Sure Signal 3 not connecting

westieuk1969

2: Seeker

My sure signal 3 has not been working since friday 11th december, I end up with 1 red blinking light and 2 solid amber lights, I have completed numerouse resets, register and de-register, followed all in structions that i have been given, still nothing.

I have been in touch with my internet supplier, but being as the tracert clears their network there is nothing they can do.

Then looking throught these threads i notice that all the trace routes time out after the same ip address, I did a search and it is a vodaphone ip, so it looks like the problem is with vodafone.

looks like i will be canceling my contract as i have no service at home, and being disabled I can only leave the house with my carer and I relied heavily on my mobile as i had to switch the landline off because of too many dead or sales calls.

If we all start to cancel our service then maybe vodafone will wake up and do a real investigation into this issuse.

Hi

 

Im sorry to hear your having issues with your Sure Signal. 

 

If you complete the trace and post it the Tech Teams maybe able to help. 

 

You can cancel your contract if you wish however if your not at the end of your contract then their will be a termination fee from Vodafone. 

 

I understand how frustrating this must be for you. 

 

Please take a look through these Sure Signal Trouble Shooting threads :

as these may help to resolve issues. They have links to the key things you can do to try and self resolve the issue you are experiencing.

Customer service support-> Call 03333 040 191 then take option 2 three times and finally option 5 – straight to the Sure Signal team.

The light sequence you’re seeing usually means that the Sure Signal is unable to establish NTP synchronisation (Network time protocol).

 

This is normally due to poor ISP performance, but on this occasion, you’ve already checked this and it looks not to be the case.

 

Have you made sure all of the necessary ports are open on your router? If not, follow the instructions below.

 

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 port numbers and IP addresses 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.

 

Ports and Protocols:

8 – TCP/UDP                 (All routers)

50 – TCP/UDP               (All routers)

53 – TCP/UDP               (Virgin Super Hubs)

67 – UDP                      (Virgin Super Hubs)                                                    

68 – UDP                      (Virgin Super Hubs)                                        

123 – UDP                    (All routers)     

500 – UDP                    (All routers)     

1723 – TCP/UDP           (BT Home Hubs)          

4500 – UDP                   (All routers)     

33434 – 33445 – UDP    (Virgin Super Hubs)

 

Destination IP Addresses:

Have i missed anything?
