Keypad keeps resetting after upgrading my simplisafe SS3 Replacement Verizon CAT-M1 Module

So I've never had any issues with my Simplisafe device for 2 years i've had it. Well after being sent a new CAT-M1 Module, I replaced it and everything was fine. But now every 2-3 weeks my keypad will say "Out of Range" even though I've never moved it and when I reset the Keypad I have to re add all of my devices again. Has anyone else had this issue or could I have a bad Module?

Yesterday I updated my Simplisafe and thought that would fix it. But as soon as it updated I woke up this morning to the same issue "Out of Range"

This issue is likely with the poster's Base Station. Please give our Support team a call at 800-548-9508 so we can send a replacement unit.

My guess is it's not directly related to the cellular module because, afaik, the base/keypad/sensor communications use different transmitter/receiver system/frequencies. But, what it is don't know. I'd sure take up SS on their support given it seems to be a repeat occurrence.

One thing maybe you could do is open up the base again and have a quick look to see if you notice anything like a partially seated connector or whatever. Maybe something got disturbed when the new module was installed.

Exactly THIS!

You described my situation exactly- word for word!  The only difference seems to be mine is resetting every few hours.  In the last 24 hours, I've gone around adding the sensors back 3 different times.  I've got over 25 of them and some of them require ladders to access so this is getting rather tedious.

I also did an update that a customer service rep pushed to my device, but didn't work.   Simplisafe says they may need to replace the base station and/or keypad.

@merak​ I 100% agree, especially if the memory clearing every few hours. I don't trust that Base Station, and we should replace it ASAP.

I'm having the same issues
