A as in apple, R as in red, 70 at hotmail.com. So I've kept, I've unplugged it because I couldn't get it to work. So you want me to plug it in both power and ethernet?ried all the tips and tricks and nothing has worked. Yes. tried that twice. Yes. So I followed the instructions, holding down the reset button for 10 seconds and then
03:00
Speaker 2
OK. OK, so you still have the first node, plugin right now mam, right on the modem, modems. Yes, yes. Did you try a re-set num, you or reset, like for how long? [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
releasing and not doing anything for, I don't know how many minutes. I've done it twice. believe me, I've tried every troubleshooting option that I have seen. I can't tell you what order I've done them in. I don't know. Yes, it's plugged in. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. I have to go pull it out of the wall. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
I see. So just a reset. You didn't do some setup or any other troubleshooting? I see. Okay. No worries, ma'am. We will go ahead and check for that. So is it already plug in right now, the parent node. Okay. Will it be possible that you can plug in the other node? Ma'am, the child node, put it right next, just for adding purposes, put it right next to the parent node, less than a meter away from the parent node.
04:00
Speaker 1
you said 10 cm away? How much distance? meter? Yeah, no problem. Okay, so we both have power. The original one has a red flashing light and the additional node has a solid blue light. The extra one, the second one.
05:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry, man. Mm-hmm. Uh, less than a meat away, ma'am. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry, man. Which one is a solid blue light ma'am? TheThe second one. Okay. Okay, while we wait, ma'am, on the second one, the second node...
05:00
Speaker 1
And now we have a solid blue light again. The second one. And now it's a flashing blue light on the second one still a solid red light on the the original the the main one.
07:00
Speaker 2
Solid blue on which node, ma'am?[silence] Okay, how is it? [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] Oh I've got a purple light on the second node [silence] The booster. First one's still a solid red. [silence] I know my internet is working from the modem because when I plug it into a desktop computer, it connects. So the internet is working. [silence] Yes, I'm still here. [silence] It's a steady red light, which means it's not connecting.
08:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry hello ma'am yes we not have a study light on the parents noted study red OK [silence]
11:00
Speaker 1
Mm-hmm. Mm-mm. Yes. Sure. Yes, I do. Devel up set at 315 and same thing, 390. Yes. Okay.
12:00
Speaker 2
(Music playing) Reset, reset on the parent node, right? Can you check on the Wi-Fi name on the list of available network on your phone or any device? Can you check if you can see two Belup setup names? two, three, four, five. Okay, so that means that these nodes are ready for setup. So I will ask you to do the five press, ma'am. Five press, what you need to do is to press and release the reset button of the parent node, that's the one connected to your modem, five times. Not too fast, not too slow. (Music playing)
12:00
Speaker 1
OK, that was five. Oh. It's flashing orange light. That's something I haven't seen. Yeah. OK. One of my networks, the 390 went away. [silence] Great. [silence] [silence] OK. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay, what's the light on the top of your Parents now flashing orange lights? Okay, yes, ma'am. This is actually one way of setting up a device, ma'am, so let's just give it three to five minutes. This now should go to a sudden blue light after three to five minutes.
13:00
Speaker 1
Pack. Okay. Nope. Solid green. green on the parent node. Oh, and it went to red. The second one is a flashing purple. Oh, and now it's a flashing red. Both of them are flashing red. [silence] One's still flashing red. Yes. Both.
14:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, okay. How is it, ma'am? Any changes? For both the notes, or just a pair? Just a child? For both notes, okay.
15:00
Speaker 1
Can you give me a little bit more detail? Like what those terms are referring to, and what context it's in? Because I think I might be able to give you an answer if I have a little bit more context.
17:00
Speaker 2
uh-huh. just let me know, ma'am, if there's any changes on the lights, okay. uh, give it another two minutes.
17:00
Speaker 1
Everything's still the same. No. everything's the same flashing red on the parent node and solid red on the second node.
18:00
Speaker 2
Okay, how is it then? Any changes?
18:00
Speaker 1
everything's still the same. Yep, solid red on the second and flashing on the parent. Yes, I have a desktop. Okay. Let's see if you can see this clearly if I blow it up.
20:00
Speaker 2
How is it? still the same. Okay. Do we have a computer, ma'am, or maybe an iPad that you can use? You have a desktop, okay. Can you take a picture, ma'm, on the sticker underneath your parent node? And make sure that the WiFi name and the password and the recovery key is disabled. Okay?
20:00
Speaker 1
no that's a great idea okay so I'm gonna unplug it from my parent node and plug it into my desktop for do you want it connected I have a different ethernet to connect from the parent node to the desktop different aethernet like we originally have to get this
21:00
Speaker 2
okay then let's go to your desktop ma'am make sure go to the wife make sure that your desktop is connected to the parent nodes wife name will suggest a different parent Let me know if your baby okay. Okay. Connect. Let me know if the computer is connected, ma'am, so that we can check on the IP, okay? [silence]
21:00
Speaker 1
OK. I'm waiting on the desktop to open up. Sorry. I would, I would, I would have had my laptop ready, but, yeah. All right. Now this is saying no, no internet, no network. Well, that would make a difference. Last time I tried this. Oh, I see. OK. So if it's connected to the node, it has no internet. Just say.
23:00
Speaker 2
Okay, that's a game out. Okay, got it, are connected to the parent or the child? Connected to the parents, okay. Uh, open a browser on your computer.
23:00
Speaker 1
So on a computer, it's not going to let me open a browser without Internet. So you want me to go ahead and plug it into the Ethernet cable that's attached to the modem. Because that's the only way this is going to get Internet. No, I connected it to the tarant. So no, I'm going to connect it to the do you you want so you want to know the ethernet from the modem? What does it say, right? Okay. Well, yeah, since the note isn't connecting. Can't see a damn thing in the dark.
24:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay and on the address bar. Uh no ma'am. We will not. Oh okay. So you confirm that there is internet from the modem, right? You connected a computer to it. Okay. Yes. Oh I didn't know you were still there.
24:00
Speaker 1
Just trying to see if we have internet. Besides, we don't have internet. Oh. Now it's connected. Now. It is currently connected to the modem. And it says it's connecting. Yes. Now I did in order to connect to the desktop. Yes. Okay, so connecting it back to the modem. All right, so now the modem and the parent node are connected. Oh, no. So you want them all to be linked the way they originally Okay, before we started making all these changes. Okay, gotcha.
25:00
Speaker 2
We need an internet connection for us to set up your device. But what we need now is connect your Linksys node back to your modem. Make sure that that's the same port that you used earlier and then we will access the user interface. Okay. So we have a connection, modem, parents node and computer.
26:00
Speaker 1
Now, they're all connected. And my computer, so I can stop messing around with my. Thank you. Identifying. No, internet on the desktop. OK, let's go ahead and tell me that again. Yeah, I'm still here. Command what? I don't. Uh-huh. Yes.

49:00
Speaker 2
Oh, I see how about this, ma' first, because right now we're actually having problems with, um, sorry, let me just inform you about this. The earlier, ma'am, when we tried to set it up using the fiber, it shows that the X mark on internet port is not detected. So, that's the problem why we're not getting internet. So, right now, our concern is that we can't get through the user interface for us to set up the internet device manually and we cannot do swap because the node that you have or the extra node that you have that is, um, not, uh, used for, not intended to be as a parent node. Anyway,
50:00
Speaker 1
mm-hmm. OK. um yup I'm ready mm-hmm. OK. OK. OK. OK. got it. [silence] OK. Thank you so much for your patience. Please appreciate your help.
