Speaker 2
Hello, ma'am. Thank you for patiently waiting. So, I have already sent an email, Ma'am. So I'm gonna turn on the recording, Maam. So so that we can proceed with the troubleshooting. All right. So, going back to the issue. Uh, since you mentioned that your internet service provider, uh, told you that their end, the devices online are working. So, for this one, let's try to reset and reconfigure this Linux router instead. So, uh, you're on the Linux router, Maam. Can you press and hold the reset button and do not release it until you see the solid blue light? Solid blue, Maam. Solid blue light.
11:00
Speaker 1
Oh, wait. Did you not put the block on the signal yet? Oh, OK. Can I, should I, should I?[silence] You're the best. Does it take a while, though? OK. Can I, OK. release, um, from tostrc's keyboard. That's the thing you'd have to operate on your end anyway.
12:00
Speaker 2
All right. No worries.
12:00
Speaker 1
Oh, could, could, could I unplug the link this here and take it to the house? uh, okay. Right. uh My laptop, yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay, so it's solid pink now. Okay.
13:00
Speaker 2
Yes, ma'am. Yeah. Oh, no, ma. The links router should always be wired directly to this internet service provider device in the modem, which is the one provided by your internet service provider. It is the source of the internet. However, ma, by the way, uh the computer that you have is it a laptop or a desktop computer? The that laptop. All right. So don't worry, uh we will use the laptop later, ma'am, if ever this router is not be able to get online. Uh-huh. Okay. So, let's reconfigure this router using the five press settings method. So, again, on the linksys router, press the reset button five times within five seconds. So it's like press, release,
13:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Yes, it was flashing red while I was doing it. Now it's a solid pink. Okay. While we're waiting, could I just ask you, so the phone or the, what, has a phone hook up in the back. There's a yellow light flashing back there. That should not be flashing.
14:00
Speaker 2
press release, press release, five times. Thank you. All right, and let's wait for its light to flash, where that indicates that it is already trying to detect the internet connection coming from your mod FF.
14:00
Speaker 1
flashing should at the back the internet cable... there's a green light and a... Oh yeah there's a green light and there's a yellow light. The green light is solid, the yellow light is blinking. Is that correct or...? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um It's still showing solid pink. Yup. Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
On the LAN port ma'am, are you referring to the LAN port on the linksys router? Like at the back...internet. So on, so it's flashing or blinking, correct? uh-huh That's fine, ma'am. Yes, ma'am, that's fine. Uh, that means or indicates that the port is working. So what's the light behavior on the linksys router now? Is it still showing solid pink? I see. Uh, can you press again the reset button on this router five times within five seconds? Thank you.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It's white now. Oh, okay. It's white and it's just very slowly flat, like, on and then off and then on. Yeah. Uh-huh, it is. Okay.
16:00
Speaker 2
All right, so is it now, flashing, flashing white or red? All right, that's great to know. That means that this router is now trying to detect the internet connection coming from your modem. So for now, we will observe its light for one, it's a minute. Thank you.
16:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it's gone blue, solid blue. Okay. Okay. Um, um, um, um, Let me, let me have a look.
17:00
Speaker 2
all right however we will wait for another minute just to make sure that it is already working our online all right however solid blue that uh solid blue that means that the node sorry the router is already working so again to make sure we will wait for another minute and by the way ma'am does your phone have a Lingus app hmm no worries
17:00
Speaker 1
Oh, what, what does the icon look up like for the app? Uh, Okay. Um, I don't see. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oops, I just Uh, nope, I just looked up and it's Sorry, I just looked up and the light is a solid red right now. Okay. On the lens see or the router at my
18:00
Speaker 2
, it has a, it has a big letter L and the color of that one is blue and it has a back background, sorry, black background, like color black. Don't worry, man, if you don't have one, we can just install it on your phone. So is the light on this I'm sorry, solid red. I see. So that means that this router does not have an internet connection. So, uh can you like reboot or restart the modem, man? So for reboot or restart, you may simply unplug and replug its power cord from the power outlet [silence]
18:00
Speaker 1
Oh, okay. The modem at my house. The linkless. Oh, oh, wait. Sorry. I'm not technical so router and modem and all these things. So you're not talking about the linkless units in the cottage. You're talking about the original piece at the house. Okay. So I need to go down there. I'm sorry. This is going to take a minute. I need to walk to the house again and unplug it. And when I unplug it, I just leave it unplugged for a few minutes or okay. So I don't need to wait any time. Okay. Yeah. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I have like this other device. It's like. Or do I or go to the. Do you need to go to like the non? Terrible. Got you. It's not terrible. Is it like. It's a, it's a, it's already connected to the router. It looks like an ethernet cord.

And also, since you are already on the box, can you tell me the model number of that device? because I want to make sure, or I want to check, if that device is also a router or just a pure modem.
20:00

Oh, okay. Thank you. Um, so while I'm waiting here, okay. So there's two boxes. One is a little black one called Comtrend. And do you need what? You need some sort of serial number or something on that? Um, is this the, this is the Linksys, right? This one, yes, no, the Linksys is, yeah, it's connected to the other box, not not the Comtrend. It's a big, it's a big white. Yeah, it's a big white box. [silence]

They're plugged in. It looks like this one lights are flashing, the other one. And you say this normally goes red? I think it's. OK. Cuz it flashing orange right now, but that'll just take a little bit of time. I don't know.
23:00
Speaker 2
so all right so both devices are already plugged in and can you also
23:00
Speaker 1
how many ports it's yes yeah there are two two ports there are two ports yep um yeah so there's number one and number two it's hooked into number two to wire that directly yeah so I can I'm gonna I'm in the house so I use my my computer here to do it
24:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry, ma'am. Can you also check how many ports or LAN ports this white box you have there. [silence] I'm sorry, are you able to see the yeah, all right. [silence] two ports. Uh-huh. And may I know which port is the lens router currently connected? [silence] Number two. All right. So going back to your laptop, does your laptop have an ethernet or LAN port? Like, can we wire it directly to this device, is it possible? [silence] Yes, ma'am. So [silence].
24:00
Speaker 1
And. Okay, so I need an internet cable on my computer. Uh hard and hook it into what? Okay, so if I do that I'll have to take the links out disconnected. And. Okay. Okay, and I yeah I need to find a [silence]
25:00
Speaker 2
However for now, yep for now kindly get your laptop and make sure that you have an extra Ethernet cable. And just let me know once you are back on the or near on the white box because I'm gonna walk you through on how to check if this back really has an internet connection. Mhm. Mhm, to that white block sorry white box, ma'am. Yes, so that's correct, so currently we are trying to isolate the issue since the linksys router does not detect or couldn't detect them.
25:00
Speaker 1
Can you help me find a cable? So I need a cable that has a phone line on one end and something that can plug into my computer. Ooh. Um, you have got one. I don't I don't know if I have a cable that looks like that. Okay. That's double-ended. Sorry, I'm just looking for a cable that might work does I'm not sure. Okay. Okay, thank you.
26:00
Speaker 2
yeah I and that and the name of that cable is ethernet huh no worries ma'am and kindly take your time you're most welcome
26:00
Speaker 1
So I just looked through all my cables. I don't think I have anything that would plug into, that has a phone cable on one end and a computer cable on the other. Is that like a specialty cable that I would find somewhere? Okay. Um, oh, okay. So I, sorry, I'm at the house with the white box.
27:00
Speaker 2
No, ma'am. It should, it should be the same cable as you use on the linksys router and it's not a telephone cable. Uh it's it's an ethernet or yeah land cable. So so if don't worry if you don't have one, uh you may just uh replug or reconnect the linksys router to this white box. Mhm.
27:00
Speaker 1
px and the length this unit is in the cottage. Do I go unplug it and bring it to the house? And connect it directly to the white box, okay, okay. But via a cable that's 100 feet long. Yes. Yes, okay. Yes, it is. Yes, I did. Okay, so so I need to go back up to the cottage, right?
28:00
Speaker 2
no ma'am Yeah. uh, Yeah. Yes, ma'am. So, all right, so, is this linister router still plugged into the white box? All right. And I assume you already rebooted or restarted the this white box as well, correct? All right, thanks so much for that one. So let's go back again to the linister router, ma'am. And then we will
28:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Thank you. I'm getting my exercise today. No, that's, oh, I appreciate your help so much. This stuff, I'm not good at this stuff. Okay. So I'm back, back in the cottage and the light is a solid red.
29:00
Speaker 2
ma'am. It's in a cottage. and I really do appreciate this one, ma'am. And I appreciate your cooperation. Thank you. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Solid, Right. [silence]
29:00
Speaker 1
Okay. yeah. Okay, got it. So I'll need to get my computer and the thought I'm having is when I bring my computer up to the cottage and unhook the internet cable from the Linksys and put it into my computer is that I won't have internet connection up here. It's
30:00
Speaker 2
Nice. So this that means ma'am that the router still does not have an internet connection and for this one we really need to isolate the issue. um by the way. Yeah, I really do apologize for this one ma'am. Uh did you bring the laptop with you? Because we can just like unplug the ethernet cable from the Linksys router and then wire your laptop directly. And once we do that or once we done that one, that's the time that we can check if the white box really providing internet connection to the other Linksys router. This.
30:00
Speaker 1
too far away from the house. Oh. Oh. Right. Got it. Yeah, okay. Oh right. Because it's like a phone line connection, is that correct? So I need that port on my computer. Okay, I don't I have a feeling that I don't. But I'm going to walk down there and see and I'll just bring my computer with me then.
31:00
Speaker 2
And however, since it is a LAND connection, your laptop should still be able to have an internet. As long as the whitebox has that internet connection. However ma'am, before we do that, you are certain that your laptop has an Ethernet or LAN, correct? Because not all laptops have that feature ma'am, or ports on their device. So, however you can double check that. Yeah. Yes. Yes ma'am. So, I see. So, if that, I understand then. So, I understand.
31:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Uh, Yeah. Okay. Hello? Oh, you're there. Okay. Um, Yeah. Um, okay. I mean, I kind of feel like I know it's working because we've used our computers here and we can see that we're online. Um, is there any way when they Oh, go ahead. Um, Oh, you're muted. Huh? Oh, go ahead. Okay. Um, yeah. We can hear you now. You can unmute. Um, go ahead.
32:00
Speaker 2
And ma'am and yo, we really need to do this one, Ma'am, since u, your internet service provider already mentioned that at their end, the device is online. However, if none of our work around works, uh, I'm afraid we you really need to contact again them, Ma'am and then double check if they're if on their end, the device is really working. However, rest assured, huh? However, Ma'am. yes, Ma'am. Yep. Still here. Like. Yes, sorry. Uh, when you say when when you say that your device is able to see it, do you mean that they can see the wifi net? [silence]
32:00
Speaker 1
Yep, I'm just online here at the house and so when I go to um, oh my system settings um, Hey Jim, sorry, can you help me here? Where do I see that we're connected down here? Oh, here we go. Right, is that it? And it says connected. What's a Thunderbolt Bridge? Okay, okay, um, so when I look on my computer, I'm in the cottage and it says, the internet, the, yeah, the network I have here is, it says connected, that is connected.
33:00
Speaker 2
Hi. What's the network or Wi-Fi name of the modem, Ma'am?
33:00
Speaker 1
That's correct, yes. Uh-huh. So, it doesn't. So you mean like a phone connection? Yeah, it does not have that. Yeah, yes, that's correct. It's internet too. Yeah.
34:00
Speaker 2
online as well, correct? Like when you tried to access – all right. So got that one. So on your lab top man, can you check if it has like an ethernet or a land port? Yes, ma'am. So, all right. And during the issue ma'am, since you, uh-huh, since you mentioned that your internet service provider, uh did change their devices, uh can you check again, to which port is this lens router connected to the Wi-Fi packs. because I believe you mentioned that it's currently connected or plug in to the ethernet LAN two or LAN two or ethernet two? Can you like unplug it first? [silence]
34:00
Speaker 1
transcription.
35:00
Speaker 2
from the Ethernet 2 and then plug it on the Ethernet 1 or LAN port 1. I see. So hold on, ma'am. Uh-huh. So, and this white box only have two ports, correct? I see. Got this one. All right. So for this one, ma'am, I really need I really need to apologize. Uh, we we really need to have a computer that can be warred directly to the LAN port too on this white box. Since
35:00
Speaker 1
Oh, oh, wait. You know what? You know what? Hang on. But I don't need a phone like I, I'm sorry. Can you help me one more time? If I have a cable that goes from there, it looks like two USB things that I can do. Hang on. Hang on. Do you see this? So, can you help me find a cable that will fit both of that? That won't fit in there. Hang on. I think that. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. It's a Mac. Right. Yeah.
36:00
Speaker 2
Again, this is the one of the source of the internet connection. And yes ma'am. Oops, it's... By the way, may I know the model of... alright. No worries. Ha. Thank you, ma'am. May I know the operating system of your laptop? Like is it a Mac or Windows? Ah. Ah I see. And for this one, you really need to have a word adapter or LAN adapter ma'am in order for this one. Like the Mac be, we are directly to this white box. However, so... [silence] So...
36:00
Speaker 1
Yep. It was. Yes, that's correct. Yes. Correct.
37:00
Speaker 2
So, your setup is the box box coming from your internet service provider connected to the land port one on this white box. So, we cannot unplug the able coming from the box, like the white box, since that's the source of, sorry, that's where the black box is currently connected to. By the way, was this white box also provided by your internet service provider? I see. I see. I got this one, man. And the one you mentioned earlier that your devices are able to see or connect to your network, that was, so that that network was coming from this white box, correct? Since it is also a router. All right, so there's no, all right, so that there's no doubt that the white box is online. [silence]
37:00
Speaker 1
um yeah okay i kind of feel like what i need to do what time is it gosh i just i i you know what i i have an appointment and yeah okay um i mean maybe what i should do is buy a cable
38:00
Speaker 2
or providing wireless connection. However, for its LAN port, like LAN port 2, the only way to check ma'am if that port is working is by hardwiring a device to it. And however ma'am, since we don't have a computer that can be wired directly to that port. Is it possible to contact again your internet service provider and I will be like providing or processing a call back within 5 to 10 minutes to check what's happening on the specific port on the LAN port ma'am on this white box. Please.
38:00
Speaker 1
where I can hook my computer to the white box and then call back would that be useful? Yeah. turn turned on or off? sorry off. okay. okay.
39:00
Speaker 2
e-Yes ma'am, that would be the one of the work-a-rounds as well? Yes, you need to purchase, uh what you call this, a word adapter on for your MAC. And then once you have that one, just unplug the cable coming from the linksys router, and then word your PC directly into the white box. So once the PC is worded, ma'am, check if the computer or your MAC is able to get online. However, before you test or during the test, make sure the Wi-Fi the Wi-Fi network or features on the MAC is turned off. So that you're only. Yeah. Sorry, off, ma'am. Turn off. So if your computer is able to get online while word to this white box, and also, while the Wi-Fi is turned off,
39:00
Speaker 1
Okay. All right. Um, so I guess the only thing I can do is go and buy the cable and then make another call. And could I get you? Is there any way of getting you directly? Okay. Oh, great. Okay. Super. Um, great. Okay. So you have a phone, a phone number I should call.
40:00
Speaker 2
That means that the port is really online or working and that's the time that we need, we need to further isolate or troubleshoot the links is router. And don't. Yes. I I really do apologize, man, but you might be uh interrupted mm with or be assisted with another technician. Sorry, another technician. However, I will be providing you a ticket number so that the next technician can easily pull out your records and also you still have 30 minutes here so that you can just continue this paid service with the next technician, okay?
