past when I have had this issue it was a fault which Vodafone rectified.  Please advise.  Thanks

I have a similar problem (power light only, despite several resets), but I understand my ISP has changed (wimax service in countyside), so perhaps the ISP is not yet whitelisted ?  Can you check things on your end please ? I have gone through all other steps in troubleshooting page and think the change in network provider must be the reason for the SS suddenly stopping.

 

My details are:

 

serial number 40123221315

 

ISP 91.185.183.66

Thank you for your help.

I can see that there was a location change, so I’ve updated this for you.

 

This can take up to 24 hours but it’s usually not that long.

 

Please perform a reset after the 24 hour period:

 

  • 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.

Sure Signal doesn’t work with satellite broadband, WiMax, bonded lines, or secure firewalls.

It's worked fine for three years on the setup - all that changed is the provider (backbone ?)!moved from being cable and wireless to Highnet Ltd and so there is a new IP address the Ss has to navigate around. Do you mind checking the traceroute I sent in ny above post and seeing if my ISP is on the whitelist ? It stopped working the day our service was switched from C&W to Highnet and I don't believe in coincidences. I had to go through this same processs in 2012. Thank you.

@kinmuckreid

 

As stated on our website, the Sure Signal is not compatable with WiMax.

 

I've checked your ISP and it wasn't on the whitelist.

 

I've requested it too be added and this can be between 3 to 5 working days.

Beau. There has definitely been no location change. One thing that did occur was a power outage last Wednesday. It has now been 24 hours since you reset at your end and having performed the reset you mentioned at my end the device is still not working. Please tell me the next step as I am frustrated that I have been unable to use my phone at home for a week now. Thank you
