Network Mesh system doesn't seem to be working. Um, even though I've, I've spent many hours booting it up and rebooting and following the instructions. Um, the lights seem to be the correct lights on each of the nodes. Um, but I don't have any. I don't, it doesn't seem to be connecting, um, to the internet. So, I don't, I have no, I don't have any connection with each of the nodes. I hope I understand, made myself clear. Are you there? Yeah. Okay. No, no. I've called before because I had problems initially when I first set this up and I was guided through, uh, to get it to.
01:00

02:00
Speaker 1
Well, it's not a router. It's your eero system. I have three nodes. Three nodes. One, Okay. Okay, here we go. 5, 8W, 1, 0N as in Michael, 2, 4, E as in Edward, 0, 5, 1, 8, 0. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
And how many links does this router have in total? Yeah, how many nodes do you have? Can you please provide the serial number of the parents note? Okay, so it's five, like W for Whiskey, one, 0 N for Mike, two, E for Edward, 0 5 1 8 0. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
solid white, they're solid blue. Uh, you mean, uh, remote, you don't want me to hardwire just just connected on my settings, right? Okay. Okay, it says link is it says link 0 to 5-180 underscore 2.4. That's and the node is, yeah, the node is 05180. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
How about the child nodes?
05:00
Speaker 1
So, that's connected. Well, I don't know, that's, that's what it appears to be, yes, and, um, I don't, I'm not quite certain what the blue light indicates. I've been confused about that in reading, so that's why I'm calling you. But yes, the, Yeah, they're all, they're all the same. Yeah, yes, yes. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, that's correct. I didn't understand you first. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Go. Yeah, sure. Okay, I have to disconnect them from the, [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So it means the parent node is online, but the child nodes are not. Yeah. It's okay. Okay. That means it's ready for a setup. So they are all M6200, right? The child nodes are also M6200. Uh can you Okay. It's okay. Can you please move the child nodes here closer to the parent node about two or three feet away from each other and also from the parent node.
06:00
Speaker 1
electrical outlets. Give me a moment, please. It's got one. Let me get the other one. [silence] Okay. I have the two nodes. [silence] Okay. And this is near the parent node, correct? [silence] Okay. Let me just get a extension cord.
07:00
Speaker 2
Okay. And place them two or three feet away from each other and also from the wall outlet. Directly--yeah directly to a wall outlet. Yes, two or three feet also away from the parents' nose.
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So, now, do you want me to, um, plug these in? Plug the child nodes in? Power them up? I, I have it with a power a power, um, um, strip. I don't know if I could. Okay, hold on a second. I might possibly do that. Hold on one second. [silence] Okay, yeah. They're both, they're both plugged into the wall outlet.
09:00
Speaker 2
Do you have the option to plug them directly to a wall outlet as well? Power strip. But you don't have the option to plug them directly to a power outlet. Not to a power strip. Okay. So while waiting... [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
Sure. [silence] [silence] [silence] Yes, they're both blinking blue. Uh huh. Yes.
10:00
Speaker 2
waiting for both the devices to fully boot up sncsn.
10:00
Speaker 1
I, I'm, I'm sorry. Run that by me. Okay, wallets, blue. No, I did not. Do that. Okay, they're both solid blue now. Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
but that's where it turns a solid blue, which means it's ready for setup. yeah, because solid blue yeah, solid blue means it's ready for setup. That's why did you attempt to press and hold the reset button each of the node for a few seconds? yeah. All right. So you did not do anything. It just suddenly turned to solid blue. Okay. now let's proceed to set up your child nodes using five press method. So go to the main router or the parent node. then press release the reset button five times within five seconds. press release, press release,
11:00
Speaker 1
okay, I did that. Okay, the parent node is light is white. Uh the parent node is solid white. The, the child nodes, one is solid blue. Oh, hold on, it's changing. No. One is pulsating white. And one is...
12:00
Speaker 2
Pretty release, press release, press release.
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay, and then one is still pulsating blue. Okay, thank you. Okay, now yeah, now they've both turned pulsating white. Okay.
13:00
Speaker 2
it's okay. they're both setting up sir so it will takes three to five minutes so keep on observing it in your end okay you're welcome. okay so let me know once they're turning solid white.
13:00
Speaker 2
OK, so they're both solid white. OK, so meaning, sir, they're already set up.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay. You want to hold on for a minute then, right? You said. Okay. Oh. Now one just turned red. red. Oh. Oh, okay, good. And now it's, uh, Yup, it just turned a solid white. I see. Yeah.
16:00
Speaker 2
So once you're steady, wait for a minute proceed to relocate them back to its original location or placement. Yeah. Yeah, it's OK. It's still part of the setup. And turn to solid white again, right? Yeah, that's why I asked you earlier to observe it for a minute.
16:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay, this [silence] [silence] [silence] It's been a minute. [silence] Okay.
17:00
Speaker 2
call pause and files. But that's good. So, Yaminu proceed to re- the town does[silence]
17:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay, one. I plugged in. Uhhh, and then I'll plug in the uhh, the other one. Okay. All right, so, yeah, they're pulsating blue. Let me check the other one. Yeah. Yep, it's pulsating blue. So, we'll wait. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Uh, hold on one second, please. Silence.
18:00
Speaker 2
and let's wait three to five minutes for each node to turn solid white. So they're currently booting up. Okay, that's good. And yeah, we'll wait 30 to 5 minutes. And while waiting, I'll provide your ticket number, sir. Just in case you call us again so that the next technician can quickly access your information. So, are you ready to take down notes?
19:00
Speaker 1
I'm sorry, hold on one- yeah. OK. All right. What is the ticket number then, please? One three five one, yeah, one one eight four. OK. OK, is that it? OK. Sure. Okay, one is solid white. And, Yep, the other is solid white, too. Wow. So, Yeah. So, now when I, um, when I, oh yeah, I got a good signal now, too. When I am looking for which network to connect to, um, do I, um, do I look for the the one that is the parent node, meaning 05180 underscore either 2.4 or 5.0? Is that what I'm looking for?
20:00
Speaker 2
Okay, that's good. Okay. So let's observe it for a minute. Mm-hmm. Yes, okay.
22:00
Speaker 1
Connect I'm sorry I had trouble okay okay okay and 2.4 is a longer range [silence] um I'm sorry uh because I have ring cameras too so what [silence]
23:00
Speaker 2
Yes, this is actually the explanation for that. Okay? So, your Banwet are separated, I guess. So, your child nodes here is, so, your child nodes work as one with the parent node. Okay? So, in short, 5 gigahertz band will provide a better speed. But in a shorter range. The, so, if, yes. But then there are, it is, you cannot actually get the exact speed the same with a 5 gigahertz band since you are farther from the parent node. But there are some devices also that won't connect to 5 gigahertz band that reconnect to connect with a 2.4, like printer, security cameras.
23:00
Speaker 1
What did you just say that I should be aware of? [silence] I see. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. [silence] In the past, I've used the 2.4 and it's been adequate, so I think I'll just stick with that. I have some smart lights and they require a 2.4 [silence] connection. They they they don't work at 5.0, so I've left them at 2.4. So, okay. Um, so I think Yeh, go ahead.
24:00
Speaker 2
Okay. That's just the point. So for 5 gigahertz band of course compared with the 2.4 gigahertz, it will provide a better speed in the shorter range. But if you have devices there that won't connect with your 5 gigahertz band. Allow them to connect with your 2.4. Okay. Mhm. Yeah. But for those devices... Yeah, and for those devices [silence]
24:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so I should try to stick with the 5.0 then huh and then when I set up: all right. And then when I and then when I set up the the lights, since they don't connect to the 5.0, I'll have them connected to the 2.4, right? Okay, good. Okay. Okay, excellent. Okay. You know, you solve my problem. I wish I called earlier. Well, thank you. I no, I'm just saying I was going to compliment you. Thank you very much. You were very helpful and it was easy working with you, so thanks so much. Nope. Nope.
25:00
Speaker 2
Uh who works with 5 gigahertz band allow it to connect with that band since it has a better speed. Yeah. So, if your phone can connect with 5 gigahertz band connect to it. exactly. Uh yeah, it's okay. At least you've tried it on your own and tried to work around, sir. But of course, feel free to call us back if you need any further assistance. So, pins we successfully. Go ahead. OK. You're welcome. Is there anything else that I can help you with?
25:00
Speaker 1
made my day. hey, thanks. you too, thank you, bye-th. [silence]
26:00
