Sure Signal not working

Hello

 

My Sure Signsl V1 stopped working last weekend for no apparent reason.  It had just button 1 on.  It had been working perfectly fine up until then.

 

I have tried several factory resets - it appears to be going through the correct setup sequence - various lights flashing on and off - but never finishes, even after leaving for 48 hours.

 

I have tried rebooting my router several times.

 

Last night, I deregistered and reregistered the Sure Signal.  This morning, it still appears to be going through the startup sequence.

 

Internet speed is: download 5.5 Mbps, upload 0.38 Mbps

 

Please can you advise?  S/N is 21223154747

Hi,

I 'm fairly sure that you need to replace your power supply.

Your symptoms are typical of lack of power.

 

Replacement power supplies are readily available from Amazon or Ebay and cost around £10 or less.

Just search for "Sure Signal power supplies"

 

Further info on the symptoms can be found here :......

Hi chris,

If it's V1 Sure Signal, I would strongly recommend replacing the power supply whether you have a problem or not.... The amount of power supplies that have failed over the last year or so is quite amazing and they are only the ones that I'm aware of. 

It could be your problem, but sounds more like a connection issue, so please try Laura's suggestions as well,  but difficult to tell without trying a replacement, and for a sake of a tenner or so, it's worth a try. 

I think it won't be long before we have the same problems with the V2, but as with V1, the power supply can be easily replaced by the user unlike the V3!

 

Good luck,

Mike.

 

Thanks so much for your reply Mike.  I will change the power supply first (it is a V1 version) and if still no luck then I will try Laura's suggestions.

Thanks again for taking the time.

Chris

@HDGardner Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. 

 

I've checked your Vodafone Sure Signal and can see it's recently made contact with our server (01 November 2016).

Please let us know if you're still having trouble.

 

 

Hi Rahim,


It came on yeah. It must have just taken a while to call home.

 

Thanks
