Oh, hi. My name is, my name's Peter and I'm trying to find out the, the box number that I need to extend my Wi-Fi. Um, so the linksys box that's in is model number SPNMX20. So what model number do I need to extend that because, um, the reception's not very good, keeps dropping out. We can't see it in some of the rooms. Yes, occasionally disconnects, yes. [silence]

Speaker 2
Welcome to linksys Support. To assure quality service, your call may be monitored. Please remain on the line for assistance. Hi, thanks for calling linksys technical support. My name is Loli. How can I help you? Uh-huh. Okay, so this um router sometimes tends to get disconnected, right?
00:00
Speaker 1
So we've split it so that we've got the two two different bands and some devices logged onto the five uh five gigahertz band I think it is yeah and some devices on the 2.4. um as what We were advised to do by community fiber in London uh well I don't believe so no I think the internet connection is okay but um I I don't have any other nodes I just have this one router which is downstairs [silence]
01:00
Speaker 2
So when you encounter this these issues they're like, what have you done so far on this specific node or router? Uh-huh. Gigahertz. Mm-hmm. So, uh, right now, sir, are all the nodes that you have, are they all connected or is there a problem with your internet connection? Ah, yeah, you only have one.
01:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, so I want to get another one, but I want to make sure I get the right model to extend that router. Well I haven't got it yet. I'm ringing you to ask what to buy. Yeah. Sorry, had you know that? Oh is it? I'll go down and have a look. If you say so, I mean, uh, I don't know how you have it on your records. Yeah. [ silence ]
02:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so you have another router that you wanna add to your network. Okay, so the one that you have, it's serial number ended at one eight four one. We actually have it on our record. Yeah, it's uh you can uh you can check it underneath the router, the current router that you have, it's the s p n x 20. And then,
02:00
Speaker 1
yeah it's certainly uh a 20. um and uh the serial number, what did you say the serial number is one eight ends in one 841. That's correct. yeah okay. So what what model do I need to buy to extend this router or to to to set up as a a mesh network? what model? what the okay. okay. but they they charge per month you see, so I just want it to buy outright. So I think, um.
03:00
Speaker 2
uh uh sounds like it you can actually request the same router to the community fiber or they can actually advise you as well but for this one sir you can actually get the the same one just go to the or just call yeah just call the community fiber and ask for the same model yes oh yeah you
03:00
Speaker 1
Yes, please. Sorry. MX 2000. All right. MX 2000 will extend the MX 20 then, yeah. Okay. How much does how much does it? Okay, how much does it cost? Okay, I'll look it up on Amazon. That's not.
04:00
Speaker 2
Can also buy it outside. But let me just double check that. Okay? So if you're going to buy this one outside, it should be MX 2000. 2000. Yes. Yes. So you can check this one or you can purchase this router on Amazon. So yeah, you can actually. And now, let me check that for you. Okay, ale. Let me just double check it. [silence] Okay, [silence] actually, it's 29.99 here on Amazon. [silence] So Palsmay actually would be more. [silence] right. [silence] On Amazon.
04:00
Speaker 1
Uh, I don't know, but I have an account with Amazon, so I can certainly buy through Amazon. It's not a problem. Oh, okay. Oh, all right, not to worry. Yeah, but it's definitely the MX 2000. It's definitely the MX 2000. But does that have the SPN in front of it? SPN MX 2000. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
Do you have the Amazon App Store? Oh yeah. Yeah, you can check it there. Can I actually pull out the Amazon website here on our system, because yeah, it's actually not whitelisted, sir. But yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. Yes. Yes, that is SP NMX 2000, but they removed the two other.
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay, and the code is different, it's an MX2000 as opposed to MX20. Okay. Okay, all right. I'll go do that, all right then. Uh, so that's great. Well, I'm going to buy one so I can put it in the hall a little bit higher up the stares.
06:00
Speaker 2
But the original model number of yeah, but for the original model number of this one. Because it's actually partnered with your internet service provider, so that's why it has the SP and M since it's partnership with the community fiber and since you want to purchase this one outside the community fiber, so all you just have to do is just to purchase it on Amazon. Yes, it should be a X2000. Uh-huh. Ah, yes. And yeah. Yeah, so how many links this routers are you're planning to get Sir Peter? Okay, if ah, huh.
06:00
Speaker 1
to pick up the signal from this and hopefully extend it further. yeah. okay. okay. okay. okay. All right, but I still need to buy the router. There's no magic cure for this. I need to buy another router, yeah.
07:00
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. [silence] Oh, okay, I see. [silence] So how about with this one, sir Peter, okay? [silence] To save up your time, of course. [silence] Once you already have the newly purchased router on Amazon. [silence] Because I can actually send you a home network set up guide. [silence] So this email consists of seven troubleshooting information. [silence] So the first one is how to setup a newly purchased router. [silence] The second, and then aside from that one, it also has some other troubleshooting instruction that could might actually be helpful, of course, for you in the future. [silence] Ah, yes, sir. [silence] Yes. [silence] You need to purchase a new one. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah, and the Wi-Fi extenders that I've currently got are, you know the ones that are inside the plugs? But those I've got those, but they don't seem to work very well. I still get dropouts. So. Okay. Okay. And I won't need to plug in a run a cat-6 cable or anything. No. Okay, all right then. Okay. Okay.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so, uh, yeah, of course, since this MX 2000 actually has, uh, you know, some ports, then yes, you can absolutely use those ports that is available. You don't need to run a cable for this one, for as long as it can communicate to the parent, then there will be no problem. Mhm. So, uh, yeah, um, just please expect an email with, uh, with the how to set up a new router.
