I upgraded both of my phones on tuesday and changed the sims to nano sims, since then i have not been able to get a signal from our sure signal, i have tried everything on the forums from rebooting the sure signal, removing the numbers and adding again but it has not worked.

Hi amzeus76,

 

Your Sure Signal isn’t currently connecting to our servers from its current location.

 

Trying it in a different setting will help us to identify if the cause is related to your internet connection or current set up, or whether the device has a fault.

 

If you’re facing signal issues in your area, take a look here.

 

The reset process just forces the Sure Signal to check in against our servers and receive any updates as necessary.

 

If there’s anything that prevents the unit from connecting to our servers, the reset process can’t complete and it’ll stop working.

 

We’re unable to compensate for the lost service since the Sure Signal has stopped working.

 

There’s more information in our Sure Signal Terms and conditions.

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

Hi amzeus76,

 

Thanks for posting.

 

You'll need to deregister the Sure Signal, leave it 24 hours then register it.

 

The Help videos I've attached will guide you through the process.

 

Thanks

 

Ian

 

 

Hi i did this but now the sure signal is not working, i get 1,2,3 flash together, then 2, then 1 and 3 together. Im also having trouble with both numbers not recieving texts until hours later and calls keep failing even when we have full signal, this has happened since we switched our numbers to different sims.

I haven't touched it but now its flashing 1 and 2, 2 then 1

Hi amzeus76,

 

The light sequences you were seeing shows that the Sure Signal is going through the set up process and downloading a profile.

 

Have the lights now stopped flashing and is the Sure Signal working normally?

 

If not, make sure the following ports are open/forwarded on your router:-

 

Port Number

 

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

 

Also, make sure the connections between the Sure Signal and router are secure.

 

If this doesn’t work, we’ll need some additional information from you. Can you provide the following please:-

 

Your Sure Signal serial number.
Your speed test results from here.
Your ping test results from here.
Your external IP address from here.
The results of a traceroute.

VSS Traceroute command

On a PC:

Click on Start and select Run
Type CMD into the Run box and press enter/click ok
A black box will appear.
In this box type tracert 212.183.133.177 press Enter
Paste the output of this command into your reply.

 

Cheers,

Hi amzeus76,

 

Thanks for supplying this information.

 

We normally look at an upload speed of 0.33 as a minimum.

 

Can you supply the serial number of the Sure Signal so we check what's going on?

 

Thanks

 

Ian

serial number is 21224050886

Hi amzeus76,

 

Can I check that you've followed these steps when resetting the Sure Signal? If not, give this a go for me:

 

  • Unplug the ethernet cable from the Sure Signal
  • Hold down the reset button until all the lights show (about 30 seconds)
  • Keeping the reset button held down, remove then re-insert the power lead.
  • Once all lights display release the reset button.
  • Plug the cable back in
  • Allow around one hour for the Sure Signal to come back online.

 

I can't see what software version your Sure Signal is using. I'll get this checked and any updates pushed through.

 

Dave

I did that about 3 hours ago but im still getting 1 &2 together, 2 then 1. The sure signal was working fully before we upgraded our phones and contract.

 

Since upgrading both phones to new sims we also can't text or call even when we have a full signal, its been taking around 6 hours for texts to come through to each other and we keep getting a lot of call failing, yet again our numbers were working fine on the old sims and this only started when we moved our numbers to the new sim cards.
