SS1 Still not working

marti
4: Newbie
My SS1 went down last week, I assume as part of the outage. So far it is still not working. I have rebooted it a number of times, rebooted my router, and changed the location of the SS on the manage page of the website - is there anything thst can now be done to get it up and running again? Last time it went down the only advice I was given by calling 191 was to buy a new one! Serial number is 21222164879

marti,

 

Having been round the houses like you,

 

Have you got a 12v 1.5a or 12v 2a power supply hanging around?

 

Seems from other posts on this site it is not uncommon for the power supplies do go out.

They have enough amp output to purely establish a connection as your tracert shows, but not enough to power 3G.

On the advice of Matt_B I changed mine and was up and running in 15 mins.

Good as gold since!

 

If you have one, try it.

 

Best of luck.

I am having same issue. Vodafone blaming BT and BT saying it's nothing to do with them, but they could help if I sign up to their TechExpert service at 10pounds a month 😞

 

THe box worked perfectly up until couple of weeks ago. Won't connect now, despite all ports etc opened.

Hi folks,

@hbs187 and @marti - Once you've posted your results here, my team can take a closer look.

@bazza987 - Thanks for posting your results. Everything looks fine with the speeds and IP. 21229759804 is also on the latest firmware but it's been going through an activation cycle since 11am which can take a few hours.

 

If resetting the phones doesn't bring the service back, please let me know which lights you see on the device. If I could have the other serial number too, we'll have a look at that one as well. :Winking_smiley:

Cheers,

Ben

Thanks Ben_H.

 

You say resetting the phones? Do you mean the suresignal or do I just leave it to run its course?

 

Light 1 only at present. Have watched it for 15 mins in case it was cycling but it is not.

 

Other units no 21227740020. Not on at present. This is the one we were regularily using.

 

Unit you have tracert for is my sons (had very little use from new)

 

Cheers

Barry

SS, Router and phones have been rebooted numerous times.  SS seems to be going through a never ending cycle of trying to connect - was fine before the outage!

Hi bazza987 and marti,

 

@bazza987 - You'll need to login to your router and turn on port clamping. Please speak to your ISP for instructions on how to do this.

 

@marti - I can see you're using Virgin Media. Please login to the router settings and ensure that the IPSEC box is switched on. You can get instructions from Virgin Media on how to do this.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt B
