A good morning. Well, hopefully good morning, wherever you are at. Maybe it's good afternoon for you. my name is Elbert. Good evening. Good evening. my name is Elbert. I'm a Linksys customer. And I am trying to I need support in trying to, I guess, activate or downgrade my wireless network from 5G to 2.4 because I have a doorbell that I used to be able to connect. Somehow it's disconnected in good part because it's not able to see a 2.4 screen. That's all I just saw in my computer. So that's what I need help on. I guess I hope I'm in the right spot because I'm looking for some help for a doorbell that they have no idea how to help me with. You guys are the people that helped me set up my system and everything. And I couldn't find anybody that wanted to help me set up my doorbell. So I'm hoping you can find somebody here that's able to help me set up my system to, I guess, see my WI. Is that possible?

For, you know, some older devices, especially small devices. they still use a 2.4. When I go into my LinkSys app to try to enable um, I only have the mixed mode and I was wondering if there's a way just for setting up this device on the network to to force 2.4 or broadcast 2.4. Um, I I I remember this was the case I had before. I don't know if it's with this LinkSys device or a previous one. I've only had LinkSys, but I did have a previous model. And I do remember on my Apple iPhones seeing the 2.4 SSID and then no longer seeing it, but I didn't think much of it because, you know, who who cares about a doorbell, right? [silence] I. I do, I do. Yes. You got it. Speaking? Yes, I am. So. I'll get that from, I can get that from the link this app, correct? Done.

Before we proceed let me just confirm your phone number sir. It's 956-459-6644. This is under Mr. Albert Robledo right? Okay. What's the model number of your Σinder's? Nodular? Sir? Yes.

05:00
Speaker 2
168 dot 1 dot 1 [ silence ] okay it might ask for a router password here since you have the app on your phone you can try to check [ silence ] I'm sorry you can use the password that you usually used to log in on your app
05:00
Speaker 1
[silence] I don't have GCA. [silence] Yes. It has [silence] an end-user license agreement, privacy policy, third-party licenses, [silence] OKLA privacy policy. Yes. I'm in there. I'm there.
07:00
Speaker 2
You don't have but you see the annual user license agreement, privacy statements, right? Okay. Yes, that's it. That's it. That's the last one that you have. Okay. No worry, sure. Kindly go to the left side of the screen, under router settings, okay? Go to Wi-Fi settings. Wi-Fi settings, yes. Under Wi-Fi settings, here you have wireless. Below the wireless option, you have there your Wi-Fi network, which is your 2.4 and your 5 gigahertz. So, I believe right now, sir, you have two same Wi-Fi network, exactly the same. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
Exactly, it's exactly the same, correct. OK. OK Is the number, is the dot like as in two dot four an acceptable character or should I just put 24? OK, I'm OK And all the other settings stay the same, broadcast is Yes, Wi-Fi mode OK, so I'm just all I've done is change the 2.4 gigahertz band Wi-Fi name, I've changed the name to add the two dot four and I'm just going to click apply.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So, for you to change the Wi-Fi for you to separate the Wi-Fi network first, you have to add maybe an extension just for your 2.4. Just leave the 5 GHz the same. Yes, sir. Any will do, sir. as long as we can verify which is the 2.4 and the 5 stays the same. Yes. Password stays the same whatever. Yes. Yes.
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Your router is supplying changes. The action you perform may cause devices to temporarily lose connectivity. This may take a few minutes. Please wait until the operation is complete. And so I'm just got to wait in. Yep. You were right. I could not have gound the setting in the mobile up. Sure. So it completed that. And when I go to my phone, it has not,
09:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Click on apply. Let me know if it will provide you with like an error message, or if it will go back to that page. Okay, click on okay. Continue, yes. Yes, yes, sir. basic apps only have limited troubleshooting, so in the case in the future you will have or you wanted to do some changes on your Wi-Fi settings, or maybe channels or the bandwidth, you can go ahead with this settings instead. Okay. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
sul cast two point four but maybe it's too soon I'm not sure here okay let's turn the Wi-Fi back on now and sure enough I do see sure okay understand yeah for sure like I said I'm only doing this because of [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Try to if it will not show up yet uh after a minute or or maybe a few seconds turn off the Wi-Fi of your phone or your computer and device and uh go to available network. Okay Okay Okay that's good so uh any other things you want to check? Oh by the way Sure for your other devices like your phone computer or uh devices that are capable for 5 GHz just leave it connected to 5 GHz because that will provide you faster internet connection. Okay.
10:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Well, an older, an older doorbell. No, whether I would not really even be wanting to do this. But a, a couple of quick questions here. Go ahead. Go ahead. Hmm. Um, at the bottom, when we, when you started giving me guidance and I think you were expecting a, a certain menu item CA and I said, no, I, I have Um, privacy policy. Can, can I ask what that might mean or suggest? [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] the doorbell. Mm-hmm. Yes, yes, sir. Actually, sir, even, yes, yes, go ahead, sir. Yeah, uh, even newer, uh, models, sir, of doorbells, like the ring and, uh, simply safe, they're only capable for 2.4. So you really have to get, uh, to, uh, to have your 2.4 separate. Yeah, you can go ahead, sir. Yes. Uh-huh. Twitter. Uh-huh. Yes. Oh, yes, sir. Actually, sir, that PA letter, uh, it, uh, letter, sir, we have it before. But then, since we re removed, it's now we can't move, or, or change it.
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I see. Okay. Um, fantastic. One observation, I am not able to access the internet as I am connected to the new two point four broadcast as ID. It's just the internet itself is not coming up. Uh, on my, my phone. Uh, yes, and the iPhone iOS, uh, this is, shows the connection to the two point four as ID, but it does have a message, internet connection. Yes,
12:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So at smartwifi.com that uh ca which is for complete access it's already it's uh we already removed that one from the settings. So instead of clicking on that ca before getting some other settings, we already removed it from the option. Okay. Did you reconnect her and re-add the password? Mm-hmm. Okay. Um, can you try to do forget network, sir? Mm-hmm.
12:00
Speaker 1
Let me do that info forget this network borderland uh 2.4. forget okay so it went back to my 5.0 by default but it displays the the option to connect to 2.4 should I go ahead and choose that. Let me before I do that let me do a quick check of the of the internet just on on five. Yeah five comes up no problem. so now seeing the available networks I see 2.4 I'll click on it join the two point four mob form so I'll put the same password. [silence] thinking. Uh wait a second. I. [silence] it did.
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay, yes yes. Is the Okay. Did it ask for a password here?
13:00
Speaker 1
It did. But now I have Internet access, so maybe I not complaining. So let me try to open my device. OK. It still cannot find it, but I think that might be beyond, you know, Linksys conversation, because they had me go to make sure I was connected to the 2.4. You know, you have to be in the same network as the device. I am, but it's still not able to find it, so I'm wondering here. But I think [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
Mmm, okay. Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I see. This ring, yes, sir. This ring, our bottle was it, mmm, able to connect to all.
14:00
Speaker 1
No, it was 2.4. Yeah, yes, that's correct. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Well, I think you've helped me get on 2.4, so I'm in good shape. I don't wanna bug you too much. One final question. A -- I do have my Linksys router firmware settings to auto update. Would you Uh you'd be able to confirm just a health check of my my firmware just to make sure maybe you can see it on your side.
