Speaker 1
Well, they cut my internet and they could not fix what they did. So I had to call, have Spectrum come out and reset and figure everything else out. And so with Spectrum coming out, they installed a new modem. We kept my linksys router. Now, all of my, all of my apps on my phone, my all of my smart plugs, smart light bulbs, my cameras, everything does not work. And so, I just talked to Spectrum and they told me that I needed to call you all so that you can walk me through turning on the 2.4 gigahertz in the linksys router.

Speaker 2
a Linksys router is a W RT 1200AC. And your internet service provider, you mentioned earlier that it is Spectrum. And now before we proceed, um, Rebecca, I would like to set expectation regarding of the warranty status of your Linksys router. Um, as of now, we are no longer manufacturing this one. It's already reached its end of life and end of support, and I highly recommend that it's time for you to do an upgrade or purchase a new one. [silence]

Speaker 1
You messed me up. This is not okay. Well, what if this was a brand new router? Then what, what instructions would you give me? All right. Very good. You're useless as well. So just like AT&T. Thank you.
