00:00
Speaker 2
Welcome to Linksys support. To assure quality service, your call may be monitored. Please remain on the line for assistance. Hi, this is [silence] from Linksys, how can I assist you? Mhm. May I know first, what's your existing Linksys mesh there? For me to provide you model numbers that are compatible with your existing ones.
00:00
Speaker 1
beneath The Linksys thing. Is that where it would be? And do you want the model number or the uh serial number if that makes sense. And now I just don't think it just it just says Giga Clear powered by Linksys. So I've got the serial number and now beneath oh actually sorry I've got I've got the model number as well. Just a minute. It's just underneath. Just going to turn my light if that's okay on my phone. It's really small. I'm trying to actually uh.
01:00
Speaker 2
on the sticker. yeah, on the speaker. Model number will do. Okay, go ahead. What's the serial number? Mm-hmm.
01:00
Speaker 1
i'm just preparing to read it at the moment can you just give me 30 seconds sorry is that okay Okay, sorry about that. Do you want, would you prefer the model number or the serial number? Okay, the model number is W-H-W-03 and then V2.
02:00
Speaker 2
No problem. what's your model number?. OK, thank you. Indeed, this is one of our mesh routers. And actually any mesh routers will work with our WHW03. And just to let you know, that is not really our latest. In fact, it's one of our first ever release mesh way back like 2020, 2018. So, if you're looking to buy an extender, I can also suggest for you instead to have one of our latest mesh. It will be then set up as a main router.
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay. And when, yeah, so at the moment I have the that one um as my main one. Uh and then I have I have a child, I already have an extender node somewhere else in the house which is also an old version. So I'm looking to buy another extender. So if I do that, what you're saying is I what I should probably do is the new one switch to being my main node. Is that right? Okay and who who who
04:00
Speaker 2
and this old one i mean this w-h-w-03 you have will be configured as an extender but it's up to you okay you can still keep that one as a parent node or a main node and just you can then buy still one of our uh latest mesh it can be still set up as an extender model numbers are do you want to take notes of the model numbers? all right and your two existing mesh there will be all configured as an extender to the new one. um, we have the easiest way to set it up. We call that five press reset, where you need to gather all three within five feet from each other. And all three must be on setup mode, meaning you have to reset this old extender so that it will go back to the setup mode. And by doing the five press, like press, release, press, release, press, release on the reset button only on the new parent node, all linksters will be configured online within three minutes. So, but once you have it, you can actually call usher so that we can help you, we can guide you to set up all the nodes then.
04:00
Speaker 1
The extender, obviously where the Giga clear is going is sitting is staying in the same place, but I need an additional extender, or the WiFi extender. Um, so I can change it at the same time if need be, um, to become the main node of course. Um, okay. Well, yes, it probably makes sense to buy the new one. Then then then I can decide that once it arrives. Okay. Can I just write that down? So what I would do is I would purchase it through my internet service provider first, then if not just buy
06:00
Speaker 2
mm-hmm . yes correct yeah so any of our MX series or SPNMX series you can um you can ask your internet service provider about that i think they have our device from their end our SPNMX but just in case it's not there available you can then just purchase it okay SPNMX or MX
06:00
Speaker 1
buy it from Amazon, but is that right? If I buy it, if it's better, if I buy it from GigaClear. Okay. Um, so I have to contact them and then the model number I'm, I'm asking them for, um, Sorry, SPM did you say? Yeah. Five six, okay. Um, four two, okay. So it's SPN, M X and then five six, five five or four two. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Yeah. Much better if it's coming from their end. Guess the firmware is already from their end as well. From them. Correct. Is SPN. So, Sam, Papa, Nancy, Mike, X-ray. Yes. Correct. S, P, N, M, A, X, 5, 6. So, it can be 5, 6, 5, 5, or 4, 2. So, again, it can be 5, 6, 5, 5, or 4, 2.
07:00
Speaker 1
And it's best to just contact Cavin with that, just specifically. Okay. I will do that and I will buy it through them. Okay. Thank you very much for your help. I'll contact you then once it has arrived. Lovely. Thank you very much. Really, thank you.
08:00
Speaker 2
