I've can I can't I can Yes, ma'am. I'm having a problem, uh, with your mesh system. Uh, my provider, uh, provides 500 megabytes and I'm only getting like 47 with y'all. I'm trying to figure out what's bogging down your system. I mean, that's for that. Yes it is. Yes. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. When I got, I had sent them off to y'all, one was getting, it was overheating. When I sent him off to y'all and got him back, I hooked him up. Everything was fine. Uh, I was getting, uh, four, you know, 470 to 490, and then all of a sudden it started going back to doing the same thing it did before. I have. I've been on the phone with them. We just pulled and did a straight test coming right off of their router. I'm pulling 490 megabytes. When I do it through your system, 490 megabytes per second. I had it hardwired straight yet, exactly. Yes, ma'am.
04:00
Speaker 2
So I think uh there's really a need for us to do some tests here Sir Eric, okay? Um have you have you checked with your internet provider the the speed that you're getting? Like, um, you've been in the phone with them. $490. So you have your computer connected to their modem. Yes. Okay. How uh how much uh speed did you subscribe from them? Is it 500? Okay. Okay. Okay. So right
08:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] [silence] yeah it's it's connected now um [silence] I don't have it [clears throat] I don't have it hardwired to the length just [silence] Yeah, I can I can do it. Yes, yes. Yeah, I understand. [silence] It's gotta be something on my network that's bogging down the system. It just has to be. And there's gotta be a way y'all can run a test to see what exactly is margining down, if that makes any sense. Yeah. Well, what I did, I had, okay, um, Uh, I'm on there right now. Speedtest.org does it what he did again? Uz spprinted it before I ran one right off the the FAST your FAST internet fast.com and I got 490. Yes.
09:00
Speaker 2
Okay. And, yeah, once the computer is plugged in to the parent node try to run a speed test. Did you go to speedtest.net? Or are you using another website to run speed tests? Consistent. Which website speedtest.net. Which website did you go to when you were on speed test with your internet provider? Pass.com? [silence]
11:00
Speaker 1
This I cannot be reached. Hmm. Chick, no, it's red. It's red. It's not online. It wasn't a minute ago. The the main main cab five is going into the internet. That's all right.
12:00
Speaker 2
Yes, can you check first if the parent node light is solid white? Make sure it's online first. Did you plug in the modem to the internet port at the back of your Linksys main node? Okay. And right now, it's solid red or blinking, red? Okay. You did not do anything on the nodes, right? I mean, like, you did reset it to factory default or something?
12:00
Speaker 1
No, I didn't do any of that. You unplug the modem in the front? Well, if I am directly in this computer, I am. Do a power cycle. Go in the front, unplug it for a minute, plug it back in. That may be in the front. Mhm. What comes into my house, they have it. They have a spot that they plug it into. Um, it's in the front of my house and it comes in through the front and then they route it to the back part of the house where it hooks up to the mesh.
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay. All right, just unplug the power of the uh main node as well as the modem, okay? Cause it seems that the uh main node right now is having a, it's not getting a signal from the modem, so. Yeah, um sometimes we need to do a power cycle, ser for the uh router. There it is, yup. So, I unplugged the power of your modem as well as the Linksys for uh 1 minute. I'll let you know when to plug it back in. Is it unplugged now? Cause I'm, I'm letting you know, start the timer. [silence]

20:00
Speaker 2
one ninety two one sixty eight one one right okay all right sir. So, now, what's your do you see what link speed? Can we right-click on, sorry, can we right-click on the Ethernet again and go to status and check the link speed. Yeah, right-click on Ethernet. Go back to Ethernet right-click it and go to status. Under general, do you see there link speed? Link speed.
21:00
Speaker 1
kilob bytes per second. done. 100 point 100 .exe.
22:00
Speaker 2
This is the this link speed refers to the uh to the adapter or to the network card of your laptop. Okay. And that that uh that actually determines how fast your device. So, um, I was just just wondering why they said that uh the the the see that you're getting from the computer to the modem is [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] Mbps. Well, the link speed is only [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] MbPS. Okay. All right. Let's just minimize that or you can actually close that screen. and then go to speedtext.net. [silence]
23:00
Speaker 1
[silence] my firewall's blocking, I think. Yeah, but it blocked it. Uh, yeah. [silence] Hold on real quick. Okay, here it comes. Yeah, yeah, I hooked it up. I hooked the, um, I'm with Fiver, US fiber. I hooked directly to this laptop and uh, I was getting 4470 480. I think I used one of yours off your app. I just went off for your one of the ones off your app. mean pull it back up again or it's there's a speed test dot net I think it was um Yeah, I went to, um, uh, fast.com and it pulled up 490 megabytes per second. Now, when I do it through your mesh, it's pulling up 51 megabytes per second. Yes. And I have a and I took a picture of it, um, Rose, can I get a drink, I took a picture of it when I was on the phone with LUS and I'm pulling 490 megabytes, that's what I'm paying for. But when I run it through your mesh, it pulls up on the same computer under the same fast.com as 51 megabytes per second.
24:00
Speaker 2
Fastnet or fast.com okay. So did you did go to fast.com and the So right now.
27:00
Speaker 1
Correct. Very low. That's fine. An H T H T P P. Forward slash forward slash.
28:00
Speaker 2
you're getting [silence] 51 Mbps. [silence] All right, on the website sir, [silence] can we type this address? [silence] We just need to access the [silence] the parent node [silence] Okay [silence] Set up. [silence] Okay [silence] Uhh [silence] just go to my router [silence] That will be [silence] HTTP [silence] colon [silence] slash [silence] slash. [silence] myrouter.local.
