I got a new Iphone in the hosue and it wouldn't connect to the suresignal. I reset the device as suggested on the forum, the power light is on but the two lights on sure signal have been flashing for about a week now, and no mobiles can connect.

 

Any help much appreciated

Got a new IPhone and needed a different sim but retained the phone number. Iphone hasn't connected since the sim swap. Also have Samsung phone with original sim and that was working fine before the reset ladt week. Now Samsung won't connect probably due to the flashing lights / SS not registering. ..

Also removed the number from the Sure Signal list in my online account dashboard then re-entered it before doing the reset

I asked about the sim swap Because it's.....

 

Recommended to de register the number for 24 hours after a Sim Swap.

 

Then Re Register after that timeframe. 

Current Phone  >

Samsung Galaxy s²³ Ultra 512gb Phantom Black.

 

 

Ah! The SIM swap was a few months ago, but the missus only mentionned that she had no signal in the house a week or so ago. My Samsung was working fine before I reset the SS, however neither phone will connect. It appears that the SS box will not initiate. Is there a way to get the SS box reset by Vodafone? Is there a number i can call to ask for this?

The Vodafone Tech Team here read all posts and can register sync Sure Signals if required. 

 

Give them a little time to respond.

Afternoon All,
Looking for any help please...

Long story, but suffice to say I have just replaced my old dead SSv3 (See Burn out thread), with a newly purchased SSv3 unit on Sat 19/11.

I rang Vodafone "Customer care" on Saturday lunchtime to get the new unit registered, and recived a text message back a few minutes later saying it was registered 14:06 on 19/11.

I've connected the new unit back up to the same router, but after almost 24hrs I still have the solid power light and a flashing internet light.

I spoke to "Customer care" again today, who put me through to "Sure Signal technical support" and they said that as I was less than 1.5Mbps download there was nothing they could do to help and that as it wasn't connected to my router - which it is as I can see the IP address on the router.
We all know that this is NOT correct, just by sheer volume of other people using at lower speed.

Diagnostics Information
Sure Signal V3

Family Name: Alcatel-Lucent 9361 Home Cell p3.0 (Same as the old unit which did work!!)

Router: Netgear Night Hawk AC1900 D7000
No routing / port forwarding was previously set-up and the old unit worked, so not changed. uPnP is turned on, on router.

I can see that the SSv3 box has an IP address from my router admin software, and have made this static.

Registration: Vodafone Customer care registered this new unit against my account / address.
Other troubleshooting information:

I've checked that the port and network cable on my router which the SSv3 is connected to is ok, as I've checked it with my laptop.

@Donners90 I've now resynced your Vodafone Sure Signal. Please allow 6 hours to pass before resetting the device.

 

If you continue to have problems after resetting the device, you may need to deregister the numbers and register them again. As we'd need access to the account to do this, please contact us on Live Chat. Let us know if you have any further problems and we'll be happy to help.

 

@Simon_Kr As it seems that your Sure Signal is struggling to obtain an internet connection, I'd advise ensuring that your port forwarding is set up for your router. Please contact your ISP (internet service provider) to make sure your ports are enabled.
