Are you trying to connect to the Wi-Fi or via an ethernet cable. Okay. Thank you. May know what's the model of your device? is or is it your laptop, sir?
02:00
Speaker 1
No, no, the, no, the number, yeah, yeah, this, I'm, so, this is my, my parents' house. Okay, but the. Yeah, give me one second. So, we have this mesh V-lob system. This is my parents' house. I just moved back home. So that's that's why you don't have a a number for me because technically everything's under my parents' name. But the serial number is, uh, yep, it's two. Well, I, I'm giving you the serial number to the one that's hardwire to the modem, but it's, uh, 2 0 J 1 0 C 6 B.
04:00
Speaker 2
It's okay, sir. It's okay. I'm going to create a I'm going to create a record for you first in the system. Uh, can you confirm to me, sir, what's the serial number of your Linksys device? Go ahead. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. It's okay, uh, since you're the one we're speaking with. Great. Sure, go ahead. You have the serial number. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.
04:00
Speaker 1
766107. 3 total uh Spectrum oh yeah Tyler T Y L E R and then Ely E-L-Y uh well I'll give you the one that's tied to the Linksys account which is uh Tammy T-A-M-M-Y [silence] [silence] [silence] and then her email address which is T A M M Y K U N W at gmail.com.
05:00
Speaker 2
Okay. How many in total of linked devices do you have there, sir? WHW servers. Mail is your internet service provider. Okay. I'll create a record during the system. I know your first name and last name. How about email address? Any email address will do.
05:00
Speaker 1
ELE. ely5915. at gmail. okay Yeah, that's correct. My work laptop, my phone is connected, my parents' laptop is connected, our other phones are connected, it's just my work laptop. So when I go, when I go to connect, the Wi-Fi shows up, the available network shows up to my Wi-Fi, I click it, I type in the password, it says checking network requirements, checking network requirements and it says can't connect to this network. And I troubleshooted with my, uh, helpdesk for like three hours. They updated all of my hardware and everything. So we think now the problem is something with the router.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Just to confirm, if by chance you are going to connect your laptop to the Wi-Fi, like, is there an error message showing? [silence] Okay. All right. Now, sure, I was able to create a record for you in the system, however, based on our records here, the warranty of your product has already been expired. And just to set the proper expectation that we no longer provide free technical assistance for out of warranty devices. However, if you insist, we can still provide you one-time phone support lasting only for 60 minutes, but there would be a fee for that, and that's $15. If by chance you don't want to pay $15, it's okay. We can still have a free option for you, wherein I can send only a troubleshooting guide for you in your email and how you can try to check your network settings or your network mode in your router so that you can switch it
07:00
Speaker 1
I mean honestly I've been dealing with all this for the last three days and we can't get it figured out so I would like it I would like to get it taken care of immediately now um the $15 isn't a problem my only thing is um you know I'm not really gonna be looking to spend to pay $15 if we don't actually solve the issue.
09:00
Speaker 2
Changing it to WPA2 or WPA3 so that your newer devices will connect to your network. That's for free through email, but which one do you prefer? [silence] Oh yeah. Just set proper expectation sir, if by chance you wanted to continue with troubleshooting with us through the phone, via the paid support, I cannot guarantee sir that I can resolve the issue. Does then again, there might be, we will be, encounter some problems with.
09:00
Speaker 1
So, it-it could that could be the issue is because they're old. [silence] It's in in WPA. It's in WPA 2. No, it's not. Yeah, it's not. And it doesn't show up as an option. I've already tried to switch it. It only has WPA 2 and WPA 2 slash WPA mix.
10:00
Speaker 2
routers there because you no longer have for more updates with your router or your link device because this this is part of our first generation nodes meaning to say aside that we don't have uh we don't manufacture this device we don't have also firmware updates for this. So we might be having. Uh that's one of the reasons sir but it's not a guarantee 100% that that's all the reasons behind. Then again what i can only do is i can only check if the security mode of your device is in the proper or in the correct way so that your other devices will be connected to the router. WPA 2/ WPA 3 sir. You can switch that. Hmm.
10:00
Speaker 1
So my guess is that's probably that these are old, correct? [silence] How old are they? [silence] Okay, so it's eight years old um and with a new laptop how much are the um new nodes? How much are the new nodes?
11:00
Speaker 2
Yes sir that's part of the oldest nodes or router. Let me check. So your device, sir. It's almost it's already eight years old, sir. Yes. Um, I cannot. [silence]
11:00

12:00
Speaker 2
I can, I can let you know the exact amount, how much it cost wrote because we no longer uh well devices here, but you can check the products to Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and Target. They're the one selling this link S. But it might be around, it depends on the uh device they're trying to purchase, but the uh newest device is cost around a hundred dollars, 70, 100 dollars.
