It says it's a tri band mesh Wi-Fi router, but I need to, what I'm hooking to needs to be at 2.4 GHz. And I don't see that as an option. Can you tell me... [silence] Okay.
01:00
Speaker 2
Yes, uh? Uh? Uh? Uh? Uh? I know, uh, by default, the frequency bands like 2.4 5 gigahertz and 6 gigahertz are interconnected. If you say that it's tri-band, it's either... it consists of two... 2.4 gigahertz or two 5 gigahertz rings. For example, you got 2.4 5 gigahertz 1 5 gigahertz 2 or either 2.4 gigahertz 5 gigahertz or 6 gigahertz. It depends on the model. But by default, they are interconnected and is in one network. So, in order for you to separate it, you need to change the Wi-Fi? basic setting inside your access point. Yeah, correct. Since you are inside a different frequency. So, basically, you need to segregate it. If you wanted to segregate it, what you can do is just change the default. So, it will make it faster on your end since you are in your wired connection and then, look at... the basic tab. The basic tab make, make, oh, follow the one, two, three, four.

05:00
Speaker 1
All right. All West Mhm I've got a quick, can I ask you a question while you're looking at that? Can I ask you a question while you're and you're multitasking? Okay.
06:00
Speaker 2
All right. 7731. All right. Thank you so much for that one, sir. And let me just um, check it here. And by the way, you man, who's your internet service provider? All West. All right. Thank you so much. And uh, let me just input all the information here. Just bear with me, sir. [silence] I'm sorry. [silence] Um, I am inputting all the information sir here in your record to create the case.
06:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. It's a it's a it's a that's correct. It's a camera and they only it only allows 2.4 connection. And so here's a question. If it's tri band, will it be able to link into that or does have to be separated out. um based on the cameras requirement. Okay. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. By the way, right now it's working fine, right? You got internet connections, [silence]. Just that you are unable to [silence]. Connect your some of your devices [silence]. To the network to the point where [silence]. Mhm. Yeah. Okay. Um [silence]. Yes, sir. Um, sometimes devices [silence]. Some devices are unable to locate the 2.4 when uh they are interconnected with the 5 gigahertz due to the conflict. Yeah. Um, so, okay. So, uh I've checked here your router's information, sir. And just to set your expectation, the Linksys router that you have right now is actually already part of our end of life devices, which means we no longer manufacture this one and update its firmware. And also, it shows here that your device warranty had already expired way back 2023. And, um, Wow. Uh-huh. Hmm. I see. Hmm.
07:00
Speaker 1
I've just always bought Linksys and um so I a long time ago but okay maybe I just need to do it online I can't do it on my the app on my phone Okay well Yeah Okay I should've I guess I should've tried that but I was hoping okay well I should be able to
09:00
Speaker 2
However, sir. Yeah. Uh-uh. It's okay, sir. Um, let me just, uh, you know, it's actually so easy, sir. You just need to access the the web user interface. The Linksys web UI. Have you ever tried that one? Yes, sir. You cannot use, yeah, you cannot, um, through your phone. You need to configure it first to the web UI, and it will show up on your Linksys app so that you'll have a control to it. Yes, normally what's showing on the Linksys app is just the, you know, the common settings. So if you need further configuration on the router, it needs to be done to the web user interface. Mm-mm. Yeah,
09:00
Speaker 1
figure that figure that out. Oh, that'd be great. Okay. All right. Thank you. All right. Bye.
10:00
Speaker 2
it's okay, sir, but yeah, I can send you actually an email, sir, on how you can do that. And um, yes, sir. So, I will just send you the email right after this call. Just give me at least three to five minutes. All right, sir. You're very much welcome, sir. And thank you so much for calling and thanks for this. Have a great day and take care. Bye for now.
