Sure SIgnal 3 dropping calls and losing connection

After posting back in November I am still having problems with my Suresignal V3. It is working for while and then dropping out with a flashing red light and solid orange internet light with the other two lights off. If I reset the device I get the power light solid red and the internet light flashing white and it will eventually connect. However when it is connected if I make or receive a call on my mobile the call gets dropped partway through and the Sure signal drops connection and reverts to flashing power light and internet light solid organe light or flashing power light internet light off and the remaining two lights solid orange.

 

The device has a reserved IP address and has all the port forwarding settings correctly set as well as IPSec passthrough set up on the Virgin router. I have tried plugging it in 5 different locations around the house at various points on my home network including direct into the Virgin Router (so nothing inbetween it and the router) all with no success.

 

The serial number is: 40132601234

 

The results from the various tests are as follows:

 

Download: 38.25Mbps

Upload: 2.82Mbps

Ping: 26ms

Jitter: 2ms

 

External IP: 213.106.129.243

Unfortunately I have not had any consistent success with the Sure Signal device and as this was provided by my employer for my work use it is very frutsrating as I am now unable to rely on it working at all and in fact may end up having to switch to an alternative mobile network service provider to obtain a more reliable and stronger signal.

 

Hopefully you will be able to help resolve the problems though.

 

Many thanks.

Hi armadillos,

 

Your Sure Signal last connected to our servers on 13 December 2013.

 

I’ve performed a resync for you today so please complete this process by performing a factory reset as follows:

 

-Locate the button on the base of the box next to the Ethernet ports

-Press and hold the button for approximately 30 seconds

-Once the lights come back on, release the button

-The Sure Signal will come online in around 1 hour

 

Let me know how you get on.

 

Thanks,

 

Jenny
