02:00
Speaker 2
hello thank you for calling Ling's this is Carla how may I help you
02:00
Speaker 1
[ silence ] our linksus into bridge mode and now it's not working at all so I don't know how to fix that. I don't know where's that at? On the bottom of it? On the main one. Um hold on just a second. let me look. Uh the serial number Julian? Give it light. Can't see. It's just dark in here.
03:00
Speaker 2
Uh, okay. Uh, if that's the case, ma'am, there's a possibility that we need to reset the router. Okay? So, before we continue, ma'am, we ask first, what's the model number and serial number of that Linksys device? [silence] And the whole be you has at the bottom. Yes. Sir Everett, if you just say computer, thank you. [silence] Okay. You can take a picture of it, ma'am. That is easy for you to read.
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay. The serial number is 50D10. MZM 27 C0 9273. Yes. MX2000. Frontier.
04:00
Speaker 2
I don't know. and what's the model number? All right, and who is your internet service provider? All right, and how many nodes do you have, Ma'am?
04:00
Speaker 1
Three. This is my first time that I put it in. Oh, I'm sorry, what was your question? No, this is my first time. 727 520 3006. Julie Lambert. Uh-huh. Last name, Lambert. Uh-huh. Yep. It's Julie Jean, J-e-a-n. 966
05:00
Speaker 2
all right so let me just scroll our back up um have you called links this before ma'am this is your first time have you called links before okay can you have your phone number and how about your first name and last name it's Julius J U L I E and last name is L A M B E R T and how about your email address [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
email.com. Mm-hmm. Correct. Blue. Oh, one is red. The second one I see and the third one is red is, oh no, the third one is blue. No, I'm sorry. The other two, solid blue and then.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so that's your first name, Julie, and then Jan nine nine nine, nine six six at Gmail.com, correct? Okay. What is the color of the light of your main node, ma'am? So right now you're getting, Okay, how about the other, uh, two nodes? Uh, did you check? What are the lights on that? [silence] So the other two child nodes, uh, two child node is one is solid red, right? And one is solid blue. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
my second child node is flashing red blue yes yeah on my app on the Linksys that I because my internet's been running really slow so I didn't know if I don't know I didn't know what I was doing I was just trying to fix it but now it's not working at all
07:00
Speaker 2
[silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] so the main node, the one that's connected to spectrum frontier, that is blue, right? and then the other two nodes, like we call it a child node, since they're just a dependent Wi-Fi device. you mentioned, again, one blinking red and one is solid blue. um, just to check ma'am, you mentioned that you accidentally set the node, the parent node to bridge. [silence] mm-hmm.
07:00
Speaker 1
And when I go in the app to try to change it, it says I need to log in to Juul, Jean, so I don't know. Okay, hold on just a second, let me see. So, when I open the app, it says Juul Jean is online. Huh? No, I'm using an Android. Yes, Yes. It says, dash board, Juul Jean is online, the Internet has a check on it and then it says bridge mode and then it says nodes, wire.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So in your... Mm-hmm. Yes. Okay, they have their option to click on router password when you open the app. Yeah. You see a fingerprint? Then you have to... yeah. This is an... You're using an iPhone mem. You're using an iPhone. That's this router password app. Is it something Samsung? Okay, when you open the app, what are the options that you can see on the on the app right now? On the main page of the app.
08:00
Speaker 1
Hey, Fi Julie Jean, guest access, and then it says your router is on bridge mode. And then my nodes has a explanation mark next to it. Offline, child node number two, the one that's flashing red, says offline. Oh. Oh yeah. Okay, so it Settings, right? This is where I changed it. Okay. Okay. It says to make changes to these settings, connect to Julie Jean. So then, I don't understand why it's saying that.
09:00
Speaker 2
can you check on the three lines on the top on the upper left go to an uh you go to advanced settings and then internet settings what was your um but but your phone is already connected [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
It says available via linksys. I don't think it's connected. It says connection failed. But underneath it says Julie Jean available via linksys. So I don't know what Okay. It just says connecting, and then it doesn't say it says, Oh, now it says connecting again. Oh.
10:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, I'm connected to Julie. Jean. Yeah, can you click on that name ma'am? Can you click on that name and then connect? this is where on the page on advanced settings where you set up the uh... you change the uh... you change it to bridge mode right? yes ma'am holding
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. No, it says no, it doesn't. But when I go it's it says available via lynxis and connection failed. It doesn't say it doesn't say connected. No. Okay. Back to the app. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
"how about this error your wife I I don't show that you're connected to Jolie G right. okay I'm going to go back to the app. and then go go to the three lines again then go to Wi-Fi settings."
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Uh-huh. Make sure my remember what. Okay, but I already know what it is. So what do you, okay. Okay. Okay. [silence] [silence] [silence] For a million billion dollars. Okay.
13:00
Speaker 2
and when you go to that Wi-Fi settings you can see there your network name and the password Okay Um make sure you remember that one or you can take a screenshot I'll take a screenshot on the Wi-Fi settings. Okay So our next step here means we need to reset your um your uh node okay, all right, since um you're not able to connect because it's set to bridge mode. Okay so to reset the uh parent node
13:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So I'm gonna have to change everything again. I'm gonna have to change and act like brand new. Is that what you're saying? All because I changed it to bridge mode. It's just the one that gave me. Yeah, I don't think it's a gateway.
14:00
Speaker 2
mm, all the settings that you have set up on the parent router will be erased, okay? that includes your Wi-Fi settings, your internet settings, okay? All right, let me just... uh, yes, yes, ma'am. okay. Yes, ma'am. And there's no option to um access the um the user interface of the router because the app is no longer, um it's not working right now, it's not allowing you to change because you cannot connect to the Wi-Fi. And you are using a plain modem on, from Frontier, right? it's not a gateway. Okay. So what we can do is reset on your
14:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I just thought that it would go, like, I don't know where, why my internet is running so slow. I don't know if it's because it's an I'm not but I'm using the frontier router, right? If this is just extended to it, is that right? I like, I'm so confused. Like. Right, and I have two modems in here in my house, so I don't know what's going on. Okay, so let's just reset it and start over again at this point cuz I don't know I don't know what's going on.
15:00
Speaker 2
your parent node, ma'am, and then we can reconfigure it and then change it back to your original settings like the Wi-Fi name. Okay? Yes, ma'am. If you have like slow internet connection behind your Linksys, we recommend as well to test it from the modem, since the Linksys router only receive connection from the modem, okay? So like we are like... There you go.
15:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. The modem is just a small box that connects to the wire, right? From the outside of the house. Okay. But I think the second modem is just hooked from the same wire from the main one. It's just they said it they put it through a different part of the house so that I could hook it up to my computer. Um.
16:00
Speaker 2
I've got two modems. Are they both turned on right now? It depends ma'am, on how your ISP set up their connection. Okay, again, if we do reset, we need to like reconfigure the settings, since you need to like, I don't know, but there's no device connected right now via ethernet on your linksys, right? Um, yeah. Uh,
16:00
Speaker 1
There is a a wire connected from my modem. I I'm sorry, can you can you repeat that? Correct. There's two of them. Like, okay, so I have one room that has the modem. And I have the third child node connected to the from the mod-from the modem to the link. And then the main one is hooked in my son's room from the modem to the link. And then the one in the middle of the house is the one that's not connected.
17:00
Speaker 2
and being saying it's that's one from the modem, right?
17:00
Speaker 1
That's correct. Correct. Third child mode. And then I have one in the middle so that I could have, you know, like a net connected.
18:00
Speaker 2
So this node that we are checking right now than the 09273 serial number this node is connected to the model that's from frontier right and then you have also another model where it's also connected to the other node. And the one that's in the middle that's the one that has um blinking red okay, but I'm just to make sure that I get your correct um connection there again from the frontier model there's a line that connects to one of the node and the node in the middle that's where it's blinking.
18:00
Speaker 1
Yes. The main one. Yes. Yes. Yes. It has two hard wires, two lines. Coming from the same one though, from the same. The main. The main internet. It's coming from the same one. Well, there's the router, I think, is the main. [silence]
19:00
Speaker 2
of the links is not right? And then another, yes, the main one. And then there's another node, the one that has the blue light. That node is also connected to another modem? Or is it the same from Frontier? So it has two different type of connection. Oh, my God. What is that from May, what's like main internet, mom? Is that your modem?
19:00
Speaker 1
one is hooked to the router in the bedroom. The one with all the lights on it. That one is hooked to the one in the bedroom, the main Moe. Everything was working fine until I put it in child mode, our bridge mode. Can we just take that off? Because everything was working fine. We'll just redo it again because I don't have the patience for this. Correct. [silence]
20:00
Speaker 2
But we need to make sure, ma'am, in order for us to like change it, is we need to connect your phone or either your Wi-Fi or your computer direct via Wi-Fi and if you're able to connect, then that's the time that we can change it to bridge mode. But right now, your phone is unable to connect, right?
20:00
Speaker 1
Wi-Fi is not working. What do you mean there's no computer? I say you I do have a computer. So you want me to taketh theinternet cable out of the lingcus and put it in my computer? No, there's not a computer in there. It's hooked up to an X box. Yeah, I know, but that main node, there's
21:00
Speaker 2
And there's no computer also that we can wired to your Linksys main node. I they have a computer that we can wired. No ma'am. It should be like from the computer going to the Linksys to the main node. [silence] Okay, Or how about this one, ma'am, let's just go into and do a reset, okay, and then we're going to like, re-configure the settings, like we're going to change the name, as long as you know what's the name of your network, okay? Okay, so, at the bottom of your Linksys router, okay, there's a reset button, correct? Okay, press and hold that reset button for twenty seconds. And when you, well, when you go into your device settings, if you turn off the Wi-Fi on your device, go ahead and turn it back on, and then your device should re-scan the Wi-Fi networks in your area. And then, if you're still not able to see your network, then I would recommend make sure that your router is plugged in and turned on. And try again to see the Wi-Fi network and click through the setup instructions to reconfigure the Wi-Fi. [silence]
21:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It flashed red and now it's there's nothing yes. Now it's blue. Can you hear me? The light is flashing blue now. Hello? The flashing blue now.
23:00
Speaker 2
Okay, please release the reset. Yes. Did you release now the did you release now the reset button? Okay. Let's just wait for like a minute or two to stabilize the connection from the router. It's still booting up. Yes. Okay. Okay, let's just wait until it turns to. okay, um, purple. what' the color now?
23:00
Speaker 1
It's purple now. Okay, I'll do it now. Okay, I did it. Yeah. Flashing white now.
25:00
Speaker 2
okay, so send it solid purple this time we're going now to configure the settings on your router. So to configure the setting of the internet first is you need to press the reset button, ma'am, five times within five seconds, like press release, press release, five times, within five seconds, okay. Okay. light flashing again. Okay, let's wait for that.
25:00

Yes, still blinking. And now it stopped blinking. And now it's. Oh no, it's still blinking. I a recovery key yeah yeah I have the name and path can you put your flashlight on us it's so dark in here
26:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's wait for like a minute or two, just to make sure that it stays solid wo, then um while waiting for that one, ma'am. At the bottom of the router, try to check it first. How about the name, wi the name and password. Okay. So on your phone right now. [silence] [silence]

And Steve goes down to his knees and drives his head into the steam. at me. Now, he's never met that because he knew he was hurt.
39:00
Speaker 1
hold on, I got to go look at it. Yes, it's still blue. Oh, yeah, let me see. Yeah, I can.
40:00
Speaker 2
your length right now, the main node, what's the color?
40:00
Speaker 1
It's still blinking red. They're blue. The other two are solid blue. Yeah. Okay. That's what it's doing. I got it. Your eyes are so red. Okay. I unplugged it. Why?
41:00
Speaker 2
check if that turns to solid, how about the other one still blue, okay, no blinking red ma'am, can you turn that off, [silence] okay, wait for like 30 seconds to one minute, okay
41:00
Speaker 1
OK, and then play it black and. [silence] I'm going to play it back in.
42:00
Speaker 2
Yes. [silence] All right, plug it back in and let's...
42:00
Speaker 1
I mean, it's solid blue as soon as I closed it back in. Oh, okay, now it's blinking. Wow, it's blinking red again.Mhm. Yes. I'm sorry. Oh now now it's blue. Solid blue. Yeah.
43:00
Speaker 2
Madame the Wi-Fi settings that you set up earlier, is it exactly the same of your wireless before? Okay. Can we um like just also reset and reconfigure this um node, ma'am? Since it did not um it did not reconnect. Okay, solid blue. [silence]
44:00
Speaker 1
Oh, now I black back blinking, oh no actually now it's solid red. Okay. Okay, plug it in near the main one. Okay, it's solid blue right now.
45:00
Speaker 2
okay, let's just wait for, um, two to three minutes. Okay. Okay, let's just wait. Maybe it will like, still trying to connect. If still the same, ma'am, after a minute or two, if still the same, it won't reconnect, then we need to like, um, do a reset again on this node and connect it back to the network. Okay? Okay. But we need to, um, bring this node near to the main one. Um, not yet, ma'am, just after a minute or two. Okay, let's just wait, ma'am, that we can only, uh, we'll only do the reset. [silence]
45:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. What? Huh? [silence]
46:00
Speaker 2
reconfigure if the node will goes back to blinking red or solid red okay okay okay okay so can i um can i place you on hold for just two to three minutes i'm just going to check something here I'll be back thank you
46:00
Speaker 1
[silence] we a little bit it’s the winter like to do that Thank you. Thank you. [silence]
47:00
Speaker 2
Hello ma'am, thank you so much for patiently waiting. I'm so sorry for that hold. The lights still stay solid. Okay, that's great. So that means it's um, after we uh, reset, reconfigured the parent node. Your um, the child node, it's back to connected um, to the internet. Okay, it's connected to the same setting.
49:00
Speaker 1
OK. No that'll be it. Oh actually I did want to ask you a question. Um. If OK. So when the devices connect to which node is there any way for you to choose which node or does Linksys automatically put them to the strongest connection? OK. Yeah. It's just because my TV in the furthest room from the main node it it goes off of that Wi-Fi from the main node. And it doesn't make sense to me because I have two other nodes close to it.
50:00
Speaker 2
that we set up on the the parent node, okay? So, is there anything else, ma'am? Okay, so, in case it... Mhm. So, the node we'll decide which one which network or which node to connect, ma'am. There is no, like, option that we can direct a device which to connect.
50:00
Speaker 1
This is to it. And it doesn't it doesn't have very much Wi-Fi like the bars, Wi-Fi bars. It doesn't get any speed and I don't know why it doesn't connect to the child node2 instead, cuz it's closer. I don't know. But I didn't know if there was any way to. [silence] Wait a minute. This says your network router Linksys. Next. Okay. Remove old router system from your account. I don't need to do that. I don't have anything old, right? So go, I'll do it later. [silence] Okay. All right. Well, thank you for your help. I guess.
51:00
Speaker 2
um, mm-hmm, yes, ma'am. You can just continue. Mm-hmm, yes, ma'am.
51:00
Speaker 1
