Hi there, I've had some very slow Wi-Fi speeds, um, and I've isolated it I think to that it's getting strangled by my linksys mesh system and I had a long chat session on a chat earlier on which unfortunately has just dumped, so I've just decided to call you instead, it might be easier. But I think I think essentially where we got to with the chat was that it was it was going to talk me through a full reset which was going to take about 60 to 90 minutes. It was it was basically going to reinstall it again.[silence]

How can I assist you with today? [silence] I see. [silence] get it. Um [silence] hmm, yes. So, did you reset the-
00:00
Speaker 1
yeah, I I I went through an awful lot of stuff on the chat. I I reset the router. I turned one off at a time, one of the child child's off at a time. It was trying to see if that something was restricting the bandwidth. And in the end, it it was it was about to tell me to do a full reinstall, which was going to take 60 to 90 min. So I I've done all the troubleshooting, I think. was possible, unless there's something you can think of that, you know, isn't too obvious. The last thing I did, the last thing I did was turned off my modem. And then I turned off the router. I then waited 30 s. I then turned on the modem again. I waited two minutes for that and then I turned off the router. Then I waited for that to come back on and then I did another speed test. And then then it was I think it said, okay, I think we need to do a full reinstall and uh I'm still not getting a fast speed after anything I do. Hi my, my Wi-Fi is direct from my modem, I'm getting uh like 16 megabytes per second, which isn't good, but that's what I can expect on my copper line. but when I'm measuring it through my links this, I'm only getting like 6.3, 7, some of that. No, we're limited where we are. We can't increase the speed. We're stuck with what we've got. is plus net, but because we are still on a copper wire, not fiber, we are limited to 18 megabytes per second.
01:00
Speaker 2
got it all right okay apologize to hear about one sir, but no no let me assist you with this concern and also sir, if I may ask did you upgrade your subscribed speed lately or try to change your modem I may know who's your internet service provider
02:00
Speaker 1
uh yep I'll do it through the app just stand by okay so the master um note is uh model number W-H-W-O3 version 2
03:00
Speaker 2
Can you provide the model number and the serial number of your linksys router?
03:00
Speaker 1
All of them and the serial number is two, zero, J, two, zero, six, zero, nine, eight, five, three, zero, three, zero. And all of the nodes I have says the firmware is up to date. The link is, I don't know, quite a while ago, probably, I don't know. I don't I couldn't tell you exactly, but quite a while ago. Like several years.
04:00
Speaker 2
All right. Just give me one moment here, let me double check. Got it. All right. When did you purchase this router or can you still remember? Let's see. All right.
04:00
Speaker 1
That's correct. Yeah. Yep, it's correct. Hang on. So my main modem is operating normally and the router, the serial number I just gave you is showing the the blue to suggest it's operating normally. What today? Today you mean what I'm the chat? If there's no speech, output only: [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
uh serial number is 2 016 153 5 3 0 3,0. is this correct? okay and you mention that you reset your router our or the main router um what's the light status of the router right now sir? [silence] okay solid how did you set it up sir when you resee reset this one? uh yes sir.
05:00
Speaker 1
Oh, well, all, all, all it did was told, yeah, all, all it did on the chat was tell me, um, to initially, I just restarted the router. I turned it off, waited for, I don't know, two minutes or something, and then turned it back on. And then it told me to turn one child node off and retest the router. And then the last thing I did was turned off my modem, waited 30 seconds, turned off the router, and then waited. And then turned the modem back on, followed by the router. And that's where we are now. So, all I've done is like a a reset by turning it on and off, basically. No. No, I didn't do that yet.
06:00
Speaker 2
I see. So it only I don't know if you didn't press any button like press the reset button. Right. Okay. So when we need when N
06:00
Speaker 1
OK. Yeah, I'll do this. Yep. Um, yeah, that's okay. Um, OK should I do that now? [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
So, the troubleshooting steps that we can do here, sir, is like, we need to reset your router, like, you need to press and hold the reset button until the router goes back to its default settings or factory settings. And that's the time you will set it up again. Do you agree to this troubleshooting steps? All right. And also, sir, just to set the proper expectation, once we reset your router, sir, all the devices that are connected to your Wi-Fi will be disconnected, since the router will go back to its default settings. But yeah, you can do it, sir. Okay, press and hold the reset button until the light went off and release once the blue light is showing. All right, make sure that the light went off, sir, before you release the reset button and the blue light is showing.
