11:00
Speaker 2
got it check here and also may i know your internet service provider point all right ok so based on the information that i have here then with this nuxus router that you have just to set the proper expectation that this router is a standalone router you cannot add any child nodes for this router or you cannot let me double check here ah yes you cannot add
11:00
Speaker 1
So, well, I've got I don't okay, so I'm a little dumb on the mesh router. Why tell me what would I why would I need a mesh router? Well, I already have an I have an extender already. I have the, I have a netgear extender I was hoping I could connect because I just bought the netgear a few months ago and it works. Um, so, uh, it looks like we have [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
if your house is big enough and you want to expand the connectivity or the signal of your or boost your signal of your Wi-Fi then you can just use the mesh router but if you just want a Wi-Fi connection then you can use this one the one that you just purchased since its a Wi-Fi I see [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
I open this to am. Well, I just rebooted my internet just to make sure. I don't know, right, but I haven't done it this morning. There's still a blinking light on there. Maybe it's my internet. Uh it's a solid white.
13:00
Speaker 2
And also, you can tell me what's the light status after you set up this router. [silence] And also, you can tell me what's the light status after you set up this router. [silence] And also,
13:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. I'm wondering... So let me ask you, with an extender, would it still work with this router? Thank you.
14:00
Speaker 2
All right, so it's solid white, but it says no Internet connection when you try to open any websites. Let me double check what that meant. One moment here.
14:00
Speaker 1
What does a blinking light mean? can. Awesome. It's solid white. Yeah, reopened everything again just to make sure. Let me go to a Linksys. All right. Um, no, I was having problems with that one.
16:00
Speaker 2
All right. So, Yessam, you can add the extender to this router that you have, ma'am. Yes, you can. And since you just bought up your router, right? And what's the light status? All right. So, did you connect your phone, ma'am, to the Wi-Fi that you created?
17:00
Speaker 1
Last night, let me see, is that probably why the let me check ser.
18:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] yes kind of check the wi-fi names if you can find a network that you've created or still you can find the default wifi name. All right um with this device that you have m it's not you will find by doing the reload. Okay again as of the moment I still cannot see the name that we created or the name that we change okay the name that we changed. So are you also checking the list of it? All right same problem here. Once again fault a computer and I see the same thing. All right okay so this guy it? It's not all right. Show it know wi-fi connection m then it comes back to same thing another thing here is not there you can see that you see the normal default wi-fi name when you restore. All right so knowing that you're having is not right here then so when I do one and then it changes to it create one. And then you'll see this and you have the wi-fi name but then when you do another it turned to green and red All right I will do the same okay so when the reload you can see em back to his default after the reload the proper settings are the big name again. Oh but why is it on em port? Okay reset of the both setting all right custom name and the default name. All right well now you can your newly installed same name and I can see yours yours listed. Okay all right okay. All right that's okay so you need to remove duplicate of the device name em so we can create a network other than this name and that's it.
18:00
Speaker 1
Let me see. All right. Let me see. Yeah. All right. So my laptop which is a Mac is working. It's locked in wirelessly so that's good. Um, Let Let me see.
19:00
Speaker 2
i have compatible or supported by the linksys app because the base and i have here but kindly open any website and see if your internet is working does your devices already connected to your network all right.
19:00
Speaker 1
Why would this not work? I mean, well, I guess it's working now. I wonder, this router that I have, is it, it's up to 3000 square feet, correct? Okay. And then, but this does not allow for the modes to to extend? Like you've got another router that, that's the, the mesh lets you add other extenders, correct? Perfect. So, on this router, I see, um, there's the internet plug-in, then there's four ports. What are those ports for?
20:00
Speaker 2
Yes, it's a fuller, it can cover up to 3,000 square feet max. Um yes it will it will not add other channels but however, you can add an extender to this.
20:00
Speaker 1
Hardwired. Okay, that's all I needed to know. Um, okay. Well, hmm, let me go and see. It may be that I just need to get my extender up and running to reach these other, other TVs and such to connect. So let me try that, because it does look like it's working now, because last night it was just kicking off. Um, and it may have been it just was barely within reach. Would you say that's a possibility? Okay. All right, I'm going to play with this a little bit more. If I need help, I'll call back. But thank you so much. I forgot about the app. Oh, you know what, let me see. Hold up before I let you go. So you're saying the Linksys app won't work with this, is that what you just said?
21:00
Speaker 2
Uh that port is if you want to, uh, edit wire directly. Uh huh. Mhm. Um yes, you can. Yes, you can try to check that one out there and just observe the connection. Alright, thank you. Yes, yes ma'am. It will work on that router directly.
21:00
Speaker 1
Why dough is the mouth shorten? Is it just a less expensive one? So why wouldn't the app work with it? That just doesn't. Why would they not allow this to work with the app? Oh, so, yeah, just go into the IP address. This is how I need to work this thing. All right. So let me ask you Well, why it's got you here then on that? When we get to that, um I'm going to log back in and you can kind of guide me. Um let's see. I think I've already changed.
22:00
Speaker 2
it's not supported by the Linksys app but you can access it on the browser the way you access it earlier or you set it up earlier using the IP address. it's one of the expensive and the latest router, Ma'am, of the Linksys. um because this router have um many settings that you cannot access on the app that's why it's not supported. Yes, yes, Ma'am.
22:00
Speaker 1
Not good. Okay, cool. All right, I'm logging into the IP address. So when I go to, like, if I want to have multiple, like, our guests, uh, so to speak, have their own interface, or wireless, let's see. *Because right now I have it set up, I've got our, um, our name, Verizon is our main, um, Wi-Fi to log into. But if I wanted a second one, where was the, is it, it was under, was it wireless? Um, *yes. Um, all right. So I've got wireless overview. Um, I've got Wi-Fi zero, Wi-Fi one, Wi-Fi two. So I can make each of these, um, so I've named Wi-Fi zero the way I want it. Wi-Fi one 1, I could edit that and make it, um, another name, right? Um, there, if guests, okay. And then I can save that, but how do I, let's see, do I go back and change? All right, so I've got bearer is guest. Um, how do, how did I change the? Well, they use the same password for various guest or do I need to, okay. Um, dad. Ah. I got it.
23:00
Speaker 2
Guess that. Let me double check it here. One moment.
24:00
Speaker 1
nevermind okay all right connecting. What? Uh, come on, try again. Give me a minute. What is it, baby? You've always already eaten. bye try again Oh wait, it needs to be close to it, that's right. All right, all right, all right. I remember now. Okay. Hello, you still there? Oh so I already found it that's fixed um I think we're good. So does this wi-fi allow for 2.5 and then the five whatever it is um the five gigahertz? Perfect okay. I think I'm good now. I've got my extender I'm setting it up and uh I'll call back if I need anything. Thank you so much You too bye bye. Bye bye [silence]
25:00
Speaker 2
Yes, ma'am. I'm still here. All right, so I, I guess, ma'am, it's allowed for 2.4 and 5 gigahertz. Thank you so much, ma'am. Have a good one.
