Speaker 1
stuff to set it up right now, but I also have – I'm sorry. Can you hear me? Yeah. I was also – okay. I was also going to combine it with the Linksys – I have three Linksys Velop and I was going to combine the two which I checked before I ordered and they said I could do it. The question I have is, I can't find anything on the devices I just bought that says Atlas that makes them different than what I currently have with the Velop or the, you know, the older version. And I just wanted I wanted to make sure I had the right product. Okay. Yeah. Well, it's the

Speaker 2
Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Which one is the potato and the bus? Okay. Uh... Okay, Atlas 6 is actually a Wi-fi 5 band mesh system. And just to verify, may I have your email address so that I can check your existing record here with your existing nodes?
01:00
Speaker 1
E-H-A-Y-S-M-C-C-A-R-T-Y-[silence]-at ([silence]) I'm sorry, at gmail.com.
02:00
Speaker 2
mhm. mhm. mhm. Okay. At. All right. Thank you. Let me check it here. All right. So I've got a record and your existing um model number here is MX 4200. Yes. It's actually a tri band and right now, this MX 4200 is working fine and existing solid blue and with internet, right? And you're just adding another node to extend Wi-Fi, correct? Okay. Okay.
02:00
Speaker 1
So, I don't know how it's registered, but then the new ones I just bought, you know, yesterday on Amazon and they just got delivered. And my really my basic, my basic question is how do you tell the two apart? Because they're supposed to be, you know, the new ones are supposed to be considerably better than the old ones, according to what I understand. No. I mean, I have, I have three additional um modes that I intend on setting up after I set up the the Atlas modes. Mhm. Mm-hmm.
03:00
Speaker 2
to use the MX 4200, which is your existing one, the older one, as the main parent node. If you're just adding the Atlas 6 to the existing one, that's fine. They're both compatible. [silence] Okay. The difference is the SKU or model number. You can, there should be like a model number at the bottom that says, for the Atlas MX 55. Or MX [silence] Yeah yes.
04:00
Speaker 1
2000 and it has that on both of them. Mm-Hmm. I understand. I understand. I'm still trying to get to the base. My first question really is, and you say it's at the bottom, the print's so small I can't read it. Maybe I can take a picture of it and blow it up, but the new Atlas modes that I just received that the box says are Atlas, I don't see anything that I can read on the bottom that says it's any different than the old ones that I had. That's my question. Mm-Hmm.
05:00
Speaker 2
uh-huh. Okay. Yes. MX-2000, that's the correct model number of that node. And if you're going to use one of it as a main parent node, either of the two, so you can select one of the two. And the other one will be used as a child node. If you're going to set it up as the... Atlas 6.
05:00
Speaker 1
Well, right. Okay, that's correct. But my question is then why are the the old ones that are two to three years old. Why are they also MX2000? [silence] Great.
06:00
Speaker 2
you got the MX 2000. Okay, for that possible, um, might be that the newer one that you got is stuck in the shelf. So you just got it. It's still available. It still has a stack and your MX2000 is sold, existing one is actually the last release, the all, I mean the Atlas six. Let me double check it here. It's actually all if you have existing MX2000 and you got a new, newer one. MX2000 they're all the same, basically the same. It's just that you just got.
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay. But even though the box says it's Atlas, it's still the same as the ones I had that were two years ago or three years ago. Okay. Alrighty. Well, that's the question. I didn't want to start setting it up if it was the wrong wrong uh nomenclature or something because I, I mean what I was told was that the Atlas ones with the Wi-Fi 6 should be the, uh I should pick one of those as the mother node and, and the other two I should put in the areas in the house that have the weakest reception and then I should augment it with the older ones. Is that correct? Mhm. Mhm. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
the first batch that's the one that you have existing yes but uh-huh uh-huh I see I understand yes that's correct actually the newer one should be the parents node and the older one is the um child node but all sim since you have all the same model number which are a PL six you can just add the newer one as a child node to
07:00
Speaker 1
All righty. Okay. All right. I think I got it. Well, thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it. All right. Thanks. Bye.
08:00
Speaker 2
Expand the Wi-Fi of your existing. MX 2000. as well. Mm-hmm. . Thanks for calling Linus. of friends. Have a wonderful day. Yeah.
