Hi, thank you for calling Linksys. My name is Evan. I'm going to help you today. One of your child node stopped working? What's the light on that child node? Um what's again, what's the light?
00:00
Speaker 1
It's red. After a while, it becomes red. [silence] solid. [silence] I'm already at next to the parents' note. Okay. Yes, the light started blinking. It went out very briefly, then started blinking.
01:00
Speaker 2
Can you see the color of the night? Solid, solid red or flashing read? Okay. Can you move it next to the parent node? Or is it already next to the parent node? Now, do a factory reset. Your child node must be out for held the reset button until the light completely goes out. Once again, I'm with Ms. Tangbirpool. Did the light completely went out? [ silence]
01:00
Speaker 1
you're blinking. Oh no it's still blinking. It's gone. Yeah I did that. Now there's no light. There's a blue light now. Now it's blinking blue.
02:00
Speaker 2
What's the color of the blinking light? Alright. Keep on holding the reset button until the light completely disappears. Once the light disappears, then you let go of the reset button. Alright. Once the light goes out completely, let go of the reset button.
02:00
Speaker 1
Sorry, wait for the Purple Light. OK. Yes, I'm waiting. Thank you. It's solid purple now. Solid purple. OK.
03:00
Speaker 2
All right, wait for it to turn to solid purple. Wait for it to turn solid purple. Don't do anything. Just wait for it. Do you have a question? Okay.
03:00
Speaker 1
Thank you, very nice. Okay. Two, three, four, five. The parent node is now pink. The parent node is now blue.
04:00
Speaker 2
On the parent node, you're going to perform what we call the five-press method, you're going to press release, wait a second, press release, wait a second, five times on your reset button. All right, keep on observation the parent node. And what about the child node?
04:00
Speaker 1
It's blinking red now. Okay, thank you.
05:00
Speaker 2
Let's do it. Now wait for three to five minutes until that blinking red light changes to a different color.
05:00
Speaker 1
it's all in blue, actually. okay. it's done, right? blue, excellent. blue, correct. yes, thank you. yes. is there anything I can do to prevent this problem from happening again? wiring.
07:00
Speaker 2
solid blue. Keep an observing, it for two more minutes. It's back to a solid blue light, so it changed red, [silence] changed back to blue, is that correct? All right. Congratulations, your child node has been successfully reconnected. You can move it back to its original position and that should be working from this forward on. There anything else? The best way to try and at least prevent this problem is to consider wiring the child node to the parent node. Yes, having an ethernet cable connected.
07:00
Speaker 1
That's not possible because this is about about 50 feet away. Very good. Thank you so very much. Bye. Bye-bye. Thank you.
08:00
Speaker 2
I see. If that's the case usually what currently causes that disconnection is either there's a lot of devices connected to the child node or it's just probably due to the distance. We cannot stop those kinds of changes. You can reboot your mesh system every now and then so that it can also reset and make the connection much more sturdier after a reboot. All right. Thank you so much for calling Linksys. Take care and have a great day. Bye bye for now.
