Old VSS1 stopped working new VSS3 not working either. Looking for some knowledgeable help.

MartinBaines67
4: Newbie

I had a history of my old VSS1 sometime not working and requiring a hard reset to make work. Then this week it just ceased working completely and after a long saga with telephone support - who basically just took me through steps I had done before many times - I got sent a new VSS3 (i.e. the one with the pass through power connector).

 

I registered this on the admin page and got a text and email telling me it was registered correctly. The new device does not appear to be working either which makes me strongly suspect netowrk issues. After a reset the device spends a long time (about an hour) with the Red power light solid and the "internet" light fllashing white. Eventually this stops and it ends in a mode with the lights thus:

 

Red Power - Flashing

Orange Internet - Solid

Service- OFF

Orange User - Solid

 

The Sure signal Serial Number is: 40123308740

Its MAC address is: 0c:4c:39:07:a7:53

 

My ISP is BT.

My External IP address is: 86.132.92.144   (as given by http://www.whatsmyip.net/ and also validated by checking router)

 

A Speedcheck gives:

Download speed: 2.45Mb/s

Upload Speed: 0.361 Mb/s

 

I have opened up all the ports as requestest for TCP and UDP viz: 50, 500, 4500, 8, 123, 1723

 

The VSS has been assigned a constant IP address by DHCP and I can ping the device on the local network.

From the router log I can see the VSS trying to get to various addresses on the ports above. Here is a snip of the activity:

I really hope someone here can help as telephone support is driving me mad as I only seem to get a person who actually knows what an IP Address is about 1 time in 5 let alone how a femtocell works!

 

Thanks

Is yours still working?

 

I am on a BT HH3 - and mine stoppped working a couple of weeks ago, up until then it had been tempramental.

 

Do Vodafone accept all incoming IP's or are there ranges that you block?

I really wonder if it stopped working when my external IP changed as I dont have a fixed one.

 

Is there any way to see logs on a HH3?

 

 

Hi cinimodee, 

 

I can see you've replied to your other post here to let us know it's working. 

 

Let us know if there is anything else we can help with.
