SureSignal v2 - 2 lights constantly flashing

Hello,

I'm suffering from the problem where my Suresignal v2 has 2 lights flashing constantly (the one which looks like a signal strength meter and the other which has a mobile picture), power light is always on.

 

The problem which I suffered from originally was that the Suresignal looked ok (power light on, signal light on, mobile light off) however when making a call on my mobile, it was as if it wasn't connected to the Suresignal as call quality was poor and also breaking up.  Intermittently both lights would flash, this was usually resolved by a Suresignal and/or router restart.

 

I called yourselves and I was informed that the Suresignal was de-registered, the technician registered the device and we also went through the reset process (hold in reset button for 30 seconds, remove power then plug power back in).  Once this process was undertaken, the lights continued to flash, they never went static (apart from the power).

 

I contacted Vodafone again using on-line chat and again I beleive the device was re-registered but again the lights continue to flash.

 

In desparation I called again and spoke to an analyst who went through some basic troubleshooting steps and this time we replaced the ethernet cable, this made no difference.  I also set up port forwarding on the router in case this was an issue but this has made no difference.

 

The Suresignal has been left for days in the hope that it would spring to life but it never has.

 

Can you help at all?  I have performed the various tests required and the results are here:

Hi nige 1975,

Despite the fact that your power light is stable, you could possibly have a degraded power supply lead. But at this stage I couldn't be sure enough to say replace it.

If you have a 12V power unit that you borrow with at least a 1A capacity with the correct 5.5mm plug it would be a good way to confirm it.

The typical uses for such a unit are mains powered external drives, printers, monitor power units etc.etc.

 

Regards,

Mike.
