Speaker 1
Yeah. I wonder if you can please um um I just called basically Lynksey's uh mesh system and it's for some reason uh they all my nodes are showing red color. Red light. And the keep the the work keep dropping the internet quite randomly before. Although I have got internet in my home but now I can't get them to work at all. They just continue staying on uh red light. Yeah solid red light. No no that's the thing I mean I've tried to be honest I tried those.
00:00
Speaker 2
Welcome to, uh, LuxChild support. To assure quality service, your call may be monitored. Please remain on the line for assistance. Thank you for calling Linksys. My name is Van and I'm gonna help you today. Uh-huh. Currently now, you're on a solid red light. Was there any kind of power outage that you might be aware of?
00:00
Speaker 1
moving to the different router now I've brought them back onto my main router in my house which is they are connected, I connect them into a solid internet cable and the power is on and it's showing just red colour and I tried swapping the router sorry, the the not to the different one in case one faulty but they will not working, they're exactly the same I think some kind of setting need doing. [silence] That's right. [silence] Yeah, I'll just plug the the the back of my router, the one of the one of the nod and yeah and pop it on. And I'm showing the red colour and then it's got the reset button at the back of the router.
01:00
Speaker 2
[silence] So just to verify you were using this before and you did not use them for quite a while and you're now using them back? [silence] All right. And you just plug them in. Is that correct?
01:00
Speaker 1
you're back at the back of the not sorry I've pressed a few time now and then now it's flashing orange I don't know how how do I find out I I guess that this is the main one and uh now I don't know which order they were because I bought them old or done here now with me. Yeah yeah that that is the yeah the one I yeah that's it I the the other two not is the disconnect right and I haven't done anything and the one I've only got connected one with a directly into the with the wire so I just thought first of all I need to make this one online don't and then connected the other two.
02:00
Speaker 2
All right. I'll set your expectations that currently just to verify the one that's flashing orange, is that the main one, the main node? The main node is the one that's connected directly to your Internet or with a wired ethernet cable. That's the main node. All right. So,
02:00
Speaker 1
light? How do you normally do that? And while I was doing it, you remember, I told you just a minute ago, and I pressed quickly the reset the button on it and then it was a flashing orange but now is a solid green, which is, I think, it's working now. But I tried this method absolutely ages a lot of time before but it would not work. But somehow it seems like it it came online but uh just second, let me for the password.
03:00
Speaker 2
in this case, as you mentioned you were using them before and you decided to just, you know, step back now. They do not recognize the internet connection. So you need to consider doing a complete factory reset and set them again from scratch, treating it like it's your first time having the units at all. In other words, you need to factory reset them and start again from the beginning. Setting them up like it's your first time setting them up.
03:00
Speaker 1
How you normally set them? I don't know what I've done. I've the only literally all I've done like uh press that um press that huh Oh. [silence] Yeah. Now, I don't know what I've done. I think looks like it's uh is working now. Uh, well, like I said, it's all
04:00
Speaker 2
If you just press the reset button, you just rebooted your routers or your nodes. You did not reset them whatsoever. You just rebooted them. A factory reset: you hold the reset button for 20 seconds, and that's how you factory reset your nodes. You need to do it one by one. And to set them back again from the very beginning, you need the Linksysmart Wi-Fi app or the Linksys app as it will guide you from the beginning up until the very end. In setting up them from the beginning up until it's working again. All right?
04:00
Speaker 1
All, I did was just uh literally, um, rest up, which is, I've done absolutely lo-ne time. The only difference that I've done now, like I said, I bought them down into my, uh, into directly into my main router. But, uh, the, the, thing is right. This is how the, the, the whole connection in my house. Now, from my main router, and this is how it, how it's been all the time for years, then it was working. And from my main router, my uh the wire, solid wire, goes to my uh loft. And from the loft, I've got another uh like, uh, what you call it, the PoE switch, which is uh I've got branches off, number of wire, from there. And I connected, uh, there basically, into the PoE switch. This is how I connected. And normally, works. But this time, I don't know why, and it wasn't working. And now, I brought it down to the main router and it worked. Okay. Now it is. solid. Solid green now and it's got the internet. I can see. yeah. Yeah. It's very. uh, hey, handles. Yeah. Yeah. It's working now. Uh, but then again, to be honest, so, so to do the factory reset, how you normally do it? Did you say? So you, you put them on to power. So you power all your, um, the route, I guess. Yeah. And then you press and hold, you press and hold like 20 seconds while they, while they got the power. each node, 20 second and then that,
05:00
Speaker 2
All right. just to clarify, to whom am I speaking with right now? is it havender? [silence] all right. so just to clarify as well, is it now working? Yes, that's correct.
06:00
Speaker 1
That should reboot the whole lot yeah? Okay. Alright, I'll uh, I'll uh, I uh, what I can do now, but, um, yeah, uh, it seems like this is working now, so I've got to, I've got to suppose make the other two works before I take them away, um, and then, yeah. Alright then. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Bye bye. Bye bye.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Alright. Thank you so much for calling Linksys. Take care.
