SureSignal not working

mattas

Hello -

 

Please can you help ?

 

My SureSignal v2 has not been working for awhile, there is only a steady power light on it. It did used to work ok, not sure exactly when it stopped working (maybe months ago). I've tried rebooting/resetting the unit but it doesn't fix the problem - it cycles through flashing both white LED then just the left one, then it goes back to a steady power light only before repeating the cycle.

I've got a BT HomeHub 3 (BT Infinity)

S/N of my Sure Signal is 41113720712

I've followed all the troubleshooting steps from the "Steady power light only" post but nothing helped.

Welcome to the eForum mattas,

 

Many thanks for posting your details ready. I've checked through them and all looks healthy for your traceroute, speed test and IP details. :Smiling:

 

The unit is connecting to our servers this end but I'm pushing a manual synchronisation out for you to make sure your Sure Signal is up to date.

 

To complete the process can you:

 

  • 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.
  • The Sure Signal will come online in around 1 hour.

If you're still seeing issues after an hour or so, or you test another Ethernet cable so we can rule out faulty equipment? 

Cheers, Ben

Hi agt1,

Which operating system is your computer or laptop on? I'll see if there's an alternative command available. :Smiling:

External IP on the above post results should have read as 90.203.85.56.

Hi @jrrl150273,

 

Your Sure Signal's firmware is outdated. As such, I've requested for it to be updated to the latest version.

 

Please reset your Sure Signal in 24 hours time to complete this process. Ensure you leave it switched on and do not reset it before this time.

 

You can reset it by following the instructions below:

 

  • Hold down the reset button until all the lights show/flash (about 30 seconds)
  • Keeping the reset button held down, remove then re-insert the power lead
  • Once all the lights display, release the reset button
  • The Sure Signal will come online in about an hour

Thanks,

Matt B

 

 

my sure signal lights are all out. can i get it fixed?  this is the second one I have had. may have been lightening but didnt think so this time. last time bt hub also taken out with lightening. bt replaced foc, bought new sure signal and gave shop one not working, but surely it can be recycled?

 

Hi @Johanadamson,

 

If you're using a Sure Signal version 1 or 2, please try using an alternative 12v 1.5amp power adapter.

 

If it's a Sure Signal 3 that you've got, you can arrange a repair if it's less than 2 years old.

 

Thanks,

Matt B

Please help! 

 

We have got a sure signal (version 2) and we have not been able to get it to work since we got it. 

 

The red light is on but that is the only light. All 3 handsets are 3g and compatible with the sure signal. I have done the set up and it has sent the texts saying it is ready to use! But still nothing :Sad_face: 

 

Please tell me what infomation you would like and I will retrieve it for you 

 

Really hoping this is fixable 

 

Kristine 

Have just seen you will require serial number, 40110538036

 

I have also done the 30 second reset
