APPLE EXTREME ROUTER---'' Port Forwarding'' on the router

CAFOULK

I have just registered and installed a Vodafone Sure signal (3 ). However, it doesn't seem to  connect to the internet., as hoped, through my existing Apple Extreme Router.. Is there a problem of compatiblity between the Sure Signal and the Apple router ?   How is the problem over come ?

 Do I need to confirgure PORT FORWARDING ? .  I have given the Sure Signal a fixed IP address..   What would be the other settings needed in order to allow the Sure Signal  to link with Vodafone via the Apple Extreme Router ?

The results of the information requested are below. .  The Suresignal is still not working ..   After 48hours, the red light simply flashes. The outer two other lights are fixed orange. The centre light is unlit ..
