00:00
Speaker 1
Oh, okay. [silence] Yep. [silence] Yeah, sure. When you say the the router, you mean the I've got three boxes, right? I've got three nodes. Is that what you mean? Um, [silence] Yeah. [silence] Yep. Uh serial number is so the model number is uh Whiskey Hotel Whiskey [silence] 01.

Uh, yeah. It's, uh, solid red. I haven't pressed there's a... Yeah. There's a reset on the bottom, right? Okay. Okay.
04:00
Speaker 2
So, right now, sir, what is the LED light that is coming from the router that is connected directly to the internet source? Can you please reset? Yes, there's a reset button at the bottom. Kindly press and hold that reset button for 15 seconds. So, the light in top of that little tower will start flicking. So, do not let go of the reset button, not unless it turns off, and it's not yet 15 seconds.
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, I mean, let's check, we should be getting a solid purple from this router once the reset has been successful made.
05:00
Speaker 1
slashing red. Um. Yep. Yep. Yep. Mhm. who is it or how is it? it's uh it's it's B- um it's BT. I work for the UK. it's BT. um I mean is that were you? Yeah. British Telecom. Yeah. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Uh huh. And then it will slowly blink or pulse up until it went off. So uh just leave it like that sir then you can now let go of the reset button. Because after you perform it, the router will reboot and that reboot process will take for about two to three minutes. So while waiting, um, who is your new internet service provider sir? Who is it sir? Like, is it like community fiber? I'm sorry. Okay. British Telecom. Okay. Thank you so much.
06:00
Speaker 1
No, it's brand new. The router's brand new. You mean the Lynxness router or the, yeah? I think it's about 2021, yes, yes, that's probably when I bought it. Yeah. Yet. it's still, still pulsing. It's still pulsing blue.
07:00
Speaker 2
Much? And this router, sir, do you have this one like before, I mean, like around September 16 of 2021 or in that year? No, this new. Right. Okay. Okay. So right now, sir, are the the one that is directly connected to your modem or to the internet source, are we getting now a solid purple color or is it still pulsing? It's it's pulsing. Ticking. Ticking. Okay. So, yeah, let's just wait for it, and then we'll, then we, uh, below. Okay. Uh, actually just, I'm just checking some setting on this side, and then, uh, yeah, let's see if it works.
07:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I've got it. Yeah, I've got it. I mean, I've got it plugged into the mains, obviously, and I've got it also plugged into the I've got a I've got a cable plugged into it, an ethernet cable, which is from there from the node to the from the to the BTEA T router. Okay. Now it's just gone. No. Yeah. Yep.
08:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Sir. Me. And can. Can you please also make sure, sir, that the Ethernet cable that is running from your Linksys Router to the BPT Router, at the end of the Linksys Router, could you make sure that the Ethernet cable is plugged in on top of the reset button, sir, or below the reset button?
08:00
Speaker 1
Well, the reset button is on the base of the unit. I've got two. I've got two sockets, two ports, yeah. I've got it in the top hand one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, okay. And press reset again. No, okay. Okay, it's still showing solid red on the top. Magenta.
09:00
Speaker 2
Yes that is at the base of the unit. Now the ethernet cable is connected or plug in on top of that. Yeah you get two ports. Yes. Yeah you have two ports. Uhm. So can we use the other one the one that is on top of the reset button? Uhm. Plug in the ethernet cable on that port. I don't know. Uhm. Not anymore. So um is it really red uh like something like uh magenta color.
09:00
Speaker 1
Yep. Okay, hold on, I can see that. Bell up set up three nine three or DHP. Yep, okay, yep. Now I'm asking, I'm being asked for a password. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
sir may can you uh check in the wi-fi settings of your phone if you can see the default SSID of this lynx router? You should be seeing: _Belup setupBaseD8BD8B. Need the D8 BD Dog number eight and then Bandit. Okay? For password, yes, the password that you need to connect is underneath the lynx routers.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. How do you mean. Yeah. Snap. Yup. Hang on. I've just put the password in. Um um um. No. No, it didn't like that. I've got on the bottom. Okay, so on the bottom of my Linksys node for the router, the name is V LPS393, not 88B. Should I choose that one?
11:00
Speaker 2
How do you usually manage your Linksys router? Like how do you manage the router? Are you using an app or are you using the web browser? An app. Okay can you open up your app Sir? Mhm
11:00
Speaker 1
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, I'll try, I'll try that password. Hang on. Okay. Okay. Oh yeah. Sorry. Sorry. I can't. I can't. I don't think that that is a good password. Sorry. Oh, should I just try to bypass the lock screen for you? Okay. Yep.
12:00
Speaker 2
No sir because that is the default Wi-Fi name. And also this is the one that you are using right now to stand as a parent. Now since you have three nodes well maybe the other maybe that Wi-Fi pass or Wi-Fi name that you are seeing from the box is actually from one of the routers since you have three. [silence] Use the password sir that you can see underneath the router that is connected directly to the internet source. [silence] or the one that is hooked up directly to the BT.
12:00
Speaker 1
No, it's telling me incorrect password. Maybe I need to... Beautiful. [silence] Yep. Yep.
13:00
Speaker 2
Let's make sure sir that we enter the right password combination since it's key sensitive. [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] Sorry Ian. [silence] The other two nodes that you have.
13:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Okay. Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
can you turn them off for the meantime? if you plug them in turn, turn those two off and uh, let's focus first on setting up the uh, this one, this one that is, um hooked up directly to your, your BT, or to your, Brete[tone down]telecom. So, um, instead of trying to connect your phone, sir, um, can we go back to the, cause what we actually call this router, if it is, um, hooked up directly to the internet source, we call it a parentmode. So, um, so this parentmode, sir, can you pick it up, and then I want you to press again the reset button of this parentmode but this time, don't do it for too long.
15:00
Speaker 1
down there okay now i've got like a yellow yellowish flashing light okay got you
16:00
Speaker 2
00:00:00,000 --> 00:18:680,000
16:00
Speaker 1
okay. Yeah, I've got like a solid aquamarine now. Okay. Yep, okay. Okay.
17:00
Speaker 2
Blue. So I'll just give it a few minutes. That LED light will change. I don't, but it'll go back to green. Okay? But let's just wait for it.
17:00
Speaker 1
Yes. I've got Zalubep setup D8B. Okay. Okay, now let's - Lidja ain't connected. Okay, with our password. Weep. Yep. We've can. On the paranokes. Yes.
18:00
Speaker 2
so while waiting for that, one sir, can we go back to your phone and check all of the available network? If you can still say the underscored setup. Okay, that's good. Now I want you to connect on that network and use the password that you can see under the parent node. Okay. And, um, can you confirm, sir, if if we can still see the green LED color from the router? Okay, yes on the parent now. Now, sir, please open a browser, try to browse on the browser or try to open an app that consumes mobile uh, you know, uh, internet.
18:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. That's working. Okay. I've only got one known available. The other one, I can't find a power for. So I'll turn it on. But I don't have it. All I have is the mains power cord in the back. I don't have anything else connected in the back. Is that correct?
19:00
Speaker 2
Just to make sure that it's already working right now. Okay, so the internet is now working and now this is the time that we can turn on the two child nodes. Sir. Yep. Oh, okay. It's okay. Like, we can work on the other one. Ah yeah, sorry, because this child node can actually work wireless with the parent so you can You're deploying or you can put this child node on another location for as long as it's not too far from her. (up) For as long as it can still communicate or get a connection from the parent, it can work. (out) It still I believe it's still booting up. So give it at least two to three minutes cause later on, it will start pulsing or flickering. Yeah, it will gonna be the wifi name of your Linksys router. But if you want to customize it, we can do it later. Oh yeah, absolutely.
19:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay, now the blue light is pulsing on the test mode. Okay. Okay. Okay, that's very helpful. Thank you. [silence]
21:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So later on Thursday, we cannot find the power cord of the other child node. So I will instead send you a video tutorial on how you can add another child node on your existing uh mesh system. So it's a video tutorial and then the other things on that email are some troubleshooting instruction. Okay. Mhm. Yeah, absolutely. So let's wait for this child node because um we are expecting to have a solid purple.
21:00
Speaker 1
Now it's gone. Yeah, now it's gone Magenta. Yeah. I'll say it three times. Okay? Okay. That's the fourth and it's yellowish now. Yeah. It is, yeah, it is. Okay. Current 0 is
22:00
Speaker 2
Or magenta. Color from this. Okay, it's magenta. So sir, press again the reset button of the parent five times. Yes, of the parent. Okay, and that's the parent. So let's just wait for it. And then you can also observe later that the child node LED will also start pulsing. Okay. Yeah. So let's wait for it cuz Okay, so yeah, right now, let's just wait for the H.L. node to be solid green as well, or blue. Okay. and while we're waiting for it, let me also work with my documentation. Uh, let me know if there are some changes, okay? Thank you so much. sorry sir can we I mean can you reset the child node . [silence] well maybe it's still um trying to connect to the previous parent that was connected to your previous internet service provider so um can you reset the child node
22:00
Speaker 1
Ell down. pressing it five times or? Okay. Okay. that's gone off. Alright, I've released it now. No, it's going blue. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.
25:00
Speaker 2
So, now, press and hold the reset button of the child mode for 15 seconds. So, press and hold it. Wait for the light to start pulsing, up until it turns off. Okay, so let's wait for two or three 4 to 3 minutes because we should be, I mean, we are expecting a magenta or purple color from that child mode after you do the reset.
25:00
Speaker 1
Okay, the child node is pulsing blue now. Yeah. Yeah. [silence] yeah would you give me that ticket number again please 134 yeah
26:00
Speaker 2
By the way, Sir Ian, can I use the dates that I just uh tell you earlier for the warranty start date of your Linksys router, just September 16th of 2021? Okay. So, yeah, I did use it. And by the way, Sir Ian, while waiting for the child node, I just finished creating a ticket for this conversation, and the ticket number is #134093. So, whenever you need to call us back, just give your email address, your phone number, or maybe the ticket number, so that the next representative can easily pull up your record. Okay. Thank you. Oh, yeah, sure. 134003894. [silence]
27:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Now I've got magenta on the solid magenta on the top. I've got magenta on the solid magenta on the top. Okay. I've got that.
28:00
Speaker 2
okay. Now that we have the Magenta, press again the, the reset button of the parent five times. So yes, on the parent. Press release. Press release. The child node to should start recognizing the signal from the parent anymon, anymon, um, any moment by now.

40:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. No, it's still flashing red. Yeah.

42:00
Speaker 1
yep. uh. I'm a. I'm a. I'm a. So with the other, with the third node, the second child node that I haven't plugged in yet, should I, is it basically just a question of plugging it into the mains within the vicinity of the parent node and it'll just hook up the signals? Okay. Okay.
43:00
Speaker 2
either of the two you can use the laptop or the phone okay so let's wait for the child no because it should go back to solid green as well um no sir you still need to do what we did earlier on adding the first one you know the browser extension
43:00
Speaker 1
On the... Okay, so press the parent node five times. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So my, my first child node is still pulsing magenta. I'm happy you were helping me. It's been very useful. I would never have been able to do this myself. [silence]
44:00
Speaker 2
[silence] reset button for five times here. so you can put it under parent. [silence] yeah. but make sure that the second child node is on setup mode or it should have the solid purple or magenta LED light. Thanks Ian. How about we... Oh, I'll set up a timer for that child node. It has been more than a minute already. Let me put up the timer here. Okay.
44:00
