this is Linksys technical support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a Linksys specialist. Hi there, this is Ben from Linksys technical support. The call got disconnected. Thank you so much. All right. Let's just wait for it to finish scanning the channels. Hi everybody. Are you [mumble] we sitting together. [mumble] Wow. [silence] [music]
00:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay.
00:00
Speaker 1
All right. Is it now done scanning the channels? All right. All right. Now that it's done scanning the channels. Uh-huh. Which nodes did it optimize?
02:00
Speaker 2
It has like a tiny little bit left. It's towards the end. Yes. Oh. It said we we Lynx is 01695 Lynx is 05620 that's the one I was missing actually.
02:00
Speaker 1
Mhm. All right, so all four nodes are visible now on the Channel Finder. You click done. Once Channel Finder is done, if you need to double check, you can either refresh the app or close and open it again. You need to double check if the nodes are now visible on your dashboard, since the app, since the app has already detected four nodes. It means all your nodes are in the network working. Perfect. All right. So is there anything else as well? Mhm.
03:00
Speaker 2
dining room, which is linked to 06203 and formal dining room. Yes, on the channel finder, it says done or technical details. Done. Or what? Oh, okay, okay, got it, got it, so... Oh, yeah, now they're in the network, yeah, now that I went back in. I don't know why was one missing? Hmm, well, is that gonna fix my internet, the
03:00
Speaker 1
Yes, since, as I mentioned, you're using them mostly on Wi-Fi as well, channel finder helps improve the connection and also gives a stable Wi-Fi network. So, this should also help with the main issue. Because the next thing you need to perform, if the device still cannot connect, you need to manually this uh separate the 2.4 and the 5 gHz, because there's a possibility the device that you need to work needs a specific connection.
04:00
Speaker 2
is is. Let me double check this one device that I really need. Um, let's see. No, it's still disconnected. okay. But it was working before for years on the same kind of settings. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
was there any kind of updates on that device as well? I see. Once again, if it still would not connect, try like completely removing it and connecting it again. And if it still would not work, you need either a specific 2.4 g connection or a 5 G connection for the Sona to work. your bandwidth, your 2.4 G and 5 G.
05:00
Speaker 2
No updates, it's an outdoor sauna. So it has, so it allows me to turn the sauna on and off and check the temperature. But right now it says disconnected. Oh, you you mean like to separate my um, separate my um. Would I do so now a question is would I do that on just one of the nodes or will that be uh, how does that usually work? Does that connection come from the main node or how does that [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
When you separate a gigahertz band, all nodes will apply the changes? Yes. No. There are just certain devices that either works on 2.4, like printers, thermostats, don't, uh, those kinds of normal devices for everyday use. 5 gigahertz are for like streaming, gaming, something that requires a fast internet.
06:00
Speaker 2
at work. And then I will technically then when I search the Wi-Fi, I will see two of them, right? And then what some devices, so how would you know which devices are better for what? Because I thought when I bought this system, that it says that if you put it on automatic, the devices connect to a connection that feels better to them. [silence] But how would I know
06:00
Speaker 1
No, you need to manually reconnect it to the separated connection. All devices are compatible for a 2.4. Once again, all devices are compatible for a 2.4. 5 GHz just depend on that specific device. But we cannot tell you that one since it solely depends. Yes.
07:00
Speaker 2
would the device if I separated it would some devices connect to that or would they automatically connect to it and and how do I specifically know if this device is so you're saying it's five gigahertz all the devices so if I go into my my devices now it looks like some of them are connected to 2.4 some of them to five because because it's an automatic right but the one that is that I'm looking for is not even connected
07:00
Speaker 1
once again, no. So you've already done that before and still no changes, it will not. In order for you you to know which devices need a 2.4 or 5 GHz, you need to search them. Manually, if they are compatible or not. The linker app will not tell you if it's compatible for it or not. You can, but it just shows you that the device is offline. [silence] Offline devices just simply means that device is not on, on the linker app. It does not inform you any other kind of information.
08:00
Speaker 2
So, I can't really find it in the connected devices. Would it help if I unplugged all the nodes and start it over again? No. So, should I search for them in the offline devices? Because I do see it there. I do see it in the, well, actually, I see two. They're named the same, but now I'm, I can't tell.
08:00
Speaker 1
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. [silence] Yes. Yes. No, the latest model is the one that you have, which is an MBE7000. Yes. All right. Once again, thank you so much for calling Linksys as well. Take care and have a great day.
09:00
Speaker 2
Oh, it is? So that's still the best one you guys have? Mmm-hmmm. All right. I'll try. I'll try to play around with this and see what happens. Thank you. Perfect. You too. Thanks. Bye.
