Speaker 1
This is Linksys technical support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a Linksys specialist. Hello, sir. Awesome. All right. Okay. So the parent node is still wired to the modem. How about the child node? Is it connected to anything?
00:00
Speaker 2
No, it's just plug into the outlet for the connection I was using was wired, but they go upstairs and get near everything now. I'll be in route going. Okay. All right, I'm on the way.
00:00
Speaker 1
All right. Okay. All right, so to the back of the parent node, uh, there should be a cable coming from the modem, uh, that goes to the internet port to the back of the parent node.
01:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Okay. I am upstairs now.
01:00
Speaker 1
Okay. And is there another cable plugged into the back of the parent node, aside from the one that's coming from the modem? All right, okay. Let's disconnect that for now. Yeah, the non-internet. Okay. So, the Wi-Fi that you created when you set up the nodes, it's still being detected by your devices? Uh, if devices connect to it, but there's no internet access? Mhm.
02:00
Speaker 2
and there is. Yes. There's one that connects to a a stand-alone hard drive. The the non-internet one. Okay. It is now disconnected. Okay.
02:00
Speaker 1
So I already test or you did a test connection directly to the modem and it provided Internet from my right?
03:00
Speaker 2
Yes, that is the case. Yeah, at one point we did do that and we had a temporary, uh momentary connection and then the light on the, uh, [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Hmm. Oh. Okay. Well, here's what I suggest we do, sir. Let's turn off or let's unplug both the modem and then the parent node to turn them off. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
node went red. At the moment I am, my computer is logged into my router. .info.u UT uh where it was when I was speaking with the other specialist. Uh just turn them
04:00
Speaker 1
and plug them completely from the wall outlet. Okay. Alright. And the cable between the modem and then the parent node, uh just leave it connected. Okay. And then here's what we'll do next. Uh, at the back of the modem, there's this coaxial cable. Uh, right, it does have that coaxial cable.
05:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay. All right. Now they're all unplugged. And the light is off in the router. All right. The kids.
05:00
Speaker 1
I mean on the modem, this, what they call the spectrum modem. Okay. let's unscrew that. Coaxial. yeah. Okay. all right, that's okay. Uh, for now we just need the coaxial cable.
06:00
Speaker 2
so I have a cat five cable that's connected from the modem to from the parent from the node to the modem oh I'm sorry yes there is a coax cable connected to the wall outlet that goes down to the down screw this one okay all right that's good and then there's also a connection to our telephone
06:00
Speaker 1
unscrewed, uh, all right, now here's what you'll do next. throw back the coaxial cable, yeah, to, to the spectrum modem. Okay. Now, plaque
07:00
Speaker 2
okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Alright, can I have it reattached? [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
Well, plug in just the modem, plug it in. Turn on. Yeah, only the modem. No, just leave the connection. Yeah, power on the modem. Okay, so.
08:00
Speaker 2
turn the motor back on okay so I should disconnect the router connection okay okay I should power on the modem then okay
08:00
Speaker 1
let's wait for the modem to completely boot up before we log back the parent node. Yeah. make sure both ends of the power adapters securely plugged in.
09:00
Speaker 2
and not seeing anything happening here with the muted voice both ends of what
09:00
Speaker 1
Oh, the power adapter. Is it not powering on? What's happening? Okay. Yeah, make sure the power jack to the back of it is securely plugged in, as well as the one that goes to the wall outlet. Maybe, maybe this modem has a switch you need to switch it on. Okay. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
So no lights are on in the motor bend? Yeah, both of them are in. Oh, hang on. See, okay, Yeah, there is a switch. Okay. I've got some lights now.
10:00
Speaker 1
All right, let's wait for it to completely boot up. How many lights should be lit up when this modem is online? Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
And now that's interesting. The power might go off. Well, that's a reset button.
11:00
Speaker 1
All right, but how many lights are shown now? Okay. Okay. But, but earlier it was booting up, right? OK. Yeah. Yeah. Try it. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
Okay, it does not have an on-off switch. It has a reset switch, really none there's uh there's a excuse me, a power, uh power one and an online one. Neither one is is on. I believe so. Um, it's facing the wall so I didn't really observe it previously. So I disconnect it, turn the power off and turn it back on. All right.
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Maybe I need to plug it into another wall outlet. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay, I did it and nothing is happening. I'll try it. Hang on. Oh. Oh. Oh okay no it'll it'll Switched outlets here and still, nothing's happening. Let me try one other team here. Let me try one other outlet here. Still nothing happening here with this modem.
13:00
Speaker 1
But when you initially plug it in, it did have lights, right? Okay.
16:00
Speaker 2
I don't know. Like I say, the lights were against the wall. I never paid any attention to it. I did not see them. [silence] Is it possible that the modem is the culprit here?
16:00
Speaker 1
Well, it looks like it. If it's not powering on, then we can't get the notes to go online without the Internet source. So... the spectrum modem. Okay. I... should it be steady? Uh-huh.
17:00
Speaker 2
Four, three. The, it looks like the, the online light on the modem is blinking white. Yes, the spectrum motor there. Uh, I don't think it's still booting.
17:00
Speaker 1
Still flashing.
18:00
Speaker 2
And no, it stopped flashing now. Yes. And there is nothing. I can see there That would be illuminated, and neither one is on, or if they're on, it's extremely dim.
18:00
Speaker 1
And just to be sure, you're using the power adapter that came with the modem. Do you did not somehow swap it with the apparent noise power adapter?
20:00
Speaker 2
I don't know, perhaps What's that? A white cable. the uh Uh I have a veritable snake's nest of cables I
20:00
Speaker 1
Uh are you swapping it? The power adapters.
21:00
Speaker 2
[silence] I don't know. I'm trying to find there should be an extra adapter here someplace. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. [silence].
21:00
Speaker 1
Okay. All right.
23:00
Speaker 2
All right. I'm going to try a different uh, power thing here. On the modem here. Does a router come with a white cable? they may have that and switch that I've put the other are table on to the mood and still nothing is happy Okay, I just put the white cable back into the modem and it's come on here with a blue light. Now, now the white is
23:00
Speaker 1
uh no that's okay so this is the spectrum modem right uh so hold on so you plug back the parent node.
25:00
Speaker 2
Uh, it was all right. Well, now it's blinking blue. Should I disconnect it again? Uh. Yeah, the spectrum modem is not doing anything now. Do I need to replace that, it looks like? Uh. The error message is, uh,
25:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So, the modem is off. I mean, no lights. Okay. I know. If you reset the modem, there's no way for me to assist you on how to set it up again, because that's from a different brand. [silence]
26:00
Speaker 2
powered up and connected to, connected to the, uh internet modem. It's, it's plugged in but there's no lights to it. I mean there are no lights on, if I press the reset button, do I need to hold it or anything like that? Okay. Okay. Well, I mean it's, it's acting like it's, uh, it's, uh, dead.
26:00
Speaker 1
So this modem, does it have its own Wi-Fi? Okay. All right. But then the parent node is still wired to the modem. Okay.
27:00
Speaker 2
out commission. Just a second. I'm going to ask my wife if the TV is still working. It's got two connections. It has a TV and a Wi-Fi two. Is the TV on? Okay. Thanks. Okay, so the cable modem is working, but the internet component is not. Yes. it is. And now it's got a white light.
27:00
Speaker 1
about the child note. Yeah. Is it flashing? All right, uh, unplug it and then bring it close to the perineal node, then plug it there. Yeah. Yeah.
28:00
Speaker 2
Hey, that's downstairs, so I'm going to stay come up. I got the phone with me, so we can stay in touch here. Okay. The child node has a red light. No, it's solid. Can you bring it up, put it upstairs with the other one? Okay.
28:00
Speaker 1
Okay. The parent node, does it still have a white light? Okay. A couple of folks just a All right. Alright, let's see if it'll go, go white as well just like the other nodes. Do you have the linksys app? On your phone? Okay. Is your phone connected to the Wi-Fi coming out of the nodes?
29:00
Speaker 2
no, the child one is a blinking blue. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping to see here. On the phone, yes. Yes. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 1
the flashing light on that child node. Okay. Let's give it two more minutes. Okay. Let's open open the link to that.
31:00
Speaker 2
Okay, a child node just went red. Okay. Okay, and yes, my phone, uh, does have, I can get to the internet on it. Okay. As it's looking for routers, wants me to log in with the router password. Mhm. Have to get the key. Trying to get the keypad to come up here so I can do that.
31:00
Speaker 1
What do you mean by, "Did it log you in?" Okay. The error message is, uh-huh,
33:00
Speaker 2
No, I can't get a, uh, get the keypad to come up unless the router, looking for routers. No, uh, but when I tap tap the, uh, router password box, I don't get a keypad. Now, I don't know. Uh, how do you do this? How do I do this on my PC? It's still...
33:00
Speaker 1
i know that's okay so on your computer are you on the main page like it shows uh the network status okay yes so that's on the computer browser it's asking for the email and password and also just the password
34:00
Speaker 2
I'm connected to my router. So should I shut that down? It says log in, email, not in email, and router passwords, and then there's a gray box for me to put in my email address in. I have no idea. Well, it says it's... Okay.
34:00
Speaker 1
But, you know, the password, right? So – I'm gonna try and log in. [silence] The cookies are paid, are you – is it logged in or it's still Chana? Yes. [silence] Okay. [silence] I'll try to log into the computer, but I see the message, packing please wait or doing this while you 'Draw the work prompt that ha done. [silence] The cmli color's all right. [silence] If I hit Accept Continue, I think I'm supposed to – [silence] – it will be said in the backup. [silence] The information will be empty, or it'll mess up the system, since I don't have any experience.
35:00
Speaker 2
Is it wants the password? It wants, when it comes up, it says, you know, even email is in bold type, router, password, it's got a, it says router password on a gray bar, but I can't get the keypad to come up anything to allow for me to input anything.
35:00
Speaker 1
Okay, and then below that, there's an option that says, 'for local access, click here.' [silence]
36:00
Speaker 2
Email address and password. No, there's ... Let me try to access here with the ... Oh, I didn't like the email address. I used my Yahoo email.
36:00
Speaker 1
So, what was the address you used to reach this page? Okay. Going back to the child node, what's the behavior of the light on top of it? Is it not flashing?
37:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Oh. It's says my router.info but that's not the original. Um I'm [silence] shutting everything down here. [silence] It it it is still red. [silence] No. and it's not can it is it
37:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Alright, let's try to fix the log in to the interface and on onto the app. So, you've entered my router.info. You're on the page where it's asking for the email and fast... okay, it's just the router password.
38:00
Speaker 2
just has the power on that's the only connection that I've got is is a power connection if you know it's just sitting here red and get buck okay now on the phone. Yeah, I just initiated the Lynksis app again. And it wants email and password, email and router password. Well, there are two bars. One says
38:00
Speaker 1
yes No, No, sir. No, uh tap on the one that says router password. Okay. let's go let's forget the links is that on your phone? Let's go back to your computer. If there's any audio, you could just take your phone and put it next to the computer so you could hear the instructions. And you could tap on the phone while you're listening on the computer with headphones. So just take your phone and tap on the phone with your finger so God approves.
39:00
Speaker 2
The connecting to the internet while the other says use your router password and I would think I'd have to enter an email address first and then the router password, but just do a it. Okay. now I can't the hit and I'm not able to get anything. It doesn't bring up the the keypad to uh enter. Okay.
39:00
Speaker 1
Okay, open the browser. Then log on to my router.info. [silence]
40:00
Speaker 2
Now, all right. I don't have anything then. I've got a set from scratch. Okay.
40:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Well, we don't need the app on the computer. That's a different thing. That only works on an on a phone [incomprehensible]. So what we need is a browser on your computer. We need to open it. And then we need to log on to myrouter.info. So, what does it show you? [silence]
41:00
Speaker 2
I don't have the app on my computer. Okay, all right. Okay, I've done that.
41:00
