Hi Birch1234,
Everything is fine with your speed test, ping test and traceroute.
Your IP address is on our whitelist, so no problems there either.
A traceroute follows the path the signal will take from the Sure Signal to our servers.
It will show any high ping figures which may affect the connection.
The flashing power light shows that there is a fault with the Sure Signal, so you’d need to send it for repair.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Birch1234,
It may be just coincidence that the Sure Signal developed a fault at the same time you changed your router.
You can try the following to see if this fixes the fault.
If this doesn’t fix things, just pop to a Vodafone store and they’ll send the Sure Signal for repair for you.
There’s a two year warranty on the device so if it’s within this time, the repair will be free of charge.
Outside two years, the repair will be chargeable and cost £65.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Birch1234,
The first version Sure Signal has been out of production for a couple of years now, so I'm afraid chances are the warranty has expired.
If you take it in your nearest store, you'll be given a quote for a repair or replacement if you'd rather not purchase a version 3 unit.
Cheers, Ben
