Suresignal stopped working

My mark 1 SS box has generally been working fine for the last year and a half, but has recently stopped working. The front shows a solid power light only. Nothing has changed at my end and thus I wonder if this is due to the recent firmware upgrade announced on the forum.

 

I've tried all the steps in the troubleshooting guide, including reset etc a number of times over the last few days, but the box still shows a single solid light.

 

One point to note is that as another user has reported, when doing the reset and first holding the reset button for 30 seconds, I do not get a full set of solid lights (i.e. all lights on at the same time) but instead get the lights sequencing through very quickly in exactly the same way it does some seconds after powering up. I don't know whether this has any significance or whether it it is just the choice of wording in the troubleshooting guide.

 

Also worth noting is that following a reset:

 

i. the device DOES get an IP for a short period, i.e. it can be ping'ed from my network. However, it seems to lose this after some time, at which point it cannot be ping'ed. Solid light still showing on the device though.

 

ii. following the reset, after a while the 2nd light does come on, and the 4th light blinks. At this point I thought everything was working, but a short time later find that it has reverted back to solid single light. Again, this seems to be the pattern each time I go through the reset steps.

 

Diagnostics information:

 

i. Serial number: 21231986254

 

ii. Speedtest: 54.49Mb download, 15.90Mb upload

 

iii. Ping test: Packet loss 0%, ping 17ms, jitter 1ms

 

iv. tracert result:

v. Please further note that I do have an internal firewall, but this has been configured with all the appropriate port forwarding rules and HAS WORKED FINE FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS since it was installed. Nothing has changed at the firewall for at least 6 months.

 

Can you please help.

 

Thanks.

Hi smar,  

 

I can’t see anything wrong with your traceroute which may cause the issues you’re facing. When doing the reset, you may see the lights flash on and off very quickly. Are you able to try your Sure Signal on a different internet connection? This will allow us to determine where the issue may lie. Also, just to make sure everything is up to date from our end, I’ve just forced a resync of your device.

 

To make sure the resync completes, can you perform a factory reset:-

  • Hold down the reset button until all the lights show (about 30 seconds)
  • Keeping the reset button held down, remove then re-insert the power lead.
  • Once all lights display release the reset button.
  • The Sure Signal will come online in around 1 hour.

Let me know how you go on.

 

Thanks

Thanks Andrew.

 

I did the reset about two hours ago, but still no joy. The single power light is the only light on. I don't really have access to another internet connection here and now, but will have to wait a week or so to try that.

 

Is there anything else that can be done in the meantime? Is it possible to revert back to the previous firmware?
