My name is Gerald, how can I help you? Doing good, how are
00:00
Speaker 1
I can't remember the name of it, but uh, it's part of a three node system. Right? And it's a, I believe it's called the Linksys WRT3200ACL, if that sounds right. Which is that sayinged right. Okay. So, take the WRT out. You you answered faster than I could click the little button where I took a picture of the bottom of the router. Here it is. Yeah, mine's an NB7000. Uh, that's the model number. I forget what it's uh, external name is. So, it came with uh, basically uh, uh, three white uh, towers, right? Each with about five ports on the back. And I have a spot in my house,
01:00
Speaker 2
Oh, the WT7? No, it's not a mesh router. It's a standalone router.
01:00
Speaker 1
which, um, seems like it's begging for an additional node, uh, because I'm getting weak signal consistently in that area, uh, and uh, and it's dropping. Um, my struggle is when I go out anywhere and try to find um, a way to add another node out there, uh, I've struggled with, with, uh, being able to just buy one more of these, uh, MBA 7,000 right? That, that is also at this, uh, Wi-Fi 7 right, uh, level. What, what do you suggest? What, am I doing something wrong or did you stop making them? What, why can't I, uh, uh, just kind of buy one more easily? [silence]
02:00
Speaker 2
yes is this M B 7 000 was exclusive to Linksys store
02:00
Speaker 1
So, I, yeah, if you can just tell me, um, uh, a direction to go to to buy something compatible that the system will recommend. I literally went online and, uh, tried something that sounds like a little mini, uh, 6D type of thing that said it was compatible to my, uh, uh, MBE 7,000. It, it, it created a fourth node, uh, created a fourth node, a wireless node, uh, but it didn't quite, uh, solve my problem and the devices started to argue, right? Hey, we're smarter than you. Because the the
03:00
Speaker 2
you can't buy this one to any retail store however right now we're currently not selling routers at the moment so we can't I mean I'm not sure what happened but as of right now we're not selling routers but I suggest get the MX201 retarder
03:00
Speaker 1
Devices I have were higher than what that 60 thing could could handle. So is there another single node you suggest? M m s Mary ss and Sam. Okay next where do you suggest I pick up one of those? [silence] What's your price? Price. Okay, um, okay. That's it looks like it's called avalope Pro 6E wi-fi cognitive mesh. Yeah, okay. The one I tried was the LN-1201, but that didn't seem to, yeah, yeah. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
Oh, the micro mesh? This one, this one should be good to your MBE 7000 because they both the same cognitive mesh, same as your MBE 7000 and also tri-band. This is a tri-band, that is a tri-band. They both have 6 GHz and this also have 6 GHz, uh, should be compatible in any way.
05:00
Speaker 1
Hi. Okay. All right. I will give I'll give that one a try. Is there a secondary option? If you didn't okay. Which which one did you say? MX 8500. All right. I'm pulling that one up. At least I'm trying to. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
on and that's the only one available but but yeah now you can try the other other mesh though I'm X eight 500. that's if that's available mesh to share. MX 8500 is also a wi-fi 60 router.
06:00
Speaker 1
say that one, what am I doing? MX? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll give that one a try and see how that uh, does in the house. that's the wonderful thing of Amazon. If it doesn't work out, ship it back up. Okay. I appreciate your help. Thanks for your uh input today. Have a good one. No, sorry. Have a good day. Bye now.
07:00
Speaker 2
no, I also tried to search yeah MX-8500 and I also don't see there right here. I'm just I'm thinking that it should be compatible to that, but I'm not seeing it right here. One available here is MX-2000, but uh it will be best to get the MX-6200 instead of the MX-2000 to connect to your MB-7000. Pretty sure it's compatible based on experience. welcome. welcome. Do you have other questions? Apple. You too. Have a good day.
