well, I have a question. I don't know if you're going to charge me for it, but that's fine whatever. Um, I have a a a a Linksys router, it's a, uh, uh, uh, Linksys router and you know, it's not giving me a problem. Here's the problem I'm having and I don't know how to solve it. So you may want to charge me for this. I don't care. I just need some help here. Um, I can go into it. I've got

Speaker 2
Hi, thank you for calling. My name is Raquel. How may I assist you today?

Speaker 1
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, a device that I would like to hook up, uh, be able to hook up to remotely. But it requires that, uh, from my phone, that I have the app on, it requires that it be set, hooked into a 2.4, uh, gig network. And my, my phone is connected, to the 5 gig side on the, uh, router. And I ca-I ca-I ca-I can't find a way to put this on. Apparently, when I set up this router, which has been actually now about 3 year, 4 year, somewhere in there. Um, I must have left both, uh, uh, both channels on the, uh, using the same SSID. Really stupid. Um, so, I noticed that there are some things that are located in the house and that are on the two. four, like a printer, which is right by the, uh, the, uh, the main router. And, uh, but, you know, my phone always seems to connect to five, and I don't know how to get it to connect to a 2.4. Um, No. No, I can't. I just, all I'm able to select is the, uh, is the name of the SSID and it automatically puts whatever it wants on there. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I see. Get it. So, the the you're required to broadcast the 2.4, right? Instead of like same as society. So, you were able to select the 2.4 from the wi-fi. All right, got it. So since you have the same SSID for 2.4 and 5 gigahertz, that's why you have difficulty on connecting fourthly to 2.4.
10:00
Speaker 1
That's right. Okay. Okay. I, I, I was prepared to, I was prepared to use the, I have the lynx app, but I, I, I couldn't get myself, but I'm I'm not ready right now with a, so now this is, anything that's connected to the 2.4, if we change the SSID, those are, those devices are going to disconnect. Is that correct? Or will they just connect to the other channel?
11:00
Speaker 2
Our work around for that... Okay. Our work around for that is we can try separating the SSID of 2.4 from the 5 gigahertz or separate the name of 5 gigahertz, leave the original SSID to the 2.4. And to do that, we will need to access your router settings using a computer via web browser.
11:00
Speaker 1
I'll leave to I was gonna ask you this I've got three this came with the three uh the the three device is it possible to add a a fourth device and then just give it a new SSID and and make it a dedicated two point four because I wouldn't even mind doing that It will it will be a different
12:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Connect to the 5 gigahertz and you will need them to reconnect to the what new SSID of the 2.4. If you have devices there are a lot using 2.4, I would suggest we will leave the original name on the 2.4 and or 5 will have a new SSID on the 5 gigahertz. Yes, you can but the setup is it will be a different network but the physical setup will require connecting it wired to the main parent's node. Then you can decide which you want to use. 2.4 has the longer range, better for slightly better for metal obstruction and the 5 gigahertz requires direct line of sight and has better throughput. I think for initial setup use 2.4. Then in the settings you can choose the automatic roaming but you will need to do the initial connection one of your devices to the 5 so that it will start on the roaming. You can pick the one with the best signal. And yes, but the setup is it will be a different network but the physical setup will require connecting it wired to the main parent's node.and the best one is on the the fastest of the the 5 gigahertz is will not be on the 2.4. Then only those devices because the could this new client will continue to use the as 5? Yes, that is the Yeah, then there is also this CQ or the mesh. And for full disclosure I am your programmer now making a Wi-Fi programming for you guys. Okay. Let us move this device over here. So the setup of the block is it will be the same. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
different network well that'll screw everything else up so no I've got to do oh Lord have mercy hold on let me see what I've got on Well, I got too many important things. Because I'm looking right now. The TV is on the five. The two phones, both Samsung S26 are on the five. An Epson printer, that's on 2.4. and then this one JEGM module. I don't really remember what that even is. So I don't even know what I've got connected to it.
13:00
Speaker 2
This other option apart from the changing the SSID of the bands is to disable the five gigahertz for the meantime while you're trying to connect the to that device to the two point four. However
13:00
Speaker 1
I've got two of them. Oh, wait a minute. No. I bet you those are the uh, I bet you those are the links this maybe my host master bedroom. Office. That's an Ethernet. Well, that's going okay. That's neither nest doorbell, nest audio, QN 90. That's the TV out in the RV. Um, okay. All right. I think what I need to do is go around and rename. So I can write everything down. So I know what's what. And then, uh, call back when I have everything set and a computer handy and know what I'm going to be doing here. Um, and then, uh, I'm going to be doing here. Um, so a different network.
14:00
Speaker 1
No, I don't want a different network. So, what we've done is he's taken one of those channels, uh and dedicated it to get to 2.4, okay. All right. The name is Mike Herrera. h-e-r-r-e-r-a. I will spell it out for you. It's h-e-r-r-e-r-a.mike@Gmail.com. [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
Yes. All right, how about this? Let me create you a record here so that the next time you're going to call, just provide this ticket number. I'll take note and document your you'd like to make changes on your Wi-Fi since you're trying to connect a device. May I have your first name and last name? All right, may I have also your email address Mike?
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay uh let me I'm on the app so it's got to be somewhere on the app. Let me see if I can find it. Okay. Okay. I'll just do this as oh here's the main one. It is are you ready? three eight uniform one zero mic three seven beta two three eight six seven. I've been thinking of updating this whole system. Maybe I should
16:00
Speaker 2
Thank you. And do you have a serial number of one of your node. So that I can take note as well here. You can go to nodes section. Then select one of your node. And under details, it will show the serial number. Yes. Please. All right. Thanks.
16:00
Speaker 1
Just do that. Right. Okay. What is the what is the range on that? Not enough. Not enough. Well, the house is not that large, but the signal has to be also able to come out to an RV, we've got, and then it has to also reach out to,
17:00
Speaker 2
for newer system, since as per double-checking it, you actually have a Wi-Fi 6, so you will already have the Wi-Fi 6E and 7. So if you have devices that are capable of connecting to Wi-Fi 6 and 7, yes, that would be an option for you to upgrade your miss for our Velop Pro 6E and MVE Velop Pro 7, it has 3,000 square feet of Wi-Fi range, which not enough, I see. Then how big is your house in terms of square feet?
17:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] the other side of the house to uh to the to a generator that's all set up on an automated system, which is also connected into the system so that uh we always we can just look at our phone and see how much propane we have. We can see the the uh status of the generator because we're on, you know, we're on 20 acres. So you know, I usually get um I usually try and get at least about 8,000 square feet of coverage. I'm not sure this is I bought this one so long ago, I don't remember what it is. Okay. Well, if I actually set it up correctly, I don't need the floor.
18:00
Speaker 2
Okay understood. Um, this new system that we have has uh three packs of node or you can have four nodes if in case you wanted to upgrade on this. You can have four nodes instead of your original it has three nodes. And by the way, who's your internet?
18:00
Speaker 1
who knows? I just need the three. Um, but it only doesn't cover enough space. What's the next bump up from there in terms of power? Really? And that covers and you said that covers 3,000 square feet. Oh, per node. Oh, okay. That should be, how much is that or do you have a price or do I have to order it from I noticed that I have I um, who carries the the Linksys now?
19:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Um, that's our only newer nodes right now, as of the moment, so we don't have uh more another model yet for Vulp7. So the only the MB7000 yes. As of the moment, they don't have update yet. Yes. Yes. [silence] it's still actually Linksys, but right now, we're not officially sailing as of the moment, our Linksystem is not yet available, but we're [censored] right now.
19:00
Speaker 1
Okay, let me look on him. So that would be a linksus link, what was it again? I said beta, didn't I? Okay. Um I should know better. I used to be a pilot. Okay. Um, they'll have seven B. It's only $299 that seems awfully cheap. Um, yeah, it does. I'm just that worries me that it's only $300.
20:00
Speaker 2
But you can check the model number via online store, authorized online store like such as Amazon, or through your local store if they have available. [silence] Mari Bravo Echo 7000. [silence] It came with three packs.
20:00
Speaker 1
I don't. Yeah, but you don't have anything more powerful right now. Wow. Wow. 6600 square foot coverage, uh.
21:00
Speaker 2
Yes, at the moment we don't have new Wi-Fi router available yet. And, and My name is who's your internet service provider. I'm Mike. Can you still hear me?
21:00
Speaker 1
Hello. Oh. Uh, Vive, V-Y-V-E, Vive. I think it's live Internet, live, whatever. Yeah, I I've just really concerned that would actually be a step down from what I've got. Um, except it's Wi-Fi. Well, I know it's a Wi-Fi six, but it seems to be a more powerful unit has stronger coverage.
22:00
Speaker 2
Hello Mike, can you hear me fine? Yes, hello. I can hear you now. May I know your internet service provider? Okay. [silence] All right. Thank you. And actually, this MB7000 can cater up to 2.5 of internet speed already. Your current one is a Wi-Fi 6. Yes.
22:00
Speaker 1
Well, I came. I've been looking for using this app. Because I haven't logged into the router. With my god. Good luck. Good luck of trying to remember what my password is. Oh, all right. If you, if you can you send me the the ticket number in a text message so I can have a copy of it. Oh, that's fine. Yeah, yeah. I. And I will like I said, I'll get all the information and then I.
23:00
Speaker 2
i see understand so you can try going to the first option like try um changing channel check the devices where are connected i mean changing wi-fi name over wi-fi bands or other ways to turn off um hum Okay. Unfortunately, I am not have the service for the text, but I can send it to your email. Where the take it. All right, that's great. So I'll send it after this call.
23:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] I will uh call back when I'm set and all ready to go. guess. No, appreciate your help very much. When is when it is okay, when is Lynx is supposed to come out with some other products? This is a little bit disturbing that they don't even have units out right now. Is there, is there an issue, frankly? (silence) Don't have a more powerful model. Okay. All right, because I just assumed just move up and do that. All right. All right, you'll send that to my email and I appreciate your help. Thank you.
24:00
Speaker 2
