05:00
Speaker 1
It's 50 L, J 10 M 14 Z C 01854. Right. How about if I gave you the double the WPS number? I'm planning on putting it. All right, I'll give you, I'll read it again. Here we go.
06:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry, sir. Just to make sure it's correct. You mentioned it's 500LJ. No, sir, that won't work as we can only check the router's information through the serial number. I don't think our router's serial number starts with 500LJ. I mean, with three numbers because it's usually like a tune.
06:00
Speaker 1
5010 M14C 01854 Alright. I'm sorry about that. Right, correct. Yes. Yes it is.
07:00
Speaker 2
okay I think that would be right sir. it's ok sir no problem uh... by always sir uh... by means of connecting your uh... your router and your TV using the USB are you trying to um... have or enable communication for network access or internet to your TV? I see is your TV uh uh uh a smartphone uh I mean a smart TV?
07:00
Speaker 1
Uh, my TV is wireless. I have it hooked up now, but the router is hooked up by USB, but it's it did register the setup, but it's not there anymore. I don't know why. What's that? It's the hook.
08:00
Speaker 2
Well, um, actually, sir, it sounds like the TV is unable to detect the Linksys Router's Wi-Fi network, and connecting a USB device between the router and the TV will not enable communication for network access. Have you tried connecting it wirelessly through Wi-Fi if your TV is wireless? I mean, if your TV is smart, uh, what is that? USB is for, what, what's the purpose of the USB?
08:00
Speaker 1
It's the hook it up... the hook up the router to the TV. Yes. No, it's uh, it's a USB cable. Right. What if I reset it? Yes.
09:00
Speaker 2
um. is it. um. is it a wired ? USB you're referring to? do you mean, uh, ethernet cable? not USB. it's a USB cable. okay. okay. uh. there we go. okay, sir. uh.... All right. let me just... confirm with you, was this working fine before? I see. uh, well, you don't really have to reset it right away, sir. it would be your last resort. so, for now, what I can suggest...
09:00
Speaker 1
okay, I'll do it that way. Ah, it, I'm using a hotspot off my phone, which is Google Wi-Fi. Yes. Yes. Right. Uh, that's, that's your
10:00
Speaker 2
it is to like do a sequence reboot on your network to refresh it by unplugging both your modem and your router from the power source and then plugging it back in after 30 seconds, starting with your modem, and wait for your modem to stabilize before you plug in back your router. Okay. By the way, sir, may I also know who's your internet service provider? Uh oh, so you're connecting your router to that Hotspot from your phone. So you don't have like internet service provider.
10:00
Speaker 1
Northern service provider. I got. Yeah. No, sir. I'm using I'm using the hotspot off my phone the power the TV the the Wi-Fi on the TV and I'm trying to utilize the router with the USB cable to the TV so I can send a signal Google Google G-O-O-G-L-E Google Fi. Right? G-O-O-G.
11:00
Speaker 2
That's the only service provider you got. I'm sorry. What was that again? Yes sir. What am I asking is, who is your internet service provider? Like you're you're internet service provider. Can you spell that one? Google.
11:00
Speaker 1
OK. Now, do you want me to unplug it? OK, I'm going to unplug it right now. OK, the router is unplugged. Right, I just have the hotspot off my phone.
12:00
Speaker 2
Oh, Google, fiber. Okay. Mm-hmm. I see. All right. Got it, sir. Okay. Okay. Um, uh, let me just finish up the record here, sir, and let me check your device here. Um, all right. So, okay. Um, before anything else, sir, uh, let me... But yeah, initially, you can perform the the troubleshoot thing, the sequence for a bit. Yeah. Uh, as well as the modem. Oh, you don't have a modem, right? Mm.
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Correct. Right. Do you need any other numbers?
13:00
Speaker 2
yeah, just wait for at least 30 seconds, sir. Okay, so your only problem right now, sir, is connecting your TV, right? Other devices were able to connect to your Wi-Fi, okay. No need, sir. But I've checked here your device on our system, and just to set your expectations, sir, the device that you have right now is actually already part of our end-of-life devices, which means we no longer manufacture this one and update its firmware. Also, looking at here, your links it.
13:00
Speaker 1
okay well I'll I'll come work thank you for telling me that I'll try some other methods and I'll go to some of my friends that are wizards at this stuff I'll go that route so since it's out of warranty there's nothing I can do about it right now and I'm like caught between I'm caught between paydays
14:00
Speaker 2
This router, your Lensys router's, warranty had expired way back 2023. Unfortunately, sir, for out of warranty devices, we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance over the phone. However, we do have an ongoing support through our paid Canix service for a one-time fee of $15. But it still it's not a guarantee that it will work, but I I Um, huh. Okay, sir. Mhm. But I can, uh. Uh-huh. But I get, uh, I see.
14:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I got you. No, that's all right thank you very much. You did very well. Thank you. Okay. You too. Take care. [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
So the next troubleshooting steps you can perform after the power cycling the device won't work. All right, all right, sir. So thank you so much for your understanding, sir. Rodolfo.
