Hi guitarbloke,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I’ve checked the IP address and everything is fine.
I’ve taken a look back through your posts and can see that the speed test is a little low.
In order for the Sure Signal to work you do need a minimum upload speed of 0.3Mbs.
Can you do another speed test and if it’s below 0.3Mbs, you will need to have a word with your internet provider to look at increasing this.

Hi guitarbloke,
This is a puzzler - your Sure Signal has never made contact with our servers which is why the power light is flashing - it means it hasn't downloaded a profile yet.
Can you try the following:
Reboot your router/modem.
-Turn off your router or modem at the wall for 10 seconds and then turn it back on
-Wait for the lights on your modem/router to indicate that an internet connection has been established
-Press the reset button on the Sure Signal
Check that your Sure Signal has been assigned an internal IP address by your router.
The Sure Signal must be assigned an internal IP address by your router. If your router supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), this must be enabled as doing so will enable the router to assign an IP address to your Sure Signal automatically.
For more instructions on how to do this, please check your router manual or contact your ISP or router manufacturer.
If your router or network configuration doesn’t allow DHCP, you’ll need to assign a static IP address to your Sure Signal's MAC Address by using your router's configuration panel. Please contact your ISP or router manufacturer for instructions on how to do this. The MAC address can be found on the sticker at the back of the Sure Signal.
Manually configure your router to allow port-forwarding.
In most cases, routers support a system called Universal Plug-n-Play (UPnP), which sets up port-forwarding for you automatically. If you’ve got a complicated network setup, or a complex router, you may need to enter these settings manually.
Please see the following for a list of IP addresses and port numbers that need to be forwarded to your Sure Signal's internal IP address. For instructions on how to do this, we recommend you contact your ISP or Router Manufacturer, or refer to the default guide for your particular make and model, over at http://portforward.com.
Destination IP Addresses:
212.183.133.177
212.183.133.178
212.183.133.179
212.183.133.181
212.183.133.182
212.183.131.128/26
Ports and Protocols:
Port 50 - TCP/IP
Port 4500 - UDP
Port 500 - UDP
Port 123 - UDP
Port 8 - TCP/IP
Port 1723 (BT customers only) - TCP/UDP
Please note that in the above list of IP addresses, the notation "212.183.131.128/26" means the complete range of IP addresses between 212.183.131.128 and 212.183.131.191.
Your router also needs to assign the Sure Signal with a DNS (Domain Name Server) address via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
BT Infinity Customers.
If you’re a BT Infinity customer, you’ll need to log into your router admin page and select port clamping.
Once this has been selected please restart your router and Sure Signal.
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:
- 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.
The Sure Signal will now try to contact the network and download its profile. This can take up to 6 hours.
If this doesn't work can you plug the unit into a different broadband connection to see if it works there?
Thanks
Paul
