Hello,
We've had our Sure Signal 1 box for about 3 years now and it's always worked fine. The last couple of weeks we had a fault with our BT phone line, though the broadband continued to work as did the Sure Signal box. On the day before Christmas Eve the upload speed dropped to 0.11 and so the Sure Signal stopped working, however BT fixed the line the next day and our broadband speed is back up to a steady 6 mbs and upload to around 0.36 - 0.38, which is better than it was before the problem occured. However, despite numerous resets over the last couple of days, following advice on here, it still won't work. There's a steady green light on the back of the unit and the orange light is blinking sporadically. On the front only the first green light indicating power is steady on. When I do the reset the second light blinks green, but eventually goes out.
The serial number is 21230492437
ISP is BT using a BT Home Hub 4 (been using since January 2014 - no prior connectivity problems)
Broadband speed 6.23 Mbps
Upload 0.38
Ping 33
I have taken a look at the Home Hub and the Sure Signal box appears with an IP address of 192.168.1.65 Following the reset it states its Connected, but once it's given up trying is disappears from the Home Network screen.
We have all the usual household devices, computer, laptop, Xbox, iPads, iPhones etc. All connecting to the internet with no problems.
Maybe the box has died?!
Thanks in anticipation!!
Solved! Go to best answer.

How interesting. My SSV! suddenly stopped working after 3 years and I was told by the "support team" that is was defunct and I should buy a new one. So I bought a V3 and this was the cause of all my other posts as it was impossible to connect it without rebuilding my router etc. etc. I have returend it and got a full refund but have now had no mobile signal this year yet. Now it would appear there may not be anything wrong with my V1 after all....but how do I get it to work? I, too, tried the link and got

Not much chance of finding out what it's all about though.....you never get the same so-called " technical expert" twice....and having posted once or twice, they just disappear anyway. On another thread I was asked for a mass of data about Broadband, traceroutes etc.....all of which I supplied...response.....zero. When I complained , an administrator told me not to be impatient, it can take up to 48 hours for the 'techie' to get back to me...that was 6 days ago............. What an amazing shambles this site is !!

Hi @jhopkins & @MartinBar,
@jhopkins - Please try a new 12v 1.5amp power supply unit with your Sure Signal. This should help resolve the issue.
@MartinBar - I've seen your other post and can see your issue is now resolved. I apologise that you weren't given the information regarding a replacement power unit. It's something that is becoming more prominent with older versions of the Sure Signal.
Thanks,
Matt

Further confirmation of the power supply issue. Cutting a very long story short, swapping the power supply to my SureSignal V1 fixed the non-connection problems, even though the old one appeared to be working, .i.e. power light on, etc.
