Morning,

 

My VSS box is showing the correct lights but i have had no 3G signal for the last 3 days.  I have tried the hard resets and other resets from the forum but still not working.  

 

Could you please have a look and maybe push a resync please?

 

Serial No 21196985663

 

Thanks

Well well well - mine also seems to be working again and I now have 3g via my SureSignal

 

Strange ? Oh well - things can only get better ...... here's to a good strong signal in a poor reception area ( hint hint Vodafone ) ... TY

Hi WayneA,

 

Everything in those checks looks fine.

 

I've checked and your Sure Signal shows a connection to the system yesterday since your last post. Can you confirm if it's working now? I don't want to fiddle about if everything's back to normal.

 

Dave

Strange but I have had the same problem for the last 3 days - wonder why?

 

Still no 3g - despite numerous resets and deregistrations, and a call to Customer Services.

 

Trying again at the moment !

 

Hi Dave,

 

@13:05 i have zero 3G signal it was fluctuating yesterday from full 4 bars to 0 so i do still have an issue im afraid.

 

Cheers

Wayne

WayneA - Your box is showing a location change which may be what is causing the issue. I've changed your postcode to ours and then back to yours which has now gone through correctly. I've also done a resync so please reset your Sure Signal again. 

Let me know how you get on, 

 

Kay

Afternoon Kay,

 

I seem to have the same issue again, can you please do the location check for me to see if this is the same issue please?

 

Thanks

Hi Wayne,

 

Your Sure Signal connected to our servers yesterday at 20:20 and there’ve been no location changes either.

 

To make sure it’s as up to date as possible, I’ve just resynced it for you.

 

So that the resync completes, can you do a factory reset for me:-

 

  • Hold down the reset button until all the lights show/flash (about 30 seconds)
  • Keeping the reset button held down, remove then re-insert the power lead
  • Once all the lights display, release the reset button
  • The Sure Signal will come online in about an hour

 

Let me know how you go on.

 

Cheers,

 

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

I tried the reset last night and still not working this morning im afraid, have you got anything else i could check/do?

 

Cheers

Wayne
