They wanted to, if you could log into our router and make sure that five G is customized like the two G network is. Okay. That's okay, forget. Yeah, that's okay. That's okay, forget it, okay. Okay, sure. Okay. Let's see, the serial number is three, two, X, 1 0 C 6 a nine zero three, seven two one. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
Sorry. Customize the five gigahertz. Well, as for remote login ma'am, we are actually not allowed to remote access the router, sir. [silence] But I can assist you with the, I can walk you through with the process, if you want. Okay. Um, but I actually need information first regarding the router so at least I know what router that you have. Can you have the serial number? Thank you so much, sending just a moment.
07:00
Speaker 1
Correct. Correct. Uh-huh. It's $90 a month. Oh, no idea. No idea. She had, when I called Spectrum, she had me like load stuff and everything, and she said the outgoing was good, but the ingoing was only at 50. [silence] I'm sorry? Yeah, she's just the incoming speed was 50 and it should be around 100. She said the outgoing was good. If it's like, right? [silence]
08:00
Speaker 2
Ingoing, is that on the Linksys router? They're referring. Ingoing. Okay. can you double check for me, Mama, if you can check the cable that is connected between your modem from spectrum and then the Linksys router? Can you check if you can see if there is any label like if it's cat 5 or cat 5e? If the cable between the modem and then the Linksys router, there's a cable, right? Okay. can you check on that cable if you can see any label that states if it is cat 5e or cat 5?
09:00
Speaker 1
I can't see that it says anything. Black. Okay. So we should just, we should just get a new one, maybe.
10:00
Speaker 2
What color is the cable? Black. Mm-hmm. Okay. Because for as for this one ma'am, I I actually want to set your expectation, uh regarding with the slow speed for the EA7200. So as for the EA7200, this is actually part of our first generation router, which means that this router is holding an old Wi-Fi technology, which is Wi-Fi 5. And then Yes, that would actually I would also would like to consider because right now, um we are using already a Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 technology. So, as for this one,
10:00
Speaker 1
Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah, that's kind of what she was saying too. Yeah. OK. Okay. So, should I get one? I, I was just looking on Amazon. Should I get the one that says MR20EC? And then it says dual band, mesh, Wi-Fi 6 router? Would that be a good one? OK. OK. And next.
11:00
Speaker 2
So the firmware of this is also dated, so that also affects the slow internet connection, even if we customize the 2.4, 2.4 or the 5 gigahertz. And we also stopped supporting Yeah. Because last August of 2025 Spectrum updated their system in order to cope up with the new Wi-Fi technology. So most of Wi-Fi 5 routers, they already tried to, uh, you know, cut it off. So, yeah, try to better to get a Wi-Fi. I would suggest, um, I would suggest you go with the MX series instead of the MR series.
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Do you have like an- I don't see an MX at all. Okay. Okay, let's Okay. So is MX 6,200? Okay. Okay, I'll try that then. Okay, thank you. You too. Bye. Okay. Which figure? She said, you know whatever a spectrum
12:00
Speaker 2
if if you're going to um if you will upgrade, man, for example, Wi-Fi 6 um Wi-Fi 6E, uh, we do have MX6200 that is the model number of our Wi-Fi 6E. Correct. You're welcome, man. You have a great day, okay, take care. Bye-bye. uh
