SureSignal V1 failing to connect since yesterday

Since sometime yesterday my V1 box is failing to connect and stuck in an apparent never ending connection loop. I get light 2 light solid, and light four flashes (presumably whilst the VPN connection handshakes), but never goes solid. Light 2 then drops out, flashes again before going solid and I get the flashing light 4 again. And the loop continues....

 

Apart from the odd issue here and there the V1 has mostly been fine until some point yesterday. I've tried a factory reset, and I've also tried via an alternative broadband connection (Infinity with a HH5) but this makes no difference. I'm connected to Virgin broadband via a Netgear R7000/Nighthawk.

 

To save some time here are the diagnosticsin advance:

 

S/N: 21221761543

 

Downstream: 157.26Mbps

Upstream: 11.97Mbps

 

Ping: 22ms

Jitter: 3ms

Packet loss: Unavailable due to the requirement to install Java which I don't intend on doing. Happy to produce results via an alternative means. I'm pretty confident there is no packet loss however - particularly given I have the same issue with two broadband providers.

So both Tracerts pretty identical and hit the Vodafone network at 85.205.0.86.

 

Is there a network issue here or has my SureSignal died?

Would you believe as I posted this I've now got solid lights 1, 2 AND 4. So it now seems to be working again which would must suggest an issue on Vodafone's end.

Will keep an eye on things though.

Has there been any known outages?

Hi garethr,

 

We’ve sent through and update on the software.

 

Please leave the Sure Signal plugged in and turned on for 24 hours.

 

After this time, please do a hard re set on all connected devices this should start working for you.

 

Cheers,

 

Laura

Thanks Laura. I'll keep an eye on it to see it all is well over the next 24 hours and report back.

Hi garethr,

 

Brilliant :smileyhappy:

 

Keep us updated.

 

Cheers,

 

Laura

Hi,

 

After working pretty reliably since the the firmware update, my SureSignal is now dead again - same light sequence as before. Has been down most of Sunday - not sure about Saturday as I wasn't around. I've tried a reset of the SureSignal and that hasn't helped.

Is there any update here please - my SureSignal remains down...

Just to add, I've also tried a different ethernet cable and an alternative power supply neither of which have made any difference.

Can someone please take a look into this issue. This is really frustrating when you rely on the SureSignal for any mobile reception at home.

I guess my posts are falling on deaf ears then? Can someone from the eForum team please take a look.
