I have just upgrade from a V2 to a V3.
Plugged in the V3 and DHCP on my Asus DSL-N55U picked it up and tried to assign it an IP address however the VSS would appears not to be accepting it, DHCP is logging that its constantly trying to give it an IP.
I then manually assigned the IP to the MAC address and the errors stopped however I am still getting
Flashing Power Light and Solid Amber In Use Light.
I have NAT open and UPNP enabled.
I have manually configured the port forwarding.
I have waited 48 hours now and still the same issue.
It is registered correctly on MyAccount.
I have tried to perform a factory reset however it does not do anything when I hold the reset button down for more than 30 seconds.
The device is registered to the showhome postcode as we are on a new development and our postcode is not being accepted.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
Solved! Go to best answer.

Right,
Update:
I have performed a router reboot while the SS was off after a hard reset.
I have changed the cable from the issued white cable to a Cat 6 cable.
I then turned on the SS and now its showing some different lights.
I would suggest you upgrade the quality of the ethernet cables you send out!!!!!

By location you mean a different house? This may be a problem as I can't get it to another house till the weekend and we would like signal before then.
Please can you force a re-sync and confirm if it has even connected your end?
I am also unable to perform a hard reset.
I shall take it to my parents on the weekend.
