I called Spectrum. I got the modem and everything tested and that's all working. So, it has to do with the router. Ever since I got it. So, a couple weeks ago. Yeah, I was, like, trying to figure it out. It lags like it kicks me out of like my online gaming. And sometimes it says like, I've, like, I've done all the resets. I've plugged them in together. I've synced them. Everything's kind of like running slow. So it's like, even the phone is lagging a little bit.

By the way, Ms. Whitney can I also please have your active email address? Okay, thank you so much. Because what I'm actually doing right now is I'm actually creating a record holding this on conversation so that whenever you need to call us back the next representative can easily pull up your record okay um just give me one moment mmm huh and uh you mentioned that you have already uh reset the router like for how many seconds did you press and hold the uh reset button miss Whitney
03:00
Speaker 1
Well, I did it one by hand. I like unplugged it, but I also just reset it from the app.
05:00
Speaker 2
Oh, okay. From the app. Okay. Okay. Miss Whitney, the reference of this conversation, the ticket number is 1 3 5 1 4 0. Okay. And um. Um, by the way, Miss Whitney, where did you purchase this router? Did you purchase this from Amazon?
05:00
Speaker 1
No, I got it from a friend. So basically it's an outdated router. And so that's why the internet's not working.
06:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry. okay. You got it from a friend. Yes, I did actually check it here, Ms. Whitney. So the, uh router that you have, um, it's actually one of our router that is no longer receiving any updates. Um, and the support of this router also, uh Ms. Whitney, just to set up proper expectation also ended last December 4th of 2023. Now, we cannot longer provide support for this router, but you can visit the official website of Linksys because there is an AI Agent there that you could ask any question and it can also provide some troubleshooting instructions that you could just follow. And that website is, uh correct.
06:00
Speaker 1
He replies they do very well selling phones, TVs and online gaming, like a PS5.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, cause this router is no longer receiving any updates as well. um, your modem may actually like, you know, kinda up dated and the since the router is now, so of course, it really cannot perform it. really cannot cope up with your modem. So, what I can really advise is maybe you can like, you know, uh get a new router, which is actually um, what are the devices that are that is using this router or are being connected? um, when you say like online gaming, like, are you using some uh third party devices to play? Like Yeah, okay, a PS5. So yes. Uh you might really need to get a new router. So the router that you may actually need to consider or maybe maybe uh the one.
07:00
Speaker 1
Any discounts you can give me on one? No discounts.
08:00
Speaker 2
Wi-fi 6 routers. Because since PS5 can connect to the, let me just double check it. So, uh, yeah, so since a PlayStation 5 can actually connect to the 5 GHz bandwidth, which is actually the much more recommended, um, Wi-Fi band, and, uh, the router that you have is actually totally, like, you know, really outdated. So, yeah, you might really need to get a new one, Miss Whitney. Well, I can recommend you some routers, but regarding with this one, I'm sorry?
08:00
Speaker 1
I just, yeah, they're just, they're expensive and the only reason I went with this router is because my friend sold it to me for really cheap, which now makes sense. She said everything works fine with it because Spectrum charges $10 a month for their their router. Yes. Okay. Okay, well thank you for your help. [silence]
