All right, so that's blu2548.chumii.com. All right. Can you provide me the name of the store where the product was purchased?
03:00
Speaker 1
Um, I don't know what the model number is. Oh, MX 6200. And then the serial is 58W10M22E00111. That is correct. Um, just this one.
04:00
Speaker 2
Model number of your Linksys router? as well as the serial number, please? a LinkSys router with a model number Mx. 6200 with the serial number 5 a w for Whiskey 1 M for Mike 22 E for Echo 0111. All right. And how many nodes do you have, sir?
04:00
Speaker 1
are we finding a router as the node because we only have the router set up okay yeah sorry what oh nothing else besides this router yeah correct correct Okay.
05:00
Speaker 2
the router is also considered as a node they're actually all routers they're actually all routers if you have node with the same route I mean same model and figu- configure as a child node anyway so you only you only so you only have one of this MX6200. Okay, all right, sir. So let me just finish up the record here. Just bear with me. Okay. And by the way, sir, what have you done so far?
05:00
Speaker 1
Um I've just I've just tried to restarting it I have the Linux app and I've done whatever the Linux app has asked me to do for the troubleshooting so I mean it's just restart your router I've done that but it's not picking back up. All right I just unplugged it okay okay
06:00
Speaker 2
okay so how about this one sir let's do a power cycle first so let's unplug your router from the power source and wait for at least a minute. all right sir all right so let's wait for a minute and then after a minute uh let's plug it back in. but I'll just tell you if it's already one minute okay I have a timer here. [silence] Okay, so you can plug it back in. Okay, so let's wait for at least two minutes to reboot and set up. And let's see what the light indicator will give us.
06:00
Speaker 1
It's solid blue. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Solid setup. Okay. Okay. Okay. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
any progress there? solid solid blue all right so uh since it's solid blue sir it's now on setup mode so all we need to do is just can't yeah so all we need to do is just configure it to go online so it probably went back to its default settings so you need to set it up again from scratch okay um so right now uh I want you to press the reset button on the router or five times within five seconds. so press the reset button five times within five seconds not too fast not too slow.
10:00
Speaker 1
Blinking white. No, it's not white. Okay, it's solid white. No, it's flashing white now. Is that should we still wait? Okay. Okay, go.
11:00
Speaker 2
Alright. Okay. Give it some time. It's now trying to configure. And it will eventually go to solid light, which means it's online. So let's wait. Let's just wait for it. Alright. Yes, sir. Normally, it really would take at least two minutes for the router to go online once you've configured it.
11:00
Speaker 1
okay. okay. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Oh, it's probably red, sir. Um, no worries. Give it some time. That's uh actually a normal light indicator. I mean, light pattern. Mhm. Alright, sir. How is it? Any progress?
13:00
Speaker 1
I feel good. Okay. okay, it turned blue.
14:00
Speaker 2
okay no problem so let's let's go and reset it properly instead of using uh links this app we're going to press and hold the reset button on the router for at least 20 seconds so press and hold the reset button for 20 seconds All right, give it some time, please. So let's wait for 2 minutes.
14:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Yeah. Is flashing blue. [silence] Okay. [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
can you observe any. light behavior? Yes. Okay. That's normal. So, let's wait for it. until it gives us a solid blue light again. And then, we're going to perform the five-pray method again as well. All right, so let's just wait for it to turn solid blue. all right, sir. so let's perform the five press method again. so press the reset button five times within five seconds. all right, and then let's wait again for at least two to three minutes
15:00
Speaker 1
it's solid blue yeah yeah all right okay I'll do it again I'm taking it back
19:00
Speaker 2
Any progress, sir? Uh, and, it, it, it, it's still solid blue. Oh, and, can, can you make, make sure that, that you, you perform the 5-press method properly, sir? So press the reset button five times within five seconds. Wait a few seconds before you're normally, um, you're counting 1, 2, 5 normally. [silence] do you have the option how important
19:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's blinking white and then now it's blinking, I don't know what this is. Red, yellow, blinking yellow. [silence]
22:00
Speaker 2
Is there any light pattern? Okay, sir. All right, that's a good progress. Let's just wait for at least two to three minutes. [silence]
22:00
Speaker 1
It's a solid red now. It's solid red. Or is it solid yellow? I don't know if yellow is an option. Okay, yeah. Hmm.
23:00
Speaker 2
It's showing solid red. Okay. Let's give it more time, Sergey. and then we're going to proceed with the next troubleshooting. Just to confirm with you, sir did it turn solid red at any point in time?
23:00
Speaker 1
uh from flashing white to flashing red and then to solid red I okay yeah well I unplugged it up and plugged the router back in before this call [silence]
24:00
Speaker 2
[HUMAN_REVIEW] all right. All right. So, you've mentioned earlier that you have a personal computer that is hooked up directly to the modem, right? Oh, okay. Okay. How about this, sir? Can you check the physical connections? The Ethernet cables connecting from the router to the modem?
24:00
Speaker 1
yeah, they look plugged in. To me, it's collecting, but like, it doesn't pull out. Yeah, it is.
25:00
Speaker 2
and you check if they're properly plugged in and you check if uh the cable the ethernet cable connecting to the router is uh plugged into the internet for Yeah, good. Okay, sir. How about this one? let's plug in your computer's ethernet cable directly to the modem. First, let's double check if you still have internet connection coming from your modem. Can you confirm the first four numbers are first four numbers are
25:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, my PC does get internet. It gets internet. So, I have to plug the router back to the modem. Okay. Give me one second. [silence]
28:00
Speaker 2
but sir after death, sir, that would be. excuse me. sorry? okay. So now let's uh plug in again the ethernet cable back to the router, and we're going to access the um the Linksys web interface. Yeah. So, once you plugged in back the, the Ethernet cable connecting your router and the modem, let's also connect the Ethernet cable from your personal computer directly to the router. All right.
28:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I have to plug both in. It's like, it's a couple rooms down. Yeah, it will take like 10-15 steps. Okay.
30:00

35:00
Speaker 2
Okay. I'm sorry. Did you hook up your, yeah, you've already hooked up the PC directly to the router, right? Because actually, you don't need an internet to access the web interface. But anyway, let's try this one instead. You type in http://192.168.1.1.
35:00
Speaker 1
Oh . Dot 1, got one. Okay. Enter. [silence] It also tells you no internet connection. says I mean my Ethernet says it's connected with no internet and then the the website says no internet connection. Yeah and then it gives me options to restart your modem or enter ISP settings.

The Wi-Fi on my computer, so my computer doesn't have Wi-Fi. I have to use ethernet, but I can check on my phone for Wi-Fi. Yeah, there's a lot of computers. I can turn those on if you would like. Okay. Okay. Don't let... Okay.
43:00
Speaker 2
Double check if your Wi-Fi, or the Wi-Fi on your computer is also turned on. Uh, no need sir, if you say so. Because there are, you know, computers that can connect wirelessly and then connect hardware. Yeah. Uh, alright. So, anyway, um, let's, let's try to get the, um, exact IP address on your router. I mean, on your computer first. The one that is getting from the router. So, that's what we're going to access. Alright. So, um, uh, is your computer.

Okay, and then you look for the Ethernet adapter, or whatever interface you're using for your main internet connection might also be that adapter but it's usually Ethernet or the wireless connection, okay? And then in the column that says IPv4 address, it should be listed there.
44:00
Speaker 1
okay ethernet it has a bunch of rose beneath it. yeah IPV4 address one nine two dot one six eight dot one dot two two two and then it says preferred next to it in
45:00
Speaker 2
yeah, Ethernet adapter. Can you see their IPv4? Yes. Can you provide me the address? That's 192.168.1.222. All right. Okay, just a moment.
45:00
