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

A new sure signal box has solved my problem - plugged it in and it's been working perfectly

My ISP have given me another IP address, in an attempt to help.
This is 149.102.136.2, however my SS still doesn't work.
I still can't ping 212.183.133.181.
Used online chat with a Vodafone yesterday, and the operator gave me all the usual stuff about latency and ports, and didn't seem to understand the points about whitelisting IPs.
This IP is registered with Cogent, in the US, but clearly assigned to Quickline in Hull.
Seems to me that Vodafone's IP identification isn't checking thoroughly enough if it thinks this isn't a UK address.
Can you please make sure all the Quickline IP addresses (and definitely this one) are whitelisted?
Thanks,
Graham

As I mentioned in my last post, I would attempt to push this through, which has now been completed and the IP has been whitelisted.
However, I can now see that you’ve changed IP address into a different range, which is also an IP address which was previously used in a different country.
I’ll now request that this is whitelisted.

@ golsen
Although you may have a IP problem, I think your main issue is a degraded power supply lead.
The only way to diagnose this is to replace the lead.
They are readily available from Amazon or Ebay and cost around £10 - 12 inc. delivery,
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.
The reason I think this is the problem because you state that your 2nd light (internet) occasionally goes steady, that means that your Sure Signal has connected to the VF servers. The 'cycling' effect is a common symptom of an degrading power supply.
Regards,
Mike.

@golsen - 149.102.136.2 has been added to the whitelist.
Your Sure Signal’s showing as last connecting to our servers yesterday – how are you getting on now?
If you’re still having problems, please let us know what light sequence you’re seeing and if your IP address has changed again.
