Yes, man. I'm calling in reference to a lows his router. I've had it for a long, long time, you know, many, many years. And then all of a sudden this morning it it it lost us. I couldn't log in anymore. But the lights on the the router was okay. And I'm at the wrong phone to to talk to. Can you hang on one second? I'm gonna switch all this here. Okay. Okay, can you hear me?
01:00
Speaker 2
Thank you for calling System this is Maya, how can I help?
01:00
Speaker 1
Okay. And and uh uh the the it's uh it's old ma'am. It's uh it's the link of WRT 1900 ACS and and uh I was online this morning and and uh on AOL and all of a sudden uh I lost the internet. And then when I looked that there was none to any of the computers or on my phones. Uh so I took the cable that comes in you know to the router and I went from the router right to one of the computers and it worked. So I said well the problems with the thing but but there was no trouble light on the 1900 ACS. Just the the white lights were flashing, you know? So so all of a sudden [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence]
02:00
Speaker 2
Yes, I can. [silence] Mm-hmm. Okay.
02:00
Speaker 1
Well, playing with it on the computer screen, all of a sudden, there's a set up page come up. And I was able [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
Uh, yeah. Uh, since you're calling for WRT-1900 ACS, just to let you know first that the router you're calling for, the support for that already ended just this year around March, March 11th. So, no support anymore for that router, no new firmware, but it doesn't mean that the router will stop working, only the technical support already ended, this just this year only. And, uh, as what you said, uh, all of the sudden this router stopped working and you cannot access anymore its settings. If you reset the router, you just need to set it up in order for it to work again.
03:00
Speaker 1
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
04:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Uh huh. Uh huh. Yes. So, if that's the case, you need to access the settings of the router. And by the way, it's no longer working with the Linksys app. No cloud access anymore for this type of router. You need to log in locally instead. This is just an advice, by the way. Uh I thought I mentioned this uh this WRT1900ACS is no longer being supported. Uh you can still try to work on that one.
04:00
Speaker 1
Oh. I understand what you're saying. But I guess the question is, now that it's set up and it's working, I was just worried that somebody had got a hold of something and changed something where, you know, then they could have access to my router.
05:00
Speaker 2
ever it's not really working. As a technician, I can suggest you to have it replaced instead to a newer one. This still has the old wireless standard for security purposes as well, and for better Wi-Fi connection. And also, if you have a new router, you'll be back in warranty. No matter how much I wanted to walk you through with this device you're calling for, it's just that we don't have the tools anymore from our end, given that the router's technical support already ended March this year.
05:00
Speaker 1
you know, but I didn't, I don't see any of that, you know? And the setup, the setup page just popped up and and it uh I filled all the information and I got copies of it and uh and it works, so I guess, I guess the main question is, uh I it should be safe for me to keep using it, I guess, for right now, uh or or till I replace it, you know. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah, you can still keep that, you can still use that router. It's just that you need to troubleshoot it on your own. We have our website linksys.com. We have AI there which you can ask any linksys questions. And it will also provide you troubleshooting. Right now I cannot uh walk you through how to fix the router since the router's warranty and also the support for that one already ended. You can still try to. Yeah, you can.
06:00
Speaker 1
Right. Now, I, I, I'd go ahead and buy a new one, but, but, but since, since I was able to reset it up and it's working, it, for right now, anyway, for the present, it should be okay, I guess is the main question. I, that's what I was worried about. Yeah. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, cause, cause, okay. Okay. But just one last little question, if you would, before you go. Why did it change?
07:00
Speaker 2
fix that. But again, if ever it's not really working, then better to have a new router. It should be okay. Yeah. It's okay. Do you still use that? As long as you can fix it, yeah. You don't have to worry. It's still secure to use that router nowadays. All right. If ever you'll have a new router and if ever you still choose Linksys, you can call us. We're open 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. so that we can help you to set up the new router, okay?
07:00
Speaker 1
change all of a sudden this morning. I wonder why did it why did it drop my settings? Don't know that. Uh. Okay. Okay. All right. Well, I'll I'll I'll use it for right now and then I'm going to start looking for a new one that I can replace it with, you know. And that way, because it's this is the
08:00
Speaker 2
Ah, yeah. I, I can't really give you a, a specific or an exact answer for that since we don't have any access to your router. So probably there is a quick, um, internet outage, uh from your modem which the Linksys router was unable to recover after. That's one of the probable reason. Or maybe due to its, um, age since this is already an old router. So those are the probable reason why. Hmm. Okay. Sure.
08:00
Speaker 1
I've been working for so many years, you know. I mean, Jesus, eight, 10 years. So. Yes, ma'am. Well, listen, I really appreciate your time. I owe you anything, ma'am. Do I owe? OK. OK. Thank you so much, ma'am. OK, bye bye.[silence]
