Hi nholbeche,
There's a few things we need to check before we can get this raised further for you.
Firstly, check that the following ports are still open for forwarding on the router. A change by Plusnet or an update to the router may have affected these.
- 8
- 50
- 123
- 500
- 1723
- 4500
Also, you need to make sure the following IP ranges are allowed on the router and firewall:
212.183.133.177-179
212.183.133.181-182
212.183.131.128-191

Hi nholbeche,
I’ve had a look at the chat and we don’t allocate static IP addresses for the Sure Signal.
All IP addresses are allocated to the Sure Signal by the router.
When you log into your router admin panel, is there an option for UPnP (universal plug and play)?
You can see how to set up the port forwarding for your router using the guides here.
Thanks,
Gemma

Hi nholbeche,
Please try a different Ethernet cable to see if this helps.
Also, please check your MTU settings:
Log into your router admin page and find the location of the MTU field. This varies depending on the make and model so you’ll need to look for it.
Change the value of the MTU size to 1500.
Log out of the router, this will usually result in a reboot.
Perform a reset of the Sure Signal:
-Hold in the reset button until all lights go solid
-Pull the power lead out with the reset button still pushed in
-Continue to hold down the reset button and reconnect the power lead
-Wait for all lights to come on and then release the reset button
The Sure Signal will now try to contact the network and download its profile. This can take up to 6 hours.
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks,
Jenny
