I'm like yes ma'am you got it. So all right. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Hmm. I see. All right now let me just take a look at this here. Yeah, it's a bit odd with regards to the connections. But can you provide the model number and serial number of this Lynkzys router that you have ma'am? So that I could check.
08:00
Speaker 1
OK, the serial number is 6UXNAZM3JH. I will go look. Oh, I'm sorry. This room is ridiculous. It's a room where everything goes that you don't know what to do with. OK, and this is the model number you want, right? Uh is this the Linsky number 17479?
09:00
Speaker 2
can you see the model number ma'am of the router? all right uh-huh it's under the Linksys name

Speaker 1
174796 UX. Ux. And then it's N, A, D, M, 3J. H
10:00
Speaker 2
What's the number again? The serial number is 6x6ux. Because I couldn't pull up any data with regards this serial number that you provided to me, and also the model.

Speaker 1

11:00
Speaker 2
can we double check the S number? M hmm. Is that the correct SNA number? 1 4 X 1 1 0 6 0 3 1 7 4 7 9. Mmhm.
11:00
Speaker 1
one seven four seven nine there's numbers. Um, wow. Um, there's that SN number and then there's the Mac number.
12:00
Speaker 1
And then, the the link, the link is, has a number. Is that what you need? [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Um, solder is only... Did a man right here. Okay, one man. Okay, and you did not find any, um, model number that starts with letter E or it starts with L [BLEEP].
13:00
Speaker 1
Starts with a E. I can't read that one. Oh. It says wireless password. Would that be it? I have one, the S and N that I just gave you that starts with a 14 and then I have the Mac and then I have, I can't figure out the symbol, but it's 4 3 6 0 6 2 6 9.
14:00
Speaker 2
Yes. No, that's not it man. Mhm. [silence] Okay, one moment here. Because I tried to pull up a record here or information here with this router. Just to confirm the serial number or the SIN that you provided to me is one four X as in X-ray one zero six zero three four one seven four seven nine.
14:00
Speaker 1
I have one that says, um, wireless password. And then I have the Linsky. And then this number I just gave you and that's it. There's no other numbers from underneath here. Did you say something about E? [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
O.K. for that we double check. So there are no or no model number. like under the two links. It's a name. Um, there is um model that safe. Um, starts with letter E. or starts with um another M. . Mm hmm. . Yes.
16:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I'm looking underneath. This one's on top. I'm sorry. It's E. E-A-6-1-0-0.
17:00
Speaker 2
It starts with the letter E. Got it. All right. Thank you so much, Ram. One moment here. Thank you so much for the information. So let me double check. And just to confirm, you're calling from United States, right? Yeah, I got it right. [silence]
17:00
Speaker 1
there. Double chat, because it was a little light today.Yes.
18:00
Speaker 2
Is there any light on top of the router? [silence] Oh a blinking light.
18:00
Speaker 1
what have I done with it? I've shut it off and restarted it a few times and when I was on the phone with Spectrum and then this morning I did the same thing but nothing happens. [silence]
20:00
Speaker 2
And also then just to confirm, what troubleshooting have you done so far with your router?
20:00
Speaker 1
Ooh, yeah. Ah. [silence] Ah. What do you suggest [silence]
21:00
Speaker 2
Just to set the proper expectation that your router was already part of an en-of-life router. It means that there is no updated firmware and we don't manufacture this router anymore. Yeah. Yes, man. So, in the future there might be some connectivity issue with this router with regards to your modem because your modem keeps on updating their software. However, this router doesn't have any updates. So, we can but we can try to reset this one and you can try to observe the connection within 24 to 48 hours. But I can highly suggest you to upgrade your latest router if you want. But if you still want to use your router, then you can still use this one.
21:00
Speaker 1
jess should I upgrade, [silence] okay, so I need to get a new one. Okay, okay. And how do I do that? I can use um, oh, I have to buy this myself? Um, oh, I didn't realize that. I thought Spectrum would take care of all of this. But they don't, huh?
22:00
Speaker 2
Um yes ma'am you need to upgrade since this device don't have any uh firmware update so the security of this router is not still secured anymore. Uh-huh. Yes ma'am that is correct. Um you can purchase it on the Amazon website. I can provide you some model numbers or you can use other brands if you want. Yes ma'am you need to purchase it. Uh they they do have a routers but I think they don't sell that one.
22:00
Speaker 1
okay. So, okay, I'm going to take down the numbers uh, for the routers and if I can get back online. I love it because they kept telling me yesterday, well, go on your computer and go here. I can't. I don't have I have nothing here. Oh. Okay. Um, so I need to get a new one. Okay. I'd like to try to reset it anyways, and I'll look into getting a new one. How's that sound okay?
23:00
Speaker 2
You need to rent that or you need to pay it monthly? [silence] All right. Cause if we reset this one ma'am, your router will go back to its default settings or factory settings and you need to set it up again from the scratch. [silence] If you want, but, but you don't want to try to reset this one.
23:00
Speaker 1
pig, get me through right now so I can go on Amazon because I don't have a computer. It's all crazy because you need the computer to do anything but I can't do anything because I don't have one. So if I can get the Internet for just even a few days then I could remedy all this. Okay. Oh, okay. I am by the router and I will follow directions.
24:00
Speaker 2
Yes, ma'am, that's okay.
24:00
Speaker 1
How's that? Okay. And where would that be? Okay. This back. Is it that little... red button? No. Yes? Mm-hm. Okay. But it's inside. Do I need a pencil or something? Oh, okay. Ah, sorry. Don't have one. Ah. I wish I knew in advance and I'd have everything ready. And then...
25:00
Speaker 2
I see. So here's the thing, ma'am. Can I press and hold the reset button of this router? It's at the back of the router. Yes, the red button. Yes, that's it. You need to press and hold it for about 15 to 20 seconds. Yes, you need to um use a pin or a pencil.
25:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] I wouldn't have to make anybody wait, you know. I know your time is valuable. I'm older than the hills too, so I don't know a lot about this stuff. I wasn't, you know, I wasn't raised on a computer, so it this is all a challenge. Okay. You can't function like that. You can't function without one. It's also okay. All right. I get this to go in. Far f rink. Far f crano. Well, get in. Okay, okay. Nosa. fr Ugh. I'm going to have to get something smaller. It won't be. [silence]
26:00
Speaker 2

26:00
Speaker 1

27:00
Speaker 1

28:00
Speaker 2
okay. yes okay understand the release or reset button. and you mentioned that you're using your computer right? all right. and this computer mem is it connected wire directly to the router or connecting wireless? wireless okay all right. that's way that's way that mm-hmm.
28:00
Speaker 1
router to work for it to work okay. I just want to make sure I'm I'm saying the right things. Oh so something should have happened. Uh there's a blinking light. Yeah on the uh the light is yellow. Oh on top of the router. Well there's no there's no light. The only light's Wait a minute. Okay. I hope I'm doing the right thing here.
29:00
Speaker 2
uh, uh, uh, Yes. Um, uh. Okay. yeah, let's wait for about two to three minutes until it's done starting up. and can you tell me mam, what's the light color of the router right now? is it still blinking white? on top of it, on top of the router?
29:00
Speaker 1
Now, the other one, the other box underneath is the Samsung, right? Wait a minute. Did I press, I think I pressed the wrong button. I did. I had the wrong, uh, box. I'm holding the other one down right now. So there's two boxes here. That's what's confusing me. it says internet and the button's bigger on it.
30:00
Speaker 2
So you have two boxes. One is Linksys and the other one is for what? [silence]
30:00
Speaker 1
I put, yeah, I put the bottom one, yeah, and it's, it says power, says power light came on. and [silence] when I reset it, the power, it says power on it and that came up. Let's see here. It's, um, I think so I'm sorry, I just don't know anything about oh,
31:00
Speaker 2

32:00
Speaker 1
so frustrating. it's saying your device can only access other devices on your local network. I don't know what that means. oh well, nothing. try it again there. I thought sure maybe it was just the power
33:00
Speaker 2
When you select a Wi-Fi name, ma'am, is it asking for a password? All right. Can you turn off your Wi-Fi, ma'am, and then turn it back on? [silence]

And, um, right underneath it says show available networks. And, and it says the Lansky. And it says Lansky connected. And it says the mechanical key, and the mechanical key is connected, and it's six bars. And it's got my password and everything. But I can't get it to. And it says Lansky with a cyber security with a password, but it says it's connected. And I just took another laptop from another website, didn't it? It's actually connected right now because we're connected. I just tried to do another email on the internet. Let's see. And it says you're connected to the network. And it just says you're connected to the password. Mark it. And it says you're connected to the network. I just connected to it. I press the button here, and it goes down. I just printed this, and I emailed you, and it's in the mode. So, but actually, I haven't seen it here. Sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm not sure what I'm saying here. BLANK_AUDIO

41:00
Speaker 2

41:00
Speaker 1
Yep. It's, yeah, it's already on there. And then it says, uh, some apps might work differently to reduce the metered connection random hardware and that's, I'm just, I don't know what to do. I'm probably just going to have to have somebody come in, but who do I get? I have no family, nothing. I just lost the last of my family. I know it's so awful at my age. But I'm alone. I lost my son.
