So, yesterday came back, woke up and my internet was not working at all. Um, I looked at my Spectrum modem and it was on, but all of the nodes, including the one directly connected to the modem was red.

sure we can't get on like my dad usually he can he's got like a little chip he can unplug and plug to get back on the internet and he's asking for like a network code which I've never seen I can't get on Netflix in my room and our phones are going on and off so I don't know what's happening but I just feel like I'm having a lot of trouble with this Linksys lately we do have a big house and we do have plaster walls so I know that affects sometimes the range but we've never had this much trouble I mean three including the one that's connected directly to the modem the main node let me go look sorry and then This is where I wonder too, my son, and I were talking about the color, but it's not at the main node right now is like an aqua blue. So it's not like that dark blue it normally is. Um, oh, and where do I find? Where do I find cereal? Remember the bottom. Can you read it for me? Because I can't see with these classes. I'm sorry. I'm going to have him read it because my eyes, even with the readers, I can't read it. It is. Hold on. Um, 2 0 Jay 20 M 3 5 A 0 2 4 2 4. Take that down, you might need it on your too. I'll say, I think the serial number's on there. I.
01:00
Speaker 2
Okay. [silence] May I have the serial number? I'll go clean this up real quick, please. Yeah, it's on the bottom. [silence] Thank you.
02:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's easy. Yeah, it constantly goes to 5G and we cannot connect some devices. Sorry. We could not get my TV to work and my dad can't get. That guy's just connecting that instead of asking for like a network code, which it's never done. I don't even know what that is. Well, you'll just have to put the password in on my TV all the time and it won't keep saying failed. They'll run. What did you send them? Exactly. Reset the network on my TV. Or even on, how do I do that? Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay. But you are still encountering some dropping or slow internet connection, right? Okay. [silence] Have you tried to like forget network on that device and reconnect again and input the password? [silence] [silence] Even if you like reset the network on the TV?
04:00
Speaker 1
Do you know, Owen? I mean, it makes me choose that network, like it doesn't, it's not like, let me see. So but still, why is my phone going on and off? So right now it's checking status, network status. It's not failed. So now it says network settings. When I click it, it says, how do you connect to the Internet? So I always click wireless, and then it tells me to select my network. So I select ours, and then I put in the password, but I don't see a place saying disconnect it. And the funny thing is, I have, I mean, I'm going to do it right now. But I have,
05:00
Speaker 2
hear us. The settings on your TV to reset the network, or to delete the whole network and then reconnect it again. Yes. Okay, so that means.
05:00
Speaker 1
right now three bars or two bars. And like, even my internet, like when I was on, for example, Instagram keeps stalling and stopping. So now it's checking wireless network connection. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Have you tried to do like a sequence reboot on this router since you have three nodes? Um, try to... Um, unplug all of them or turn them off, and then you turn on the parent node first, wait for it to turn solid blue, and then you turn on the first child node that is closest to the parent node, wait for it to turn solid blue, and then you turn on the last node. [silence] Okay. Mm hmm. Yeah, that might be a better idea, sir, since this nodes that you have right now, it's no longer manufactured, so we don't have any available updates anymore that
06:00
Speaker 1
yeah I mean I know that our internet definitely is slow I just and I yeah it's yeah I know what you're saying I've just never had it ask like for a network it's like on my dad's it said the network has changed put in the network pass or not I didn't even say password code and I don't know what that means can I show you that yeah yes I did it didn't work
08:00
Speaker 2
Might not keep up with your modem also. So yeah, flowing or dropping of internet connection might be one of the reason or the since the old the router is outdated already. But you can try to do a full factory reset and reconfiguration, but that's not really a guarantee. Having an upgrade will be the best. Have you tried to use the password as the code?
08:00
Speaker 1
So if I'm gonna reset the whole thing, what does that mean? I don't know what that works. I would suggest casting an hour. Okay. cuz I know in the past sometimes well, when the red if I reconnect, like, I tell the app to forget a node and then I redo it, it works. But I don't know if that will help. Yeah, I mean literally, even getting on your app is like spinning and spinning and spinning. Like, I don't even have.
09:00
Speaker 2
It will disconnect. Yeah, it will disconnect all the settings or the devices. It will go back to factory default settings and you need to set it up again from scratch. Because, yeah, if you did a lot or most of the troubleshooting process to make this work and still use, still experiencing some problems, that's the last option that you need to do.
09:00
Speaker 1
I had to do it last time. Hang on. Turn on to use WPS to connect. Sorry. There's a WPS that last time got me on the internet. I bet that's what. What. Let me see if that works again. I might be able to do that with my dad, too. Sorry. I'm gonna have you wait one second. Okay, I'm using that WPS let's see if it works. Oh, it's connected. Okay, I got it. I, I remembered I did that last time. Let me see if I have to do it to my dad too. Okay, wait, so now you have two minutes to push the, on the device you're connecting. Alright, I did it, so it's already good. Okay, let me see if it, all right, so basically everything looks good on your end, really we just need to get a better network. I can do more updated. Okay, thank you. All right, bye bye. Bye.
11:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. Alright. Okay. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yes, ma'am. You're welcome, ma'am. Thank you for calling. Thank you. Bye.
