Speaker 1
[ ] apps have been working, okay? Basically like background applications that won't connect, too. Uhuh. yes. [silence] it was working fine yesterday and then when I called up my ISP, they had me disconnect from my router and connect directly to the ethernet cable and worked fine there as well. yes. For some reason, it was totally fine yesterday and then for some reason, when I went to go onto my desktop, it just decided not to do that. And uh, it's happening on my other devices as well through Wi-Fi. [ ] I'm sorry.
60:00
Speaker 2
So the Wi-Fi is working. Only that some of the application is not working. It was working fine before. So so like it stops. Just one day just stops right away. You cannot access it. Oh, so what website is that, sir? What website? [silence]

One of the websites that I usually visit and I can't seem to visit anymore is uh Reddit.com. And then uh the applications I can't seem to connect to is like Steam, uh the game service and then uh what is it uh Slack for uh my work and Discord. Yeah, cuz I never had an issue until today. [silence]
61:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay, so well let's see because it based also on the serial number that this router is out of warranty, it belongs to the end of life, but let's see, okay? Let's see what we can do here. Are this, sir, this is your first time calling for coordinacy? Okay, how about this one? Since this is your first time, allow me first to gather some of your information to create your case on the system. So let's start right away with your phone number in case we get cut off. Then
61:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. 425-286-7120. Kynoa, K-A-I-N-O-A. Lee, L-E-E. It's going to be my last name and my first name, so kynoalee@hotmail.com.
62:00
Speaker 2
425 286 7120 first name okay so that's Kai t alpha India Nancy Oscar alpha the last name is okay and how about your email okay the knoa at hotmail.com okay and so Wi-Fi is working only that some of the website is not accessible okay do you have laptop or iPad that we can use to access the browser
62:00
Speaker 1
I do have my, my phone that I'm using too. I could use my phone if that's an issue. I do have the application on my phone. Uh it's Android. It's the Google Pixel. Okay. Um okay, it's opened. Yeah. It says that my Wi-Fi is offline though, but it's showing that it's connected. It is.
63:00
Speaker 2
Oh, a work laptop, it might be restricted. But we can try, if there's no other device. I think, let's see. Do you have the Linksys application in your phone? Okay, make sure, is it Android? Is it iPhone? Okay, okay. So, make sure it's connected to your Wi-Fi. And then open the Linksys application. Okay, you're able to log into the Linksys app. Make sure that the wi-fi is on on your phone. Did you log in using the router password?
63:00
Speaker 1
I believe so, because it just took me directly to my dashboard. local network settings? OK. [silence] Yeah. I had the same. Well, I did, but I scrolled up to the top right corner of my screen, and there's a dropdown that says, like, now I'm signed in should always stay signed in check the dropdown and I saw that was clear cookies and site data. And there was a pop up underneath that said, after allowing blubs this site will immediately redirect or refresh you may need to sign in here again, so that option didn't go away. [silence] Hmm. So you're saying, you had to you had to clear the cookies and then sign in again.
64:00
Speaker 2
Okay, good, let's see, hold on, just give me a minute. Can you go to, sir, click the menu bar that's the three lines right there, and then click on, okay, hold on, so once you click the three lines then click on network, not the network administration, but click on the advanced settings, and then local network settings, yes, and then you can see right there DNS,
64:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's set to auto. Okay. Yes. OK, uh, it's blank right now. Okay. OK. Yes. OK, it's done. All right, and then restart their wi-fi. OK, and it's restarted. I think that's the Google DNS, right? Okay. Yeah, it's Google web pass. It's like their other service besides fiber, apparently. Yeah, apparently it's like local to Washington Seattle. They don't have fiber. They have web pass. [silence]
65:00
Speaker 2
Thank you. So just let's wait till it's done. Yeah, default that's the default. And then, so again, your internet service provider is google web. Uh huh. Hmm, okay. For big WebPass. We already bit quarterback.
66:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It said successfully saved and the internet rebooted. Let me check a bit. It's a solid red. [silence] Um, for some, uh, when I called, [silence] when I got web pass, they said to just connect the router directly to the ethernet port. [silence] Yeah. Apparently that's just how Google's, uh, service works. So you don't need a modem.
67:00
Speaker 2
OK, let's just wait for a while. Because we just change the DNS right there. This router is connected to a modem. It works right away.
67:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it was completely fine yesterday and then today it just decided to do all this. Uh, webpass I've been using for uh, almost a year now, and then this router I've been probably using for around four or five years. Uh, hya, it's still red. But it's saying it was blue errm, um, a little bit earlier but then I was like trying out some stuff with it and then it turned red. Uh, but what's it called? Uh, it looks like it still has an internet connection though, strangely. Um, like my PC can still connect to like YouTube right now,
68:00
Speaker 2
But it was working fine before. It's all working clear on the Wi-Fi. And how long have you been using this Google web pass and this router? Okay. So the light indicator is on red on the router. It was blue earlier because, uh huh.
68:00
Speaker 1
No, they, they, they apparently don't use modems. This is connected directly to the ethernet port. Yeah, like to the apartment, there's like the ethernet port that's on the apartment where the internet service gets connected to. Basically, they just skip the modem and go directly to the router. Yeah, it's still red. And, and yeah, apparently, yeah, it looks like I can't connect to YouTube now, but I can still use Google. [silence]
69:00
Speaker 2
but this router is connected to a modem, you have a modem from Google Web Pass? To where is this connected? Yeah, of course the cable is connected on the internet port, internet port at the back of the router and the other end of the cable is connected to like an Ethernet port. Light still are red right now. power cycle the router. turn it off and on. Thank you, sir. Just there's a power switch at the bottom. Thank you, sir. Power it off, then you can power it back on right away. Thank you, sir. Okay, light indicator is blinking. So let's just wait there.
69:00
Speaker 1
My desktop is high wired, oh like to the ethernet port of my like uh my home? Let me check. Um, yeah, it's still blinking. Yeah, we, I did that earlier with my is ISP with Google. We connected my desktop straight to the uh ethernet port and uh they worked fine. [silence]
71:00
Speaker 2
And then, if in case, okay, you lost the connection, sir, we can like, isolate the right, the issue right away. Like hardwired, hardwired your laptop, straight to that ethernet port. Yes, you can remove the router, disconnect the router from that ethernet port, then wire your laptop. Instead, that is to know the, um, if the Wi-Fi is working or not. But right now, the light indicator, still blinking. Okay, let's just wait. Then. Mhm.
71:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it stopped blinking. I turned back to solid red. I can just put my computer, my desktop into it, because there's an Ethernet cord already on it. Give me one second.
72:00
Speaker 2
uh huh. uh huh. so can we check the Ethernet port sir? just to see because it will take us in circles, it will do troubleshooting the router, but the source of the internet is not working. so what device can we hard wire straight to that Ethernet port? okay. okay.
72:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I plugged my desktop into the ethernet port and yeah, I unplugged the router from the ethernet port and I just put my desktop in there. Looks like YouTube's opening up. [silence]
73:00
Speaker 2
It should be on the same port the same port where the router is connected, so you really need to remove the router. Thank you sir. Okay. Okay perfect. Okay and try to access a browser or a website.
73:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah, I can access, uh, some websites, yeah. Uh, with it. Let's see. Uh, yeah. Discord is open and working now. Yes, it looks like it is. Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, it was working for a second and then it decided not to. One second. Silence.
74:00
Speaker 2
OK. Is it working? Can you go online? Access the Slack, Discord, and then readit.com, the one that you cannot access via Wi-Fi. So, everything is working while you are to the Ethernet port. [silence] OK. You can go offline now.
74:00
Speaker 1

It should be the IP that you're, getting from the laptop. Oh, what, uh, what's the IP? Uh, yeah, what's the IP that you're getting on your laptop, sir?
75:00
Speaker 1
No. The IPV four address is 136.. 38.. to four.. 0. And then the DNS servers are the Google ones, the 8. 8. 8.. and then 8. 8.. 4.. 4.

it's connecting now, but this is, this is what's been happening too is I've been, when I was playing around with it, I would like, cycle the power and uh, get it to reconnect, and then it would work for a bit, and then it would go back to the same thing. Yeah right. [silence] It's working, but uh, it's uh, after a bit, it just, when I've done this before, it worked and then it just went back to not working.
79:00
