Thank you for calling Linksys this is EPP, how can I help you? I'm good, sir, how about you?
25:00
Speaker 1
Um, I've got, I have a major problem here at my house and, and I, um, um, I think I got the, the modem issue fixed, because I can connect my streaming box directly to the modem and it works, but I have no Wi-Fi in the house because I, I can't get the Linksys connected back up. I've got a, I've got the Linksys, um, Velop mesh system here. Yes, correct. Uh, I can hear you fine. It's just I have lousy connection here without internet. Because I have to have, I use, I use internet call.
26:00
Speaker 2
Okay. All right. So, yes, you have an MX4200 mesh router, right? Okay. So, you're cutting out. Can you hear me okay? All right. Okay. Oh, you're using Wi-Fi calling.
26:00
Speaker 1
I normally do, but now I'm not, cause I don't have no Wi-Fi. Yes, that's correct. That's correct. And and I know the the modem's working great now, cause like I said, I disconnected it from the Linksys router and went directly into my TV box and I can watch TV and everything, but I Go ahead. No, and so I I tried connecting it back the way it was to the router and all I'm getting on.
27:00
Speaker 2
Okay, all right. Yes, not a problem. So, yeah, I just pulled up your record here. This is James Dale and email address is jimstickle75@gmail.com, right? Okay. And you have, uh, spectrum as your internet provider? Do you have? Um, yeah, go ahead. Sorry.
27:00
Speaker 1
Pop of the links of shrouter is a purple. Solid purple, correct? Yes, I do. Yes. Um, I have a laptop, but don't I need an internet?
28:00
Speaker 2
Okay, it seems that the router was reset to factory default, because right now the light is purple. Okay, all right. Okay, so let me verify your connection. Do you have the modem or the spectrum box connected to the internet port of this main node? Okay, so that's connected to the yellow port. All right. Okay. So can we. Do you have any computer available? Okay. So you have a laptop. Yes. Can we power on your laptop? We'll be needing your laptop to set up your.
28:00
Speaker 1
Okay wait the minute. Okay I am right here could you laptop yes I have my I're open. Uh, yeah, I do right. I do right now. I've got one here and one out in the Carolina room. Correct.
29:00
Speaker 2
parent node. Okay, sure. Thank you. Okay. All right, so you power on the. All right, so you have the the laptop now. So what we gonna do. Oh, by the way, you have two nodes in total, right? Right.
29:00
Speaker 1
Sure. Sure. Okay. Yep. I thought I had two others. Yeah. Yes I do. Hold on a second. I got one and it was Rick. Well that's what I'm doing. Just bear with me a second. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Can we bring the other node close to the parent node or close to that main node, sir? Because since the parent node is reset to factory default, so obviously the child node is disconnected. So we need to connect that back. Okay. So let's just move. So you have three in total. Yes. Can we bring them over? Can we uh move it close to the core five. Okay. All right.
30:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I have them both right here with me. I have I've got, I've got the adult and I've got the two child.
32:00
Speaker 2
Okay. All right, so please pour on the child mode, by the way, since you reset the parent mode, we also need to do the same on the child mode. So kindly press the reset button on the child mode for 25 second. Okay. Um, I'm sorry. What was it again? Yes. Okay, if that is solid red, that means
32:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay. Okay. So my first child node, I held it for 25 seconds and it's blinking blue now. Okay.
33:00
Speaker 2
The parent node is not getting a connection from the modem, so it's not recognizing your modem. You may try powering off the modem and turn off the parent node. Wait for 30 seconds. Turn on the modem first. You need to make sure that all the lights are stabilized on the modem before you turn on the parent node. So if it's still solid red, then that's the time that uh you need to contact us. Because um there's uh some configuration that needs to be done on the uh on the router on the parent node. Yes, okay, we're just gonna wait for that. Just do the same thing on the second child node.
33:00
Speaker 1
OK. So, that one's blinking blue. The other one's purple now. The last one, the last child that I just did. The primary, the primary note is purple. Yeah, and it's blinking blue, so I'm sure it's gonna go to purple.
34:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so, which one's blue? Okay, is b... Okay, we'll just wait for all the lead indicators, um, turn it should turn purple. okay? Solid purple. Yes, while waiting for the, for the lights, can we go to the computer? And by the way, can you check, the parent node? Yes, underneath the parent node. What's the the network name? Or can you please take a picture first of the settings? There's actually a sticker underneath. Yeah, just take a picture of the network settings, underneath the parent node.
