Thank you for calling Linksys. This is Zappy. How can I help you? I'm good, sir. Thank you. Yes, how can we help you today? Uh, that would be $11.
06:00
Speaker 1
Oh, 11. Okay. All right. What time is it, bae? [silence] 9:00. You want me to go ahead and fix it? Uh, internet? Fix the remote? [silence] Okay. Ma'am, okay, can you pull my uh, profile up with my number? Yes, ma'am. Yes. Place of art. Yes. Yes. I just purchased, uh, I forgot when, uh, about a week ago. [silence] It hadn't even been a week, I don't think. Anyway, uh, go ahead.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yes sir. Eastern Standard Time? Yes sir. Yes sir. Let me just check if I can pull up your record. Okay, so this is Earl Aldridge, right? Okay, and email address is Earl Earls Place of Art at gmail.com. So you have an MX 6200 router. Correct? Yes. And you have two nodes in total, right?
07:00
Speaker 1
the new notes, and I added the old child notes as extenders. Okay. Now, that's where we are. So, I called in once the notes arrived, the new notes arrived. And I was on the phone with a technician there at Linksys, and she walked me through everything. And I kept asking her, I'm not really comfortable with the way things, you know, the way the setups are, you know, everything that she was having me perform. And, I mean, I've done it anyway, because I've called Linksys before and did some troubleshooting. I've paid Lingis when my system got out of warranty. And the way the technicians handled things, I can tell when I,
08:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Hmm. Interesting.
08:00
Speaker 1
when I'm working with someone that's knowledgeable on what they're doing because it flows, you know. Uh, but anyway, my, my problem is this. My system is worse and, and, and it was worse after we got off the phone. Uh, it's not working properly. It almost worked like a broadband, uh, uh, Internet in the house. And it's not functioning right. And I didn't have time to call back. I'm just now having time to call back because of the way my, my job works. But, um, so right now, like I said, uh, my camera systems are off, uh, in the house. And, uh, our, our internet is, is not, not working properly throughout the house. So that's where I'm at right now. Right. Yeah, our internet's working fine. Uh,
09:00
Speaker 2
Oh, okay. Okay. So, the internet is working. It's just that your internet is not working properly. You have a connection.
09:00
Speaker 1
Excuse me. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it'll work. Yeah, it'll work. And it's like off and on. Even when we're watching TV, we'll get this spinning wheel that it's thinking. It's almost like I don't know if we have a slow I don't know what it is, but it's like we have the internet is not working. Is not behaving properly. And it's supposed to be. Our old system that I did away with, was working a lot better than what we have now. And this new Linksys that I got is supposed to be light years better. And we're not we're not getting that. They're on. Yes. They're like a turquoise blue. [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You have a connection right now? The Internet is up and running, right? It's just that um yeah, but right now all the nodes are um connected. They're they're blue uh the parent node and the child nodes, all the nodes. Yes, okay. So how many notes you have in total, including the the child nodes, parent note? So five. Okay, and they're all connected right now.
10:00
Speaker 1
[silence] and we have one in the theater room. I don't have those hooked up because I never got the uh notes working properly. Three. Three. That is correct. Okay. Okay. Uh yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes, let me go to the room and turn it on.
12:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so, but right now, all in all, how many nodes are um, turned on and working? So, three. Yes, the other two are turned off, right? Okay. All right, so here's what we're going to do, sir, since you're having intermittent connection, um, I may need to verify if you've got the latest firmware on the parent node and uh I may need to adjust some settings from there. Okay. Uh, do you have any computer available for us to access the web interface?
12:00
Speaker 1
Can you hear me? Okay. I'm out, I'm gonna put my, uh, earpiece in, so I can have my hands, box. Okay. That solves it. That solves it. That solves it. Now, man, the, uh, the computer that I'm using is sitting next to the modem. And it's, well, anyway, it's running slow because of the internet. Um, the, I guess it's, I don't know if it's the, uh, the way the internet is running slow. But, uh, I got it on. It's just gonna take a minute to boot up. Excuse me. Say it again. [silence] Yes, yes, yes. Yes, I called them and uh they did everything on their end and they said uh everything is fine on there end. [silence] Yes, yes. They they sent some uh signals and they picked up the uh equipment uh uh. So it boiled down to they told me I needed to call the providers for the uh router. [silence] Uh the new modem, I talked to tech support the tech support people for the router which is the Nighthawk Nighthawk. I talked to them. They did everything, they're troubleshooting.
13:00
Speaker 2
Did you by the way verify your connection from Comcast? Is their uh connection is okay? Because you're the main connect. Uh did you uh check this as well with Comcast? Because you have Comcast as your internet provider. Okay. So you run some tests with Comcast.
14:00
Speaker 1
So now from both of those companies they're pointing the finger to the Router to have it checked. Yeah, that's my modem. Yes, that's uh, not router, modem. Modem. That's the new modem. All of this started when when Comcast came and they _ugraded_ their system outside the house. They upset uh uh upgraded their system and the router that I had at the time could not keep up with uh the new system because that modem I had at the time was like 15, 20 years old. So that's when I upgraded the modem to the night hog and I was using the older No, I know I purchased I bought it myself. Okay, so [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so you also have a Netgear Nighthawk, router, or that's your modem? Okay. Okay. Okay. So they provide you the modem. Oh, okay. Yeah, because I believe this, that gear,
15:00
Speaker 1
i don't know. but uh, they they they do they do know that I have, uh, they know my setup when I talk to them and they did their, you know, everything that they needed to do, which was run and fine. Now I got, like I said, the Netgear, the uh the Nighthawk. Once I used it with the old system, the system was running a lot better. But now when the the new linksys came in, uh they, the newer 6200s came in, that's when I started having all the problems. So I don't know. I'm just trying to, I'm trying to figure it out. uh the computer is still booting up. Mhm.
16:00
Speaker 2
Hawk? Where did you ask? Where did we get Hawk?
16:00
Speaker 1
Now, you said, you're saying that, you're saying that, I'm trying to understand what you're saying now. Are you, are you referring to the modem? Okay. Okay. Is it, yes. Hum. Hum. I'm still waiting for it to boot up. Yeah, I'm still waiting for it to boot up. I'm telling you, the internet, internet is really behaving strange. I didn't, it used to run this slow. I think that is, Hum, yeah, it's hooked up. I'm still waiting for it to boot. It's almost behaving like this is a broadband. I have broadband internet service. So, do you have [silence]
17:00
Speaker 2
Hey, sorry. Run that Max 6, 200 and then- Yeah, to- the Nodeknight root mode board. Yep. the night Paul mode. Is it connected to the Internet board? Okay, okay. All right. Okay, so can we go now to your computer church and open, um, a browser? Oh, okay.
17:00
Speaker 1
I'll slow this down. Just running right away in. It's coming, it's just taking its time. So you're thinking this is the problem with this Nighthawk? You think it's a, it's, it has the capability of uh, uh, router and you think it's interfering with the? Lacey's router? No. Yes. Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. Sorry, let me put my glasses on.
18:00
Speaker 2
[silence] It is a modem router, sir. This is a modem router, not just the plane modem. It says here Netgear Nighthawk routers. [silence] It's a router. Does it have an antenna? Do you have the model number for that Netgear?
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I appreciate your patience. Okay. Model number, ready? He is in cat. M is in man. 2-0-5-0. B is victor. Sure. Computer's still booting up, just getting there. Okay.
19:00
Speaker 2
No, no, no worries. Appreciate your time. Yes. I'm just going to check this one. Hold on.
19:00
Speaker 1
Is that bad or good? Okay. So, it is a, it's not a router. It's just a modem. Good, good, good, good, good, good. It's just, it just popped up. Uh, just give it a few it's minutes. It's still loading up. uh, let's see. Is it there? You want me to go to, um, uh, No, I don't have, I have, uh, I have, uh, Firefox and I have Google Chrome. Does it matter? Okay. All right. It's taking a minute.
20:00
Speaker 2
there be fire Okay. Yeah, it's actually a cable modem. Yeah, it's just a plain modem. That's fine. It's not a router. It's not a modem router. So it's just a plain modem. Okay, so do you have the computer ready? Is it powered on now? Yeah, let's just open it. uh just use Google Chrome please. which silly ears. Yeah. [silence]
20:00
Speaker 1
Right. I can feel, by the way, this computer's acting now, behaving. I mean, even with the older system, the way it was set up. Yeah, it... Uh, I have one that-- I have one down in the uh studio, but, uh, I mean, it-- it's going to be-- it's-- it's going to be fine. Once it's up, it-- it'll be fine. Yeah. Slow for slow.
22:00
Speaker 2
Yes, we actually have different methods to, you know, to fix the to resolve the issue. So, maybe that time, you know, um, just so happened that the some devices, some of your devices are not cooperating. So, it's quite taking some time. Is that the only computer you have available? Do you have another one? Okay, no problem. okay yes on the address bar type in HTTP colon slash slash I believe you have done this with already 192 okay they have signed the 192 uh-huh
22:00
Speaker 1
You excited, Emma? Yeah. Okay, there it is there. Now, this is the page that came up 12, I mean 192.1 68. 1 that ain't what you want. Oh, here it is here, 162, 1 I mean, 192. 168.1. 1.

[silence] yeah when you open up speedtest that do you have the option to click on go to run the speed test yes just click go [silence] okay [silence]
39:00
Speaker 1
1GB yeah okay the download the speed test is still running so you're paying no the computer's not new it's it's not fairly old either I I have to Windows 10 Windows 10 okay it just did the test let's see try testing for Windows let's see let me get out of here the speed test it just showed me
40:00
Speaker 2
I want to know how much did you how much speed did you subscribe from Comcast? It's one gig. Is it is this a new computer, sir? What's the operating system? Is it running on Windows 10, Windows 11. That is Windows 10, okay. Still running the test right now?
40:00
Speaker 1
No, I saw the results, let me get out of this, I just saw the results it was like come on, what what are you doing, get out of this, okay, speed test, ping is 537 point zero six, upload is 330, uh 340 point eight seven, yes, what is that
41:00
Speaker 2
So 340 Mbps. Okay. Yeah, that's actually, uh, yeah, that's, it's actually, uh, a good connection. Uh, since you're wirelessly connected to the uh, to the router, it's not hardwired. For hardwired, um, yeah, that's, that's one Gbps. But for
41:00
Speaker 1
Now now my uh now the the um computer is connected by the ethernet into the mode into the parent router. Yeah, yes. Yes, it's wired directly to the uh the uh um modem um the parent. No. Yes. Yes. Yes, let me see. Yes. You have, on the parent note, you have a ethernet that's marked yellow that's going into the modem and then the ethernet right above that going right into the computer, the desktop computer.
42:00
Speaker 2
Oh, it's hardwired to the router, it's not wireless. To the parent node, to one of the numbered ports, right?
42:00
Speaker 1
wanted to get rest There's a company, Comcast a call. No, everything's the Internet remember. I said everything then went out, I have to.
43:00

43:00
Speaker 1
[ Silence ] Hello. [ Silence ] um. Yeah. [ Silence ] I'm there. [ Silence ] There's a uh note uh it says personalization works best with the limited internet uh internet connection. We recommend turning turning it off if your speed is 2000
45:00
Speaker 2
all right, so we're on the setup page. I mean we're on the uh-oh smart Wi-Fi tools page, right? okay, now can you- can kindly go back to priority? And do you see there the uh we are prioritizing your devices based on speed? Can we click on that option? No?
45:00
Speaker 1
MBPs or greater. I don't see that you're asking for up to three priority devices not online. Okay, I don't see what you're asking me. I don't see that everything else is grayed out. Yeah, because right under priority, there's a window which I read it says personalization works best with limited internet connection. And underneath that, everything is grayed out. I see that there's a menu. No, there's nothing there. But I see where it says priority. I see arrows, but they grayed out. I see where priority is currently showing [silence] being locked on. Okay. I'm locked on two currently.
46:00
Speaker 2
below the, everything's grayed out. Yeah. [silence] So, do you have an option like reset priority, something like that, and below it, there are, [silence] You don't see an arrow.

Speaker 1
No, it's not. It just says, I got, I got some fields to click. It says, test with cloud server. Can we click on what? Which one do you want? I got, I have, okay. I have test.withfast.com. Yes, I have those two options.
50:00
Speaker 2
sure. OK, and is it testing the speed right now? OK, can we click on test? Best. What are your options? you have? OK, so test with Cloud Fair or test with Pestbomb.biz. OK, let's try first the Cloud Fair. OK, let's just let's check first the cloud fair all compare the uh
50:00
Speaker 1
Okay. sure. It's, uh, I clicked on it. I guess it's thinking. I don't see anything. But I see in the address bar, it says speed.cloudflare.com. Okay. Here we go. Start. Let's see, when let's see when you run speed test, your IP address will be shared with Cloudflare. Okay. Start. All right. It's running.
51:00
Speaker 2
the speed tests, the results on both.
51:00
Speaker 1
All right. Download speed, 289. Upload, 276. 276.
52:00

Speaker 1
I don't think so. I mean, I've watched Hey, Felicia. Are we having uh problems? Do you see problems with the other TVs? Are we set to one in the living room? Huh? Oh, no one's been watching them. We've been having issues. Um now the one um the one the one the one that's in the living room has the new 6200 file notes in it. Yeah, and and that one that's a smart TV there.
56:00
Speaker 2
three smart TVs and you're having the same issues with the three smart TVs? Yeah, the reason why we, yeah, go ahead. Yes. How far is that? How far is the child node from the parent node? Because you also need to consider the other... [silence]
56:00
Speaker 1
Okay, here's the issue I have with that. With the older notes, there was never an issue. The distance weren't that issue. According to from my research, this router is supposed to be light years ahead of, you know, the older router, but I'm not getting that service. It to me is acting like a bad broadband. And and uh the distance, the distance from the parent node to the child node, I'd say it's about if I had to guess, uh, let's see, 20, maybe 30 feet.
57:00
Speaker 2
Okay, but have you tried relocating the child nodes, and checking if you'll get a reading.
57:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. I... Okay. Okay. All right. I don't think that's an issue. it wasn't an issue with the older ones, it's in the same exact place. If this one is... if this one is supposed to be like the other one... Okay. All right. I mean... Okay. I mean, we'll try it. I'm I'm I'm here. All right. I'm back. Where you want me to go? The device list? Let's see. It's online. Yes ma'am. [silence] [silence] Okay. Okay. Okay. So [silence]
58:00
Speaker 2
get the better connectivity uh... because uh... maybe the child node is actually getting if can we try to go back to the user interface? try to go back to device list. We'll check the RSSI signal of that child node, okay? Yes, I understand, but it's it's actually a different model. Yes, I know that. Okay. Yeah, go to device list and do you see the child running? There, is it on? [silence] Yes, it's running, so can we click on that and check the wireless [silence]
58:00
Speaker 1
Wonderful. Yes. Okay. I'm there. What am I looking for? Let me look. Uh, so, name, Manufacturer, model number, OS, firmware version. I don't see anything that says what am I looking for. I don't see that on here. No where. Nope. I see right up underneath all that up underneath firmware version, I see IP address, LAN1, and then you know,
59:00
Speaker 2
Like the signal strength on that child node? Do you see signal strength? Do you see signal strength? [silence] No signal strength?
59:00
Speaker 1
It's just the same thing is IP six addresses. I.N. uh, Lan. Yeah, I see nothing like that. Let me check. [silence] Have an iPhone. Let me see if I have it. Linksys app. What is it? I could check.

67:00
Speaker 1

Speaker 2
Yes, click on that device and are you able to see if it's connected to the main node or to the child node? Connected to link sys 0-4968. Well, it's actually connected to the child node cuz the your parent node is the 966. No, it's not actually connected. It's actually connected to the correct node. It's even connected to the best node since, yeah, it's. It's the no that's near to the, uh, to the device, to the wireless device.
