I have a Vodafone Sure Signal V3 device that connects to wifi and puts out a 3G phone signal in areas of poor mobile reception. I had one working for a couple of years but in November it stopped connecting to Vodafone (via my Hub One). I now have a replacement Sure Signal device but it won't connect either.
Vodafone's troubleshooting guides for SureSignal V3 ask users to run the route tracing command "tracert 212.183.133.177".
For me, this consistently times out after reaching 166-49-211-254.eu.bt.net [166.49.211.254]
Has there been some change in BT's routing that is blocking this?
