Speaker 2
state at gmail.com. And who is again your internet provider ma'am? Charter. Okay. All right. So, ma'am, since you don't have wireless connection right now using your Linksys router, okay, it could be that your wireless router is not communicating with your modem. So there's a need for you to reconfigure that. And upon checking here in our system, your router EA8300, ma'am, is already out of warranty, okay? It's even one of our legacy routers, okay? It's one of our end of life routers. When we say end of life, Linksys is no longer manufacturing that particular router. So there will be no update, no further development for that router, and the technical support ma'am is also not covered for that. Uh, the technical support and [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
I can't get on. I can't, I can't get on the website. Wait a minute, how do I use my Charter modem if it's connected to my Wi-Fi? I have, no clue how I would do that.

Yes, but uh you can use your uh uh Charter modem for you to be able to go online or you can use your phone. If you have uh data on your phone. You may actually disconnect your Linksys router. Um you you may disconnect your Linksys router for the meantime or temporarily and connect your computer straight to the modems.
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now how will that help me? My question is, is this thing too old? Should I get a new one? Or what's the problem? How do I know it, uh, how can I be sure it's going to work, or have I get a new one if it's not working now? [silence] No clue how to do that.
09:00
Speaker 2
or if you at yeah if you have a uh if you have a phone um and you have data then you may actually uh connect your you may use your phone to access the uh your email or to open our website now you may go to support.linksys.com yes that would be getting or upgrading your new router ma'am is another option okay cuz I I've mentioned earlier this router is already well the problem with your system right now is
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so this one can't be updated, you're saying. Yeah, I don't understand why it stopped me working.
10:00
Speaker 2
The the router is not communicating with your modem. So there is a need for you to reconfigure the settings. And we know that it's not a hardware issue. There's just a need for you to reconfigure the settings properly. Okay. and and the the router is not getting the signal from the modem. But again um if there is a hardware issue then uh we cannot uh we cannot replace that since it's out of warranty. So getting a new router is also um another option here Miss Viva. If if you get a new router, you'll have free technical support. Okay. You'll get a free technical support and there will also be updates. So if there's a problem with the router, you can always update it or something. It cannot be updated ma'am since uh there's no updates available. No more further development for this router. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
If it was working before, nothing has changed. Why would it suddenly stop working? Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
Well, in some cases, the router will lose its signal from your internet provider. Could be that you experienced power outage or they did some updates from their end. That's why the link is lost, the connection from your modem. Because the router will just not reset itself if there's no, like, changes from your system. Could be that they had maintenance or they did an update from their end. That's why the Linux router lost its signal.
11:00
Speaker 1
called them and ask if they updated anything. Um, all right, so there's nothing that you can do basically. did I? Um, well, there, there aren't too many options. There are four cords behind it and four connections and that's it. You undo them and you redo them and it should work, right? I mean, it's not that
12:00
Speaker 2
Well, again, this way I'm offering you, ma'am, our website. Okay. It's a self-help tool. You can use your phone. If you're able to go online using your phone, you can visit that website support.com. I can also send you an email for the end of support. Yes. It may guide you. Okay. There's a problem shooting steps for you to be able to set up your router from that guide.
12:00
Speaker 1
It's more complicated than I can see here. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. Thank you so much. Thank you. You too. Bye-bye.
