03:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let me just check on the exact device service first, okay? Thank you, sir. Okay, so based on what I have here sir, you are using an EA 7300 or 7300.

06:00
Speaker 2
Hello. Yes, hello sir. Who's your internet provider, sir? I'm sorry, who's your internet provider, sir? Sorry, I was not able to hear that. Xfinity, okay, so you have internet connection from Xfinity, but your links router is not working. Sure, right? [silence]

07:00
Speaker 2
The guess. Okay. Okay. Yes, it seems that the concern is your sorry. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I see. Okay. Okay. Let me just check a few things here before we proceed with that. Uh, before we proceed with the troubleshooting or with the device checking. Um, may I have your phone number in case we get disconnected? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I'm gonna think likewise. How about your first and last name?
07:00
Speaker 1
Sure. So, I'm going to say my email address really loud. [silence] r-zilinsky@gmail.com [silence] Yes, sure. It's rzilinsky@gmail.com
08:00
Speaker 2
Can you spell your last name, sir, please? Okay, how about your E-mail or E-mail address? Hello, sir. Yes. Can you? Sorry for the inconvenience here. But can you repeat the E-mail address a bit slower, sir? M-hmm.
08:00
Speaker 1
H F K Y at gmail.com correct okay
09:00
Speaker 2
Okay, got it here, thank you. It's the initials of your first name and your last name at gmail.com. Okay, so you are using an E8300, sir? And I believe, sir, the reason why this is not working properly anymore, sure, you do have internet connection but there are some features that are no longer working is because this router, sir, is using an old firmware or an outdated firmware version, sir. Actually, sure, we can still do some troubleshooting for this but it's not a guarantee that it will work the same as before but it might if you might be able to use the guest network again. If you have a moment, please follow me through a few troubleshooting steps. If this still doesn't work, unfortunately, sir, the router would have to be replaced, sure. [silence] Another alternative is to purchase a replacement model in refurbished parts, you'll get 10% off. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, what was the second option? OK.
10:00
Speaker 2
But sir, unfortunately your device is no longer in warranty. For out of warranty device sir, we can no longer provide free assistance but I can offer you two options for this. The first options here is we do have a paid service that is $15 sir for an hour of troubleshooting. But then if in the case the device will be defective, we cannot replace your router. Second option is for free, since you still have internet connection sir, it's just a guest network that is not working. I can send you the full guide sir in how you can reconfigure your Linksys router sir. Second options sir, is I can send you the full step-by-step guide for the troubleshooting that you can do on your end for this router to to work.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. And how much was it for the paid uh, support? $15. 1.5 for an hour for 60 minutes of troubleshooting. Okay. Okay. Um, is the troubleshooting guide going to guarantee to fix my issue or will a will either method guarantee to fix my issue? Okay. If I do the paid, okay. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
For the, yes, sir. For the paid servicer, that will be $15 for an hour of troubleshooting. Yes. Yes, sir. [silence] Not a guarantee, sure. Possibly an 80% chance. Actually, sir, that guide, sir, will be the same troubleshooting that we that you will do if you avail, a paid service. The difference is that, yes, yes, sir, the difference is that we will be walking you through step by step over the phone while you will be
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Why don't you just send the troubleshooting guide to me? I've already done the troubleshooting on my own. Are you able to tell me if, I have the most recent firmware, I've updated that or confirmed that it's up to date. Do you are you able to tell me if that feature was disabled for some reason because of a security flaw that maybe the firmware updated it and disabled it, or should that feature technically still work? [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] [silence] [silence] actually sure. [silence] there's no reported cases here for this uh for the last version here that it blocks some features. so possibly uh the reason for this one here is either your unit is already defective or you just need to reconfigure that
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. All right, well, why don't you go ahead and send me via email the troubleshooting guide and I'll just go through that. And if I have any further issues, maybe I'll call back and get paid service as well. Okay. You had said, if I understood you correctly, that you don't see any firmware updates that would have disabled the guest network, correct? So theoretically, it should work.
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Yes, yes sir. Yes sir. You can call us back if in the case the troubleshooting will not fix your concern. Okay, sir. I'll send it to you right after this call, sir. And just call us back and I'll provide your ticket number in case you wanted to call us back for the page service. Okay. For this? Yes sir, it should work. For this unit your your ea 7 300 there is [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Maybe my internet service provider did something that's blocking it. Yeah. Okay. Okay, yeah. If you can give me the ticket, I will. And what is the ticket number? Oh, okay, perfect. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
it's so, uh, cases. That there are some features that are blocked after firmware updates. Um, possibly an upgrade, sir. Actually, sir, that should not be blocked, but there are some cases that your router will not be able to, uh, get that feature, uh, from the provider uh if the router is, uh, using an older version of firmware. Mhm. Anyways, try this troubleshooting. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, uh, I will send it, uh, together with the guides, sir. Hmm. Okay, thank you so much for your time, sir. I do really apologize for the inconvenience and just
14:00
Speaker 1
Okay, thank you very much. You too. All right. Bye-bye.
15:00
