Hi I do hope someone could help me please.

I am in TN32 and currently there is a problem with the local Vodafone mast and has been like this for 2 months - so I phoned Vodafone with the intention of moving to a different provider because I need my phone for work. The customer service person said I could have a sure signal device and it would work on my home network, which for three days it was perfect (happy days), then on the morning of the forth day no service on mine or my wife's iphones!
Power light solid red, Internet light solid white, service light solid white, in use light off.
S/N 42141613333

since then I have been trying all sorts.
Reset the device, removed numbers, changed owner, changed postcode and back again.
Put the VSS in the DMZ - stopped the firewall on the BT Home HUB 3, forwarded and opened the appropriate ports.
please see trace route and patchping

Hi Steve,

 

Everything is fine with your ping test and traceroute.

 

Your Sure Signal connected to our servers on 7 July.

 

The light sequence you’re seeing shows the Sure Signal is ready to take a call.

 

Check to make sure the following ports are open/forwarded on your router:

 

Port Number

 

8          TCP      UDP

50         TCP      UDP

53         TCP      UDP

67                     UDP

68                     UDP

123                   UDP

500                   UDP

1723     TCP      UDP

4500                 UDP

33434 - 33445    UDP

 

If they are, you may be affected by the issue mentioned here.

 

To confirm this, try the Sure Signal in a different location using a different ISP.

 

If you contact BT, you may be able to arrange a replacement Home Hub to be sent out to you.

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

Hi Andy, I shouldn't need to open/forward any ports if the Sure Signal is in the DMZ, the device was working perfectly for 3 days - How can we test the 3G wireless part of the SS3? as this would be the first thing I would test knowing that the route to your servers are fine?

Hi sjwtcil,

 

It's not possible to test the wireless part.

 

We need you to check the Sure Signal at another location with a different ISP.

 

If it's not working, then the Sure Signal has a fault and will need to be repaired.

 

Thanks.

Hi Ian

 

I am at another location with the sure signal, I get solid Red light, solid white internet and solid white service - but no in use light(4) when using my phone.

 

I think it is not working - who do i need to contact to get it replaced?

Hi sjwtcil,

 

Thanks for trying that for me.

 

The next step is for you to arrange a repair.
