Does this indicate an ISP issue?

 

Thanks

Hi ACBealing,

 

This is a slight shot in the dark, but you could try replacing your power supply.

 

Most V1 power supplies are degrading now due to age and should be replaced.

When they degrade, they cause unusually odd symptoms on the Sure Signal, one of the symptoms is similar to your problem.

Please ignore the fact that the power light is showing as ok, that is a red herring.

 

If you require a power supply, they are readily available on Amazon or Ebay and cost around £10 inc.delivery.

 

Good luck,

Mike.

Thanks Mike, I'll try that.

The new power supply unit arrived tonight and the Suresignal connected within a few minutes.

 

Thanks for the response, which coincided with realising that it had been connecting albeit briefly so your diagnosis rang true.

Hi Andrew,

 

That's great to hear!  Thank you for letting me know. :smileyhappy:

 

Regards,

Mike.

Suresignal now reconnected, thanks to Mike for suggesting a failing power supply unit.  You may wish to note this for future such instances!

 

Please now send my unit the update mentioned previously.

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

Friend where the box now is says hes had an odd text from Vodafone saying he can now use the box. His is probably one of the registered numbers. Can you see it from your end and resend the update?
