Yes, I have a Linksys Mesh Network with the MX4200 and I'm having issues. You probably see a whole bunch of text support calls. I've I called the other day and it was suggested that I get a a one new router. I think I got the 6200
02:00
Speaker 2
Thank you for calling Linksys. This is Abby, how can I help you? Yes, sir. [silence]
02:00
Speaker 1
Okay, but I'm looking on the outside of the box. And then I was told it's called Develop Pro 6E. I was told that this now, this new router, should become the parent node in the mesh network with the 4200s. So, first of all, is that correct? And secondly, can you help me set this whole thing up? Okay, what I'm setting up is there's an existing system, and I'm setting up a new, a more advanced node, I guess the 6E, as the parent. Which means that I have to reestablish everything. And at the end of the day, I need to reestablish everything.
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so you're trying to right now you're you're setting up the a whole new system and the is the replacement unit, right?
03:00
Speaker 1
and I need for my system to be able to be remotely restarted and booted, which I wasn't able to do with my 4200s. So uh can you help me get this system set up properly. And the serial number, M8W10E24E04157
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so you will be, uh, let me just uh, verify that third half. So, um, you'll be setting up, you'll be setting up a new parent node, okay? And, and what is the model number of that uh, device there? MX 6200 and what is the serial number? [KEEP_UNCERTAIN] and I just pulled up your record. This is Jeff at DC. Did I pronounce that, right? Okay. And your email address is or card hillbnb at gmail.com. So you still have the same? Yes. And you still have, uh, optim as your internet provider, right? Okay. So, how many nodes do you have in total, including the this new, uh, node, the MX [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS]?
04:00
Speaker 1
A 6200 and there's one, to three 4200s and one older. Even older than that. And put them in one place, okay? Right now, I don't. Can I use the power cable from my 4200? Or do I need to replace that? Yes, it does. It's just that everything is [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
okay all right so yes sir since uh yeah you'll be setting up um a new system here can we gather all your nodes in one place yes put them in one place and uh let me know if you have the MX 6 200 connected to your modem well when you when you had this uh M 6 200 it doesn't have a power cable that came with it well [silence] you would need to buy a power cable separate. okay.
06:00
Speaker 1
You know, it I've got everything tied together underneath, uh because it's, it's set up nicely. So the wires are already through, you know, wire hiding stuff, but if I can't use that power, can I use Mhm. Uh, um, okay, this is 12 volt 2.5. Let me see what the current one is.
07:00
Speaker 2
Well, as long as they have the same, okay, you can actually use the same power adapter as long as they have the same output voltage. For MX6200 it should be 12 volts 2.5 amp.
07:00
Speaker 1
You know, I'm, just going to, I'm, just going to place it. okay okay I I'm plugging in should I plug anything in yet should I plug in the parent node or anything yet okay okay okay okay okay
08:00
Speaker 2
uh come again sir yeah you may plug in the parent node now and uh connect the uh modem the optimum to this MX 6200 yes just make sure it's connected to the internet port
09:00
Speaker 1
Oh, this is weird. This only has one other connector on the 6,200. Wow, that's really crap. Wow. Okay. Okay, this was the bad node. [silence] Now. [silence] Now. Now, do all the nodes have to be plugged in or I'm just gathering the nodes? Let's see. Okay. Okay. Well, the par parent node is uh plugged in and the the light on the top is blue. Yes, it is.
10:00
Speaker 2
If possible, sir, can we plug them in, so as, we can, uh, configure them all together, we can actually just set up first the parent node, the MX 6200, then we'll be setting up the child nodes later, is it solid blue now? Okay.

Speaker 1
I do. I brought it up with me so I can put an ethernet cable onto it and plug into this thing. This is, or already I have no confidence in the system because the reboot didn't do anything. Didn't change the light, that is or anything. Which, which doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling already.
15:00

Okay, uh, can we click on the Apple uh, icon then go to system settings and check under the internet network settings? And let's see what happens after we connect to the network. Okay, can you see any changes on the LED indicator? It is not blinking yet. Okay, let's check on the computer. Mac? Okay, can you go to the system settings? Can you see under network settings? How would you describe those settings on? Okay, it seems like there is no network connection detected. Uh, let's try connecting to another network. Um, let's try um, forget this network and search for other available network okay.
