Speaker 1
We're traveling away from the house, the link, uh my linksys mesh um lost connectivity. I um got back home and I'm trying to re-establish connectivity and I'm not able to do that. And so I've gone through all of the troubleshooting um steps and uh and I just sent, I just sent the logs in uh a little while ago. Uh it is a W H W O 3. What is the one I'm sorry? Oh, it's red.
01:00
Speaker 2
I see. What's the model of your linx? device? Thank you so much. And what's the light on the lynx unit? the light of the router. Solid red. Thank you so much. [silence] Can I ask to whom am I currently speaking with? Thank you so much. Can you provide me the serial number of the linksys device? So we can double check its current status as well. Yeah. 2 or J like Jacob, 1 0 C like Charlie, 6 B like boy, 7 5 6 7 4. Is that correct? Is it seven? I'm sorry, 6 5 7 4. Thank you so much.
01:00
Speaker 1
All right thank you. we have three. I'm sorry. So I, um, first reset my uh ISP uh router, modems rather, and then uh that didn't fix the problem and then I powered off the uh the mesh node that was that was hard wired with uh CAT 6 or whatever cable, um, to the modem and that didn't work and then I did both of them again and that didn't not none of it worked.
03:00
Speaker 2
Let me quickly double check everything on my end. How many links this WHW does you have? In what way did you perform the factory reset as well? In what way did you perform the factory reset? All right.
03:00
Speaker 1
Right. Okay. I have the I have the app okay. Correct. Yes.
04:00
Speaker 2
So in this case, you will need to consider doing a complete factory reset since what you have performed in terms of what you've done so far is just a simple reboot on your Linksys mesh. To perform a complete factory reset, you will need to hold the reset button for 20 seconds on all of your Linksys nodes. You can do it one at a time. And in order for you to reconfigure it from the scratch, you will at least need to have the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi app or the Linksys app to guide you all the way through from the beginning up until the end. Before any further troubleshooting may start, before any further troubleshooting may start, I do have to set expectations that your current Linksys mesh, which is the WHW03s, are no longer in warranty. They are no longer eligible for free troubleshooting on our end. All troubleshooting steps is completely free and available on support.linksys.com. However, for further troubleshooting for an auto warranty product,
04:00
Speaker 1
yeah, I, I, I, I do, I do wish to proceed. okay, so I've, uh, I've reset the wire node for 20 seconds. let me go to the other two nodes and do that as well. that's fine. that's fine. silence okay.
05:00
Speaker 2
[silence] it entails a $15 cost if you still wish to proceed. [silence] If you're going to proceed with the further trouble by shooting through paid support for $15, you are agreeing to a one-time nonrefundable technical support session lasting up to an hour. [silence] If we also do determined that the product seems to be defective, no refund or replacement will be issued for it. [silence] And lastly, it still considered a 50-50% chance that it may or may not work. [silence] For our personal advice as well, for our personal advice as well, it's better to at least take the free troubleshooting that we can also offer you. [silence] It can either be on email or some links that we can provide before [silence] considering the $15 as well. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay, that's fine. Let's just go forward with the $15. I've been messing with it for about a half an hour and have been unsuccessful. So, I've, I've done the, I've reset one of the nodes for 20 seconds. I'm resetting a second node now for 20 seconds. Yes, Patton, P-A-T-T-O-N. Evanepatton@comcast.net. Yes. Okay, yeah, uh, uh, I will do that as soon as I, I just had to walk upstairs to, [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
All right, sir. Evan, can you spell out the last name once more? Thank you so much. And what's the email address? Is your Internet provider Comcast? Whenever you're ready, you can provide me your credit information. You don't have to worry about it. Nothing on your card is going to be recorded or documented.
06:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Uh oh, so I should just unplug them and that will factory reset them too, I guess. Because uh huh. [silence] Uh huh. Well, I'll have to unplug them. They're plugged in all around the house. [silence] Oh, I see. Okay, so they're all factory reset. Now. Let me go get you my credit card. [silence] Um, [silence] [silence] [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
You need to gather all your nodes in one same room after you're done factory resetting them.
07:00
Speaker 1
okay it is uh an American Express number three seven one three zero A2 three eight eight zero three zero zero nine expiration oh [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] okay. Yeah. That's fine. Um, okay. So, um, so,
08:00
Speaker 2
What about the security code? [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] Lastly, the billing zip code. All right. Once again, you're just going to be charged $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS], nothing more, nothing less. If you need to reconfirm, go ahead and check your email as well. All right, in the meantime, gather your notes in one room, but don't turn on the other two. Just focus on the main one.
08:00
Speaker 1
I'm, just trying to figure out I don't have enough outlets uh in the main room or have to get a power strip. That's uh, cuz they'll I'll need to plug them in right to power. Yeah, okay. Uh, okay. Okay. That should. Yeah. um Okay, I've got a power strip. I've got one of the notes. I'm going to get this third. [silence] okay. Okay. Great. Uh, we'll do that. Okay. Hang on. Just hang on. Hang on.

09:00
Speaker 2
do not turn on your child nodes yet. let's just go ahead and focus on the parent first. on the parent node, you're now gonna perform what we call the phi press method. on the reset button, you're going to press release. wait a second. to clarify, you just turned on the parent node. Wait for it to change colors. Put the light in the main one.
11:00
Speaker 1

18:00
Speaker 2
what's the light in the main 1 alrightwait for 1 more minute a solid green
18:00
Speaker 1
OK. so it'll so good. Well, nope, it just went red. YEP. Um, first all good. Well, I guess I mean I, I have Wi-Fi on the Comcast modem, so I know it has connectivity to the internet. I guess it could be possible that there's something wrong with the uh, um, modem itself.
19:00
Speaker 2
solid red [silence] Do you have a laptop or a computer that you can wire directly to the modem? Because, as of the moment, solid red or a flashing red, as long as it's red, indicates it's not detecting or communicating with the internet directly to Comcast, so in order for us to make sure that your Comcast modem is working, we need at least either a computer or a laptop we can wire direct make sure the light sorry.
19:00
Speaker 1
With the wired connection? I do not... I'm trying to think. I've got a desktop. I'm sorry. Yeah, okay. Well, I just don't know. I don't have a laptop. I have a MacBook that does not have a, um, a jack on it. I've got a desktop PC, but it's not close enough to run the cat5 to the... Well, actually, I guess, could I... Can I run the...? I can unplug the cat5 from the mother... the, uh, parent?
20:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hm. If you do not have a device that you can wire as of the moment, you don't have to worry about the service that you just paid. If you need to call us back, you can always call us back as well. For the entire day troubleshooting is completely free since you've already paid for it.
20:00
