Um, You know, okay, so what do I need to do with the router? Modem. [ silence ]
17:00
Speaker 2
turn off the modem. wait 30 seconds before you turn it back on. just unplug it from the power source. plug it back in. after that, you do the same on the router.
19:00
Speaker 1
OK, so I'm waiting 30 seconds before I plug the modem back in. Do I wait for the modem to completely finish booting up before I unplug the router. OK. OK. [silence]
20:00
Speaker 2
You can unplug the router and the modem at the same time, but wait, once you turn on the modem, wait till it's fully booted up before you turn back on the linux router.
20:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So I plugged, unplugged both of them and now I have plugged back in the modem and I'm waiting for it to go through the boot up process. [silence] We can go sit down for a minute. [silence] We just have to wait for that. for that and it takes that modem a while to completely boot up. [silence] Well, I'm waiting for the modem to boot up. It takes it a while.

Are there like independently connected networks in them? Are there like practically up in the ceiling and the laundry with them? I, um, I'm not sure. Okay. I'm gonna check it out. Um, um,
25:00
Speaker 2
what about the light on the top where the word link sits it's solid red do you have a computer that can be hardwired directly to the modem so you can test if the modem is really working
25:00
Speaker 1
can do it, but, oh, my, God, how strange. Well, actually, okay, I can take this to the other room. Hold on a minute. I'm gonna go plug in a computer. [silence] Well, uh, i've run into a problem. my laptop does not have an ethernet plug on it. How long will the battery last on this if I unplug it? Couple minutes, i think. Mhm. Uh, uh, uh. He's playing with another computer right now. What I said was, my, uh, laptop does not have an ethernet jack on it. I've got another computer. I'm gonna go plug it in I because it goes dead. Uh, I've got a plug in its power switch and then I'll
26:00
Speaker 2
The line's not really that good. Did you say something? Oh.
27:00
Speaker 1
attempt to plug in the Ethernet cable to it. [silence] Please, would you come and hold it here for a second for me? Okay, what am I supposed to do now? I believe this is okay.
28:00
Speaker 2
hello never let me confirm. So the computer now is directly connected to the modem, spectrum modem, correct? And your Linksys router, that's not connected to the modem right now, correct? You're working out. I'm not hearing anything from you.

The the this laptop here is now connected by the solid cable to the link sys ethernet port. Yes. Oh my God, I'm gonna have to get a ladder. And uh I'm gonna need somebody to hold the computer up in the air. I'll get the ladder.
31:00
Speaker 2
[silence] So your computer is not connected to your spectrum modem but to the Lynx router. Let's say this way. There's a cable connected the little cable connected to the internet port of the Lynx router. Disconnect that and connect it directly to your computer. If that's not possible just disconnect the cable
31:00
Speaker 1
Okay, here's the problem. Here's the problem, the cord goes through a wall. So I'm gonna have to uh a wall from one room to another room but hold on a minute, let's see if I can pull it through. Oh, hold on.[silence]
32:00
Speaker 2
okay the court is go it goes to where again then let's use the wall then the wall punch see if that's working
32:00
Speaker 1
