The issue you’re experiencing: Sure signal V1 unable to connect – I have tried all the usual fixes - reboots of sure signal, broadband router, and registering it. I have been without a phone signal now for over 24 hours.
I spoke to the online chat team and they performed a resync yesterday but nothing has made any difference.
I had no problems before yesterday morning
What light sequence you're seeing: I have a variety of flashing lights but it generally settles to the top light on and the second light flashing, with the data light at the back of the box flashing at irregular intervals
Currently have the top 2 lights solid

Hello @linnit
It may also be worth trying a different power supply with the SureSignal (Version 1 & 2 ), as there have been some reports of replacement power supplies solving the issues. They are available on eBay for around £10.
From member cineriv "But firstly, have a look around for a suitable unit with a 12 Volt output @ around 1.5Amp capacity that you could 'borrow' to prove the fault. Suitable units can be found on external hard drives, monitors, printers, routers etc.etc."

Thanks but I have a feeling it might be something to do with some BT updates which also caused my sky box to lose contact for a while

You're Welcome.
There has been some recent threads on the Bt Home Hub and Sure Signal Device, with some customers having hiccups.
Using the Search function on the eforum should bring them up and perhaps supply some further help and guidance.

Same problem.
V1 failing to connect since about Friday (8th Jan) afternoon.
Mostly solid 1st light, sometimes solid second light too. Very occassionally flashing 3rd light. Then cycles again.
Last time this happened, I recall that something had gone wrong in a downstream data centre, and it took a week for it to get fixed. Lots of SS users experienced problems.

further to my post above, just checked, and I can't ping any of these
other than ..182, oddly enough.
Is this a problem on the internet, or at the Vodafone end?

I sooke to the technical department yesterday after being put through from the online chat help. They can see my booster on the network and pushed through updates and settings. This should have sorted out the problem but hasn't - I'm coming to the conclusion that my 6 year old sure signal has probably come to the end of its life

@linnit – Your Sure Signal made contact with the network at 3.24am today.
If it’s still not working, please test it at a different location to rule out a faulty device.
