Speaker 1
[silence] The issue is there's body and I appreciate your help. Yeah, you're my only hope. [noise] It is um, these are the ones when I use my my Wi-Fi for Wi-Fi calling, I get a lot of drops. A lot of drops and I got good, good, good internet service. It is, you know, a spectrum 500, I you know, 500 more than 500 like 600 up and 200 down. You know, I tried [noise] you know, the and I'm not far from from the router. You know, I I reset it, you know, I try again and uh but everything, you know, comes to the same thing. [noise] I thought, I hope I was going to work. Then I started talking to someone, I, I my call drops. You know, and the telephone company is. In the area where I live, it's, you know, it's very bad reception. So, you know, they, they insist, you know, use Wi-Fi, because you're not going to get, you know, good reception in your area. [silence] I was using Timo And they gave me a self spot. [silence] And the self spot, of course, they work with the, they pick up the signal and amplify it. But they, they phased it out. So it's not an option now. And I, and I should be working with Wi-Fi. [silence] I have a lot of people that use Wi-Fi. [silence] You know, but it's not You know, in my case [silence] I have dropped calls. Is there any trick, any fix that you can tell me to do in the configuration? [silence] We just cut the configuration here open. [silence] Are you there? Yeah, I'm here.
08:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, I'm here.
09:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I am far away from you. Can you hear me well right now or not? No, I can't hear you now, but I mean, what I understand is that you are by the mountain in Bolivia, and the speed, and the call is dropping, right? Yeah, when I get phone calls using Wi-Fi calling with my iPhone, you know, it's an iPhone 7, uh, 70, it was a 70 Pro Max, uh, the latest model. And, you know, and it drops. And my signal as well, as strong, you know. Um, I, are you using VOIP as a matter of fact? Because I can see also a week, see, you know, your connection is a little weak too, you know, I don't know. I don't know what it is. Anyway.
10:00
Speaker 2
No, I can hear you now, but as far as I mean, what I understand is that you have 500 Mbps subscription speed and the call keeps dropping, right? [silence] [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
I really appreciate your help buddy. Tell me, what can I do? I tried different things, you know, like, I divided the band, you know, I divided you know separated, you know, 2.4, 5.4, and separated. And I shut down the six, beyond, but the six should we should be working only with, you know, along with should be working with where I guess with the with the iPhone, I think it's the same technology. Is that right or not? Should the should the six band be working? But you know, when I was setting it up, you say, you know, you better have another, no, you know, you could better put another band, like, like 5.4 or 2.4. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
I yeah, this router have 2.4 and 5 gigahertz band.
11:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. yeah that's what I'm using and you know should I should I keep the six the six on or off? yeah oh yeah yeah this one yeah yeah this is the hydra yeah but easy but is there any advanced settings that I can use to get a better to get a to get a better reception and avoid
12:00
Speaker 2
we can separate if you want but right now it's currently combined, it works automatic. So it goes up to 2.4 and 5 gigahertz automatically. [silence] and that's [silence] well if you're I'm not sure if there's six gigahertz for this one. there's one. Well if your device is compatible to to that band then uh say just turn it on, leave it on. Anyway you're are only those devices who use that bandwidth can connect to it. But if they're not compatible, they won't be able to connect.
12:00
Speaker 1
the drop calls or not it it it's maybe a channel issue that you can just change the channel or maybe it's the security mode it's probably on repeat mode or it's the one tree the express is now or you can edit back to you or it takes a first now okay okay wait a minute yeah okay okay I have here a question okay the um the WP the WP a 2 should be personal or should be should be WP 3 or WP 2 WP 3 which one should I use WP 3 personal that's for the 2.4 is that correct or the five point for the 2.4 and how about the [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
That, it's, it's all about Wi-Fi settings. So, just me, it may be a channel issue. You can just change the channel or maybe it's a security mode. It's probably on WPA to and three mix personal. You can set it back to or set it to WPA to personal. Or maybe a firmware firmware is not updated. WPA to personnel.
13:00
Speaker 1
And how about the 5.42, the personal, too. Now, so okay, for the 4.54, I should leave it on 5, I should put it on WPA3 personal or WPA2 personal, which one, two or three? WPA WPA personal, that's for the 54. Okay, and and the and the 6.0 doesn't matter, right? Huh? Yeah, doesn't matter. okay. You mentioned something about you know, there's like a firewall that I don't know about this, but I heard about it, that there's a firewall and the firewall sometimes you can say it.
14:00
Speaker 2
No, that that yeah, correct. That's for 2.4 and 5 gigahertz. Should be the same. The six gigahertz, you cannot change that. Leave it as WPA3. Do not change anything. WPA2 personal, the two. It doesn't matter, yeah.
14:00
Speaker 1
- it up to stay open for a little longer so it doesn't cut the communication something like that. It's something with a U. U. I don't know what the heck. I tried to find out about it. Some routers don't have that I guess. You know, it's access. I mean, gate access. No, it's no parental control. No, I don't have kids. Okay. Uh, priority. Should I use priority? No. Is that right? No priority. Hello? Hello. I say, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. It's kind of off. I know. Should I use priority or not? For certain devices. For certain devices, should I use priority or not?
15:00
Speaker 2
I'll open Duhn You gonna need to say again because I'm not hearing you You're too far Priority for What is it? Like the firewall What?
15:00
Speaker 1
High priority, high priority. If you want to, you should use that. Yeah. I heard that today. No, I don't want to take much of your time, but I need some issues. Anything that has to do with connectivity? Connectivity? No. Okay. Nothing with connectivity? Okay. How about the, no. Okay. Well, okay. Okay. Now, before I let you go, if this router doesn't work. disabling work. disabling what? Okay. you can note the express port for the. Oh yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Okay. Yeah.
16:00
Speaker 2
if you want to prioritize the devices you should use that however when they're online they consume more so if they're online they're going it's going to interfere with other devices connectivity none connectivity nothing with connectivity other than the parameter well you can try disabling the sorry sorry the connectivity you can go to administration you can disable the express forwarding make sure that also the application layer is turned on that's for the voip [silence]
16:00
Speaker 1
yeah, okay, okay, okay, let me see, um, okay, you to me in advance. Oh my goodness, a last connect. You want me to you tell me to go to Connectivity? yeah, yeah. I mean, administration. yeah, administration. I mean, I in administration. Okay, it says, it says, advanced, advance routing, administration. Okay, I am in administration. What can I do here? In administration? Okay, what is that bubble? What is that? What is saying looking for? A Okay, let me see. No access via wireless. No, I'd say I don't, I don't see it. I don't see where
17:00
Speaker 2
close you know, you do the expense forwarding. You can disable the expense forwarding. Sorry, the unfortunate not hearing you.
17:00
Speaker 1
is that, I said, you know, UP, UP and P NP is checked, should I leave it checked or not, UP and P, UP and P. Check or uncheck, should it be checked or unchecked? Check. Yeah, your B and B should be enable. Enable, okay, say allow users to configure. Okay. Also enable should be enabled. Yeah. The computer should be enabled. I'll allow users to disable internet access. Okay. You're not to disable, I'll leave it unchecked. Unchecked, okay. It says, you know, oh, it's preset forward, it's enabled. Should it keep enabled or disabled? Express. Disable. Or disable. Okay.
18:00
Speaker 2
yes that that's correct yeah that that should be yes so the yeah UPnP should be enabled that also should will will and able should be allowed user to configure should be enabled yeah do not disable that leave it unchecked, unchecked, yeah, how disable that by default it's enabled, so you can disable that.
