My name is Dylan. How can I help you today? [silence] You know, but I've actually ordered two routers with you and both of them have to deal with one issue that it's got and that is that whenever I do a speed test, I get about about 500 KBs which is an okay speed. But when I do measure speed test, I get about 2 mbps which is a really slow speed and I'm just wondering why it's doing that? Yeah. Okay, um, like, what, what is like, what model of router you have? Do you have WR 20 or? uh yes sir for out of warranty devices we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance but we do have this ongoing support through our paid connect service for a one-time fee of a $15 will [silence] um Oh. Um, right now, sir, we don't sell our product directly. And most of our products are being sold through online retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart online, or even in local stores like Target and Walmart. But uh we do [silence] is that correct? Yes, sir. I totally understand, but we're not uh selling directly in the US uh at the moment. So we yeah, unfortunately, sir, that's um that's how it is at the moment. Mhm. Yes. Yes, sir. We understand that one and we really appreciate your constant support with [silence]
00:00
Speaker 1
Well, I like dealing direct and what I just, man, that's about enough for me to stop dealing and that'd be a sad deal because I've been dealing with you guys for many, many years and I'd like to keep doing that. Man, but I don't want to go to a a second or third party. I want to deal direct. That's always the best deal.
03:00
Speaker 2
but then again, we are not selling our product directly. So our products are being sold through online retailers or local stores. So if you want to check mm mm Hmm. Yes, sir. Uh yes, sir. Yeah. Although you're not dealing with us directly, but we also, so I mean, we still support any products that are being sold through online retailers or through retailers. So in the event that you
03:00
Speaker 1
Well, okay, you, do you have records of me still? On my system? I'm Jimmy Gerald Ellis, my, my phone number you can look, or I got another phone number. Can you look and see if I'm still in the system? Yeah, that's me. Yeah, the 9101, and that's the one I want. Okay. How much, and now, in order for me to get the high powered nose? [background conversation]
04:00
Speaker 2
Hi. Yes, sir, we do. Have a uh, yes, yes. Yes, sir, yes, sir. You still have a case here in our record, and I'm Mr. Jimmy Alice and your phone number. Yeah, the phone number that is associated here is the one that you're using right now. Yes, yes, sir. So... um, but...
04:00
Speaker 1
like, what I got, what you, are you, you still selling them nodes, or whatever? You know, and I got three or four of them, but, uh, I had one that went bad. And I was thinking, well, maybe I could, uh, get one note up and get back up, but I was thinking about just going ahead and buy, how much, even though I got to go through Best Buy, how much is a Nova, uh, highstring internet like what I've had before with these no, that I've got now? How much are they, and I can trying to get around. Uh, roundabout ballpark.
05:00
Speaker 2
mm-hmm yes sir yes sir mm-hmm uh right now um well um it depends on the model sir but if you want the the one that that has a best best um um connectivity with
05:00
Speaker 1
And those are notes too. And the best, okay, let me write that down, cuz God, man, I hate, I gotta drive 30-some odd miles. You try to get a hold of, uh, uh, Best Buy or whatever. And it's, and where I'm in, Peplo, I'm in, or Florence, but I gotta drive all the way to Peplo, and I can't get with DM Direct or whatever. See, and that's what I said. It's kind of a sad deal. And let me write, let me write some information down, because I'm gonna, I'm gonna want, yeah, cuz you see the notes system I got, right? Um,
06:00
Speaker 2
uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah. Yeah, actually, I totally understand that. Mm. Yes, sir. You got the HW-0,
06:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Well, and then uh do you got them where uh they come in a uh three pack or something like that like what I got last time? Yeah, cuz uh I'm trying to find a piece of paper where I can write all this down. Hell, my scratch pad's man. Or, alright, I'll find some paper. Then I'll write down.
07:00
Speaker 2
accept really good assurance that it can provide you a seamless connectivity with the latest mesh technology on it and each of the node can cover up up to 3000 sq ft. but it's a lot but I I have. Yes sir, they uh it's available in three pack, two pack and one pack. [click noise]
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Develop. develop. Pro. Okay, 6E. 6E, what now? Okay, there's nothing else after that. [silence]
08:00
Speaker 2
Yes sir. You can look for the VPI select 6e.
08:00
Speaker 1
Is that Noves? Well, which is the best, the Seven or what? Well, Howie, what do you mean? I want I need to hook it up to Spectrum, my cable company. So what is that?
09:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Yes, sir. They're all notes. [silence] If you have a device that supports Wi-Fi 7, [silence] sir, it the best would be the Velop Pro 7. [silence] But if your devices, sorry, [silence] Yes, sir. What I meant with the Velop, with the Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 7, is that's actually the the latest Wi-Fi standard. [silence] So it's a lot faster, because most of the devices are just using Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E, which can already cover by the Velop Pro 6E. But those devices, the latest devices that was released on the market, [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
What about my TV? [silence] I I I got a Samsung TV that's about a year old. Will that seven will support my TV? [silence] Well I'm using my with the Oh with the notes that I got now, I was using it on my Samsung TV. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Get like the iPhone 17, iPhone 16 or any other devices that are that were just released last or this year last year is already supporting the Wi-Fi 7. So it's a different like um uh standard, so it's a standard which technically is a lot faster. Um. No, sir. Uh the the TVs can only uh can only I mean it doesn't have a standard. So most of the the standards were being uh used by the the computers, the phones and the laptops. So TVs are mm-hmm Mm-hmm [silence] um yes, sir it would always work, sir with the TVs smart TVs so you don't have to worry about it regardless of the standard because it's backward compatible yeah it's backward compatible so if you say it has a Wi-Fi 7 it can already cover the Wi-Fi 6 and the Wi-Fi 5 yes, sir, it would.
10:00
Speaker 1
pane for the three lanes that i got from you guys before and that would be for ae je even the develop seven seven right yeah i want to top of the line so i'd want to get that seven right Okay
12:00
Speaker 2
As for the price, we don't really have the visibility on it, but for estimation, it costs like $350 for three nodes $300 to $350. Yeah, the Vellup 7 and Vellup 6E. It ranges from that price range. Yeah. But it would, I think, it's kind of hard to look for the Wi-Fi. I mean, the Vellup Pro 7' cuz it's almost sold out. And it's I mean it's almost out of stocks on some of the online or local stores. But you can try your luck if you
12:00
Speaker 1
how much is the insurance? Yeah, but how much for extended one to your answer? Okay, then. All right, then. I'm gonna go ahead and get off the phone and see if I got. I want to seven, but there's plenty sixes, right? But I want the seven and it's a stronger. It's a stronger modem, right? Okay. All right. Oh, I want to the get. Now when I called links before, okay.
13:00
Speaker 2
0:00:04 can still find it Sir, but is the the event that you aren't able to find. Um, it's it's uh under three year warranty. Uh, we don't have that options Sir, ah like the extended warranty because um each devices only has three year warranty. That depends on the the retailers. Okay, Sir. That's good. Uh uh. Yeah, Sir.
