SureSignal won't work.

Growltiger
4: Newbie

I had a problem that lasted two years with my Vodafone PAYG account. Here is the link:

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Pay-as-you-go-services/Technical-problem-on-my-account-I-am-in-despai...

As part of your attempts to solve that problem, some of my records were cleared by Vodafone. I now discovered that my SureSignal isn't working. On checking the account online, I found I no longer had a SureSignal registered! I registered it again two days ago, and added a second phone, and that all worked as it should in the system.

 

But it doesn't work, the phones don't see it and only the top light is on. . So I looked at the trobleshooting guide. I have the first model, version 1, the white box with a black base. The symptom is that only the top light is on, and it is continuous.

 

I then followed the guide. I checked the cable and the lights by the cable. I rebooted the router - a BT Home Hub. I rebooted the SureSignal. I checked the DHCP was working correctly and it is, after the reboot it assigned 192.168.1.64 to its MAC address. I have a superb internet connection, about 10Mb connection speed. It never goes wrong. (Standard BT contract).

 

The reset procedure described does not work:

 

Perform a reset of the Sure Signal:

-Hold in the reset button until all lights go solid

-Pull the power lead out with the reset button still pushed in

-Continue to hold down the reset button and reconnect the power lead

-Wait for all lights to come on and then release the reset button

 

Holding in the reset button even for a long time makes no difference to the lights at all.

 

Sometimes the box starts flashing different lights, in a sequence like this:

123

2

13

and sometimes other complex sequences including 4.

Then it goes back to just the first light again, steady.

 

I also double checked the serial number I entered online. It is:

21230680940

 

It is now nearly two days since I set it up and it still doesn't work, so I have run out of ideas.

 

Is it possible that it is still associated in your system with my previous registration, on the same account, which you deleted? If so I don't see how it can be made to work without your help.

Wonderful news!

The new one is working.

And I have now been able to add another user.

In a few weeks it will move to where it is normally used, so I have to hope that it works there too, but it seems likely that it will.

 

So we can conclude that the old V1 was faulty. No amount of technical help could make it function properly.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi robravilious,

 

Please ensure the following ports are open on your new router:

 

Destination IP Addresses:

  • 212.183.133.177
  • 212.183.133.178
  • 212.183.133.179
  • 212.183.133.181
  • 212.183.133.182
  • 212.183.131.128/26


Ports and Protocols:

  • 8 – TCP/UDP                 (All routers)
  • 50 – TCP/UDP               (All routers)
  • 53 – TCP/UDP               (Virgin Super Hubs)
  • 67 – UDP                      (Virgin Super Hubs)                                                    
  • 68 – UDP                      (Virgin Super Hubs)

Please note that in the above list of IP addresses, the notation "212.183.131.128/26" means the complete range of IP addresses between 212.183.131.128 and 212.183.131.191.

 

Thanks,

Could you let me know how to do this?

 

Thanks,
