The one child mode went off line, I don't know, a long time ago. So I thought I'd try to get it back online again and I've been messing with it for a couple of days, I still can't get it to go back online. And uh I've tried everything I know and now it doesn't even show up on the network anymore. It just shows to have two nodes instead of three. It used to say that the one was off line. [silence] Okay, it's 25L, it's in Franklin, 106, 05, 924
01:00
Speaker 2
Okay, I'm sorry to hear about that, sir. I think your child node gets totally disconnected from your mesh network or system. So don't worry, we can do some troubleshooting steps to add again your child node. Before we proceed, sir, may I have your the serial number of your Linksys product? [silence]
01:00
Speaker 1
157. That's correct. That's right. They used to, they were pressing I'm sorry, they were both, they weren't connected officially and they, the one went off and I never have been able to get it connected again.
02:00
Speaker 2
All right. So, I repeat again. The serial number is 25 F for Frank. 10605924157. Is that correct? All right. So this, uh, you mentioned you have three nodes, one parent node, and two child nodes. So only one of the child nodes disconnected, right? Uh, may I know what's, Hmm? Go ahead. Hmm? All right. Uh, that's fine. Uh, so long as the parent node is online. It's already good. Uh two of your nodes are still working. Um, you can still access your internet.

10:00
Speaker 2
Hello, all right, thank you for patiently waiting, Roy. I've processed now.
10:00
Speaker 1
Well, let's see. It's red. Solid red. Yes. OK, I'm within 10 ft of it right now.
11:00
Speaker 2
But for the payment transaction for the paid connect service and I've also sent the receipt to your email address. Now let's proceed with your concern your child not being disconnector. Can you tell me what's the status of its light or the color of its light? Solid red. All right. Uh I need you uh Roy to bring that child node near your parent node. Yeah. So, you need to bring it near your parent node because uh we will uh do a reset first on your child node and then add it again. And it's better to place it beside your parent node so that your parent node could easily detect your child node. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. It's blue right now. It doesn't look there. Maybe it's blinking. It's pretty, pretty subtle blink of blinking. Okay. Okay. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
start to blink blue, which means it's booting up or starting up. So we will have to wait patiently for its light to turn back to a solid light or solid red. Yeah. Well, it's blinking, as I mentioned it's starting up or booting up. So that's a normal process for a child node once it is plugged off and then plugged back in. right. Um… we'll do a reset on your channel now.
13:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I'm going to. Okay, I'm going to. Okay, it went off. Okay. Yes. Okay. Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
I need you to press and hold the reset button on your child node, and take note of its light because, okay, press and hold. Once the light goes up, you can release, holding the reset button. Okay, release. And then let's just wait for its light to turn back on. Once the light is back on, it will first it will first start to blink blue. As I've mentioned, blinking blue means it's booting up or starting up. And then it will turn solid purple or pink, depending on the light behavior of your child node.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it came back on bright red. Okay. Yes, I have it. Okay, I got it. Okay. Okay, give me a second. [silence] shh, give me a second. I got written down of here. Okay, let me go check now. Okay. Yes, it's there. yes, okay. Okay.
17:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Okay. Check on your phone's Wi-Fi settings the list of available Wi-Fi network name and see if the Wi-Fi name of your child node is listed on that available Wi-Fi network. Okay. Okay, that's good. That's good. It means that your child node was properly reset. So the color of your child node is solid red, but it's properly reset since it's broadcasting its Wi-Fi name. Now, we're going to add it as child node to your parent node. [silence]
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay. on the parent mode? on the -on the parent mode passes okay for five seconds okay okay because I'm gonna press and release it five times and hold it a second each time is that right? Press okay three four five that's fire okay
19:00
Speaker 2
you'll go to your parent node and press the reset button on your parent node five times within five seconds okay parent node, yes five times in five seconds so you're going to press release press release so that would be five times the reset button on your parent node okay no you don't have to hold it press just press and then release and then press release uh count up to five up to once you're done with five a release okay release and then just wait your parents your parents
19:00
Speaker 1
This is a pair node. I still green. I didn't sit like I can do it again. I still saw the green.
20:00
Speaker 2
should be blinking it slide? Yes. Your parents, not and slide you start blinking. It's still green, so it didn't blink, when you press its reset bottom five times to. Now, please just wait. Um, Did you press? Okay. Okay, press the reset button on your parent knows five times. And then let go.
20:00
Speaker 1
That's blinking. It blinked for a couple times and went back to green. Nope it's not blinking. Yes. It's literally six inches away. It's blinking now. The red light is blinking. Okay, it's blinking. Yeah. Okay.
21:00
Speaker 2
Let's go, and then, okay, that's good. Okay, that's good. Can you check on your child node, it slid blink? So it stays solid red. You make sure that your child note is near your parent node, right? Okay. That's good. Okay. Then let's just wait. I think the communication of your parents 'node to your child 'node took a while. Uh, that's That's the reason why we always want to place the child node as much as possible near to the pen 'node, so that the pen 'node could detect automatically your child node and it would start to blink.
21:00
Speaker 1
okay I'm in the app right now and and so it says router disconnected you are connected to the router you were setting up please reconnect the Wi-Fi to the router with the router serial number can I just ignore that.
22:00
Speaker 2
But now that your child is blinking, that's already a good sign. It means it's responding to your parent node's calling and we'll just have to wait patiently for it to turn to a solid blue or solid green. [silence] Okay.
22:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I'm going to close that. Okay. Okay. Okay. I was trying to add it before using I was trying to add it before using that Lynch's app. And uh, I couldn't get okay the screen.
23:00
Speaker 2
Just ignore the app, because we add your child node using the five - second method. We didn't add it using the linksys app. Yeah, close your linksys app. Because uh there are uh three ways to add a child node. One is through your linksys app. The other is the vibras method we did, which is the quickest way. And the third is uh adding your child node to the web browser uh interface. But since we used the five - second method, you don't have to open your linksys app. Um, it's the same as Mhm. Hmm. All right. That's good. Uh it makes.
23:00
Speaker 1
Wait, wait, it's a - it went back to red. Okay. Okay. Okay. It is. And now the child node is solid green.
24:00
Speaker 2
is already added. That's fine. So long as it's got a solid green, it means it's already added as a child node to your parent node. Now, it's normal for its slide to change because sometimes there will be an interruption or interference of connection from your child node to your parent node and especially to your internet provider. You just have to wait because it will turn back to a solid green. It's already added, you don't have to worry about it. Check your parent node slide if it's a solid green. Okay, right. So, it's just normal.
24:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So we'll go back to my internet? Okay, yeah, I'm back to the internet. Back to my internet. Okay. Now can I open the uh app and be sure they're all set?
25:00
Speaker 2
you do not have to worry when your child node change color to a red because sometimes there is really some interruption or interference with your internet connection. So that's normal. You just have to wait patiently for the lights to turn back to a solid green. Okay? All right. So you can now relocate the child node to where it was originally placed, because that's already added to your parent node or to your mesh system. So it's already back online. So you are you can access your internet or when you are at the place where your channel is located. All right. Uh, you don't have to [silence] [silence] [silence]
25:00
Speaker 1
Okay. okay. Oh yeah, I have to do that. check my my network, you know? so can I can I open can I open the license? Okay. Okay, it's going to the setup experience because that's where I was before. Do I want to say don't want to continue setup? okay.
26:00
Speaker 2
Use the app for adding the child net, because your child net is already added. Your app, you can only open your app if you want to, you know, check on your devices that are connected to your Wi-Fi. The notes? Yeah, you can check, uh, yeah, you can open your Linksys app and check, uh, how many nodes are there on your app. Yes, uh, don't continue because your node is already, your child node is already added.
26:00
Speaker 1
Okay, let me, uh, . Yeah, uh, . Okay, it's connected to my router now, getting router settings. Okay, . It shows only two nodes, . Yeah, it shows only two nodes.
27:00
Speaker 2
Just go to your, Your dashboard on your app so that you can see your, Your no, your no, your information. Okay, that's fine, because it may talk a little longer to load in the information that you have already added your child note. But you don't have to worry. Uh, maybe you need to refresh the app or go back, um, open the app the next day, uh, maybe after 24 hours.
27:00
Speaker 1
Okay so soon gonna yeah okay okay it just it just showed up it's here okay ah thank you for your I appreciate it very good help if I should have trouble again can I uh you will you send me a something saying you and I work on this but you know how does that work do I just I just say yeah I think so yeah well thank you thank you for the help I appreciate it very good help [silence]
28:00
Speaker 2
it will already show up on the app dashboard that your child note is added. But, as I've mentioned, since your child node already turned solid green, it's already added to your mesh system. So you don't have to worry if you've missed it. Okay, that's good. All right, so we're good now. Right? You have already added. Yeah. All right, so thank you for calling links. Yeah. Thank you for calling linksus again. All right, you did great. doing the troubleshooting step adding your child node. Yeah. Yeah, it's also my pleasure to assist you. Mm-hmm. Pardon? [silence]
28:00
Speaker 1
if I should have trouble again, uh do do I have a case number or anything like that? Okay. Hold on just a second. just a second let me get let me get. Hold on just a second I'm gonna get something to write with. Okay. okay I'm ready. I'm ready now yeah. Okay I'm gonna read that back to you. Lts 00135814 [silence]
29:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Sure. Sure. Ready? Okay. So, your ticket number starts with letter L for Lima. T for Tango. S for Sabi, 0, 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 1, 4. Yes, you get it. Correct? [silence] Thank you. Hello, Roy. Hello. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, that's fine. Okay, bye. [silence]
29:00
Speaker 1
Can you hang on for just a second while I move this router or this child node and be sure it still stays connected? Okay, hold on. I'm gonna unplug it and go plug it back in where it normally goes. Take me just a second. Um Okay, I plugged it in. It's a blue light right now. Okay. [ silence ] - - - - - with children and children as IG. That's crazy. Uh are people now. [ silence ] is on. They go to the thing. Where's the little? Uh, I did. they are most unsatisfactory try to turn off.
32:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, sure. Wrong site. All right, it means it's still booting up. So let us wait.
32:00
Speaker 1
I guess I'm glad I didn't hang up. okay okay I can say this this one best particular node stopped working some time ago and I couple times tried to boot it and everything it back on and never could get it to work and so so I thought okay I'm going to work on it again.
33:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. [silence] Yeah, but uh, you don't have to worry. Your child node is already added, uh, it will not, um, be disconnected unless you press its reset button, then your child node will be disconnected or you have a power outage or an internet service interruption. That's the only time that your child node will be disconnected. Mhm. Mhm. Can you also check on your Lynxys app if its former version is updated?
33:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Yeah, I. Okay, now it's blinking red. It's not very far. It's about about 20 foot from the mother node. And I mean, I am in a different room, but
34:00
Speaker 2
because sometimes when the firmware is outdated, it will have some technical problems with your child nodes or performance issues. So, you may also try to check on your Lynxess app if your three nodes are all updated. And if they're not, you can go on. Okay, that's normal. It's still trying to connect to your parent node because maybe the location you placed the child node is far away from the parent node, and it may be blocked by other devices or walls. So, it's, yeah, so it may take a
34:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it turned green. Yeah, we're, we're good. It turned green. Again, thank, thank you very much. I'll hang up this time, I promise. Thank you, you too.
35:00
Speaker 2
ies blink and then starts blinking because you have to know that your parent node is still transmitting data from where it is located to your okay that's good okay all right so yeah yeah thanks you're welcome thank you and good day
35:00
