And while my system is checking the hardware warranty of your LynxSys node, or Linksys router, you've mentioned that you have tried some steps, you tried already like unplug the router and plug it back into the power first, right? Did you also try pressing the reset button at the back of the router? How long did you press the reset?

I see. Understand. Today it shows that your router showing a hardware defect because it's just remains solid blue and it's Wi-Fi, it's not broadcasting that here's the thing going back to the warranty of our Linksys route upon double checking it here, it's hardware warranty and support ended last January 29, 2024. If you wish us to further troubleshoot the Linksys router because we still have other work around so we could try and fix it like connecting a computer to it or perform some recovery reset procedure if you wish us to troubleshoot that kind of thing for our out of warranty devices, we do have a paid supports service via the phone that's amounting to $15. That's a troubleshooting session of about one hour. If you could allow us that paid support service device, we have to first ask your permission before going to that service. Okay?

It's, it's 1515. Yeah, I'm willing to pay for that.

11:00
Speaker 2
All right so check your computer. We are going to try access the settings of your router and try resetting it from there. Your computer is it? Am I by the way your computer is it running in Windows or Mac OS? It's Windows and that Windows computer does it have an ethernet port? Like a port on it's on the side panel? We're going to connect it wired to the router.
11:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Am I supposed to disconnect any wires from the from the router? Yes. Yes.
12:00
Speaker 2
Okay, there is, uh, at the back of the links router, the internet port, there is an ethernet cable, right? Can we use that cable, connect it to your computer, the uh the first end, and the other end of the cable, connect to one of the blue ports at the back of the links router?
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I connected my laptop to the router. Okay. Command prompt?
13:00
Speaker 2
All right. So we're going to open Command Prompt on your Windows computer first. You can search CMD on the search bar of your Windows screen on the bottom. CMD Charlie Mary Delta. CMD and open it. Yes. All right. And at the Command Prompt, we're going to type this command. So that will be IP config, I-P config C-O-N-F I-P.
13:00
Speaker 1
Mm-hmm. All. I need to where's the okay? So slash. Okay.
14:00
Speaker 2
IP config space forward slash, and then all forward slash and the word all, once then after this flash, all the word all, and then hit enter and we'll check the result.
14:00
Speaker 1
okay [ silence ] okay [ silence ] I see the [ silence ] it says [ silence ] and what am I looking for again [ silence ] it says internet it says ethernet adapter and it says media state it says media disconnected and then it says connection specific then underneath it says description it says description and then on the side of it says real tech PCI E [ silence ]
15:00
Speaker 2
and from the results we'll check for the IPv4 default gateway for the ethernet connection let's look for I what's the status of um what's the status of the IPv4 default gateway of the ethernet connection is there any numbers or is there a word for the status or I mean like what's the Okay
15:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so it actually... Okay, so there's a physical address, but there's no IPv4 right, it means it's unable to detect the IP address from the router. Let me check Mayu, what port number that cable's connected into the Linksys router, what port number at the back. And is there any lights on that port number one or not? Okay, so we're now going to proceed with the recovery procedure. So for the recovery is we're going to unplug the router for two seconds and then plug it back in, wait for five seconds and we will do that steps five times.
16:00
Speaker 1
I'm ready. Okay, I'm ready. Okay, I am plugged in. Okay, I plugged it back in. I am plugged in. I plugged it back in.
17:00
Speaker 2
No worries. I'm going to I'll be the one to provide you the step. Let me know just once done. Okay. For the recovery sets that we can have it um the step together. Just let me know when you're ready to unplug the router from the power source. All right. So unplug it from the power source. Okay. Let me know once it unplug, I'll do the counting. All right, that's 1001, 1002. Plug it back into the power source. 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005. Unplug it from the power source. 1001, 1002. Plug it back into the power source. 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1000.
17:00
Speaker 1
I unplugged it, I plugged it back in, I unplugged it, I plugged it back in, I unplugged it. [silence]
18:00
Speaker 1
Yes, it is still solid blue. Okay.
19:00
Speaker 2
I told go blinking or we'll observe its light if it's blinking blue after we plug it back in. Right now is it solid blue still? Let's give it one to two minutes more to see if there are any changes on the light sign
19:00
Speaker 1
no it's still, solid blue
20:00
Speaker 2
All right. But the router the solid blue like let's go back to your computer with a command prompt. Let's try it again type the IP config space all let's check again the status of the router. All right.
20:00
Speaker 1
[silence] ID is the same as it said before. [silence] No.
21:00
Speaker 2
I see. And can we, let's open Wi-Fi on this computer. Can we check again if we are seeing a Wi-Fi named Saatva-LinkcSys00232? Check on the available network. There is none.
21:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK. OK. OK. Mmm-hmm. You OK? Wait, can you repeat it? Sorry. Can you repeat it? It's that? OK. OK.
22:00
Speaker 2
Let's let me try access this one. On your computer, let's open web browser. So let's check if we can access it. At the address bar type https://192.168.1.1/ again. Okay. Uh-huh 192.168.1.1/.
22:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So it's cis info. Google. Okay. Let me see. And then the number.
23:00
Speaker 2
systinfo dot cgi Charlie Gulf India http two colon forward slash 192.168.1.1 forward slash systinfo dot cgi and search for it. Let me know if it routes you to a page. Yes, search for it and Yes, Enter and let me know if it routes you to a page asking for your
23:00
Speaker 1
No, it's, it took me to press space to like play. It says check the network cable modem and router.
24:00
Speaker 2
in this case, oh, Kelly. After the recovery procedure, checking the Ethernet connection, if it's providing IP address. And it's still showing no Wi-Fi, even with the recovery procedure. So I can finally say that your outer is actually defective. So the defective one, it's a hardware issue. It doesn't reset. Even if you press the reset, it remained solid blue. The normal reset should have a blinking red light, then lit will go off, but still remains solid blue and it no longer broadcast Wi-Fi signal. So I'm so sorry, your router is defective. So those are the necessary steps that should be able to recover it, but it doesn't.
24:00
Speaker 1
Okay. [silence]
25:00
Speaker 2
it's, it's no longer working. And I believe you may need to upgrade your router. You can check with, uh, the latest router right now we have Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7. If you wish to upgrade this current router that you have that it is a Wi-Fi 5. I can recommend a model number if you wanted to check it. Um you can check the model number, um L N 14, I'm sorry, L N 1600. That's a uh already a um uh Wi-Fi 7 router.
25:00
Speaker 1
And how much is that? [silence] Oh, okay. And if I were to get, if I were to get that, am I able to call and get help setting it up?
26:00
Speaker 2
Yes, it is a wireless router that's a Wi-Fi signal. It can cover up to 2,700 square feet of Wi-Fi range. Um, right now we do not have visibility with its pricing since Lingsis store is not available yet. But you can check via um online store like Amazon or through your local store for the pricing. Yes. It has a one-year warranty and support. If you wanted to have longer validity for those warranty and support, you can check the uh model number MX6200 Netgear Nighthawk.
26:00
Speaker 2
that's a Wi-Fi 6E already. It says a three-year warranty and support. all right. Okay. And is there anything else that I can assist you with? Linksys? you're most welcome. This is once again Raquel. Thank you for calling CIS. Have a wonderful day. Take care.
