Hi there, I'm trying to set up my mesh system. It's been working totally fine, I've set it up previously but then I've been having problems with one of the nodes flashing red. So I've deleted the two child nodes and I'm trying to sync them back up but once I get the purple steady light I go through the app go through the process and then it just ends up flashing red. It was, it did say, it did say unable to connect but I don't know what, if there was a specific code
00:00

How may I assist you today? How may I assist you today? Mhm. Okay. I see. So, what is the exact make and model of your device? And is there any error message when you tried to add it using Linksys app?
00:00
Speaker 1
child no the serial number is brave brave b 4 bravo 2 0 M for mother 3 alpha alpha zero 8 193. Yeah.
01:00
Speaker 2
All right. Thank you for all the information and I'm sorry to know about the childhood. But no worries. We'll try other ways to add it. I will walk you through with the process. And to properly address you with that, may I have the serial number of the node that you were trying to add? Hmm. Hmm. Okay. Let me check the serial number for a moment. And to verify is this your first time calling Linksys? Let me also create a record here. May I have your name? Your first and last name? Can you spell that for me? Uh-huh. All right, thank you. And may I have also your phone number, in case we get disconnected, I'll be able to call you back? All right, thank you. And may I have also your email address? Uh-huh. Can understand. Um this is only for record purposes as well. Any um active email or any email that you can provide.
01:00
Speaker 1
So I try and keep them to a minimum. Yeah. Oh, sorry, that was the bottom of the child node. The one I gave, the model number. or like address Giga clear. It doesn't actually say it's linked to this giga clear.
03:00
Speaker 2
okay understand, no worries and just to verify the model number showing at the bottom of the child node may have it as well. yes the child node model number. yes. it usually small text starts with with letters and followed by numbers. [silence] okay Now I'll show you how it looks like on an adult earphone. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Oh yeah. Yeah, Whiskey Hotel, Whiskey Echo Zero, Whiskey Zero, Whiskey. Yeah, the main node and two satellite nodes. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's right. They're called tubes and they use city fiber.
04:00
Speaker 2
the top of the formal number details, can we go there? Check if it shows the model number. Okay. All right, thank you. And to verify you have a total of three nodes, right? And two child nodes currently are showing blinking red light. Is that correct? All right. And just to make sure, main node is showing solid blue online connected with Internet, right? All right, thank you. And make note who is your Internet service provider. All right. Thank you. And since you've tried already adding it using the link system, we will try to restart first your main parent node restart is turning it off.
04:00
Speaker 1
ok we're turning it off yeah return in a second is the main node okay turning it back on yeah yeah
05:00
Speaker 2
Give it 10 seconds and turn it back on. You may use the switch power the bottom of the main parent node. Okay. That is right. Okay. And after turning it on it will show right away a solid blue light. And then we'll give it one or two minutes, it will start to blink blue, then we'll wait for solid blue. And we're waiting for the main parents node right now. The two child nodes are plugged in.
05:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, quite close. Lincoln red. Yeah. Yeah, now it's Lincoln blue.
06:00
Speaker 2
in within five feet away from the main node.Write. All right. Okay, thank you. B: And how's the main node's light? Is it blinking still? A: Okay. B: Blinking red means it's unable to detect internet. So just to make sure, blinking red on the main parent node. A: Uh-huh. Okay, that's great. B: So we'll wait for it to turn steady solid blue light.
06:00
Speaker 1
Right now it's solid red, which isn't good.
07:00
Speaker 2
And the main parent, no, is it very good? Still. Let's try now. I'm disconnecting the ethernet cable from the main part of the node. The one that's connected into that internet port. Disconnect it. Give it 10 seconds, then reconnect it back. This guy here. After doing that, let's check the light on top of the main parent node. Is it solid red? Still?
08:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Pink and red now. Blue, flashing blue. so steady blue now. Solid purple.
09:00
Speaker 2
in node, let's check if it starts blinking again, okay? [silence] okay. [silence] all right, let's [silence] [silence] let's [silence] let's check the child nodes next [silence] let's check if they are turning to solid blue, give them one to two minutes. [silence] I see. So just to make sure child nodes are both showing solid purple light, right? [silence] Alright, so we're going to add them using five press method since it is on setup mode.
09:00
Speaker 1
I've reset my phone. Yeah I thought that okay over the agenda. That's all right just turned blue now.
10:00
Speaker 2
press you are going to click the reset button of the main node you know. That uh make sure to uh click the reset button of the main parent node and after five press or five click light on your main node will start blinking again. Should be blinking blinking blue then it will wait for the solid blue. right and how is it after five press of the main node is the main node starts blinking.
10:00
Speaker 1
no constant Yeah, so the blue started flashing now. the domain is got flex in the child so it's a constant purple Yeah, steady, steady on earth.
11:00
Speaker 2
Observe next, see if the child nodes, if they are flashing now, when one of them is flashing pink. Okay. Okay. it's still showing steady solid pink light on the child node, correct? Okay. let's wait for the main node to turn a solid blue again
11:00
Speaker 1
Nothing blue now. It's steady red. Now it's active and blue now. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
And how's the main node? Parent node is it solid blue again? Okay. Back to solid red. All right, let's try again the five press or click the reset button on the main node five time to add the child node. [silence] After [silence] Thank you, thank you, I think it's last one I had one for this.
12:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, but. But the, uh, node is turned purple now, which matches the color of the child node. Okay, so the child node is flashing, is flashing purple.
13:00
Speaker 2
c much solid purple means it's on setup mode. I'll give the main parent one minute more. We'll we'll we'll check if it starts blinking then we'll wait for a steady solid blue. Okay.
13:00
Speaker 1
I'm only doing the want to right now because I don't have enough plug space. [silence] Unfortunately it's gone flashing red again.
14:00
Speaker 2
All right, it, it responded to the five prayers, so it's, it's currently pairing with the main node. And how many child nodes right now is already flashing? Okay. Understand. So I'll just wait for this one to turn solid blue. It's a case of from flashing, um pink, it will show flashing red, then will wait for a steady solid blue. And for going back to the main node, the main, is it back to solid blue?
14:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah, it'll show it.
15:00
Speaker 2
still solid pink light. I see since, um, main node is already solid, let me double check. Um, on, if you try to use the Linksys app, did you have a customized Wi-Fi name for your Linksys mesh network? Let's open Wi-Fi on your smartphone. We will check if the customized Wi-Fi name is still showing up from the list of available networks. All right, so right now the main node has no changes. It remains solid purple. So here's the thing. We're going to reset now the main parent node properly. And this will delete the customized Wi-Fi name on the main parent node. But no worries, we can customize it back after it shows online solid blue again. So for the reset process of the main par
15:00
Speaker 1
it shows very blue now
16:00
Speaker 2
[silence] So give it two to three minutes for the main node to configure itself. [silence] All right, and how's the top light on the main node?
16:00
Speaker 1
black and green. I haven't seen single purple yet. Okay, purple. Yeah, that is purple.
18:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Before it shows a flashing blue, did it light change to pink or purple? Okay. Serena waiting for a steady solid blue light. And that's on the main parent node, right? Solid purple. Let's observe the light. It should blink next, like a flashing purple, flashing blue. and wait for a solid blue. Let's give it another two to three minutes. So
18:00
Speaker 1
It's flapping white. solid blue sorry it's now flapping white
19:00
Speaker 2
Okay, that's great. All right. It's not showing solid blue. It means connected and online. So at the bottom of this main parent node may have the Wi-Fi name showing at the bottom. Okay. It's still flashing. Perhaps needs some time. Let's further wait for it. Turn solid blue.
19:00
Speaker 1
Right now it's changing to something else and it's just off that. Now it's flashing blue. Yay. Okay. Yeah. Okay, let me connect to it.
20:00
Speaker 2
And is it flashing white still? Okay. Alright good study session. Blue will check the default wifi name of this current node at the bottom of it may have the wifi name showing at the bottom. Yes please. If you're seeing the wifi name, the default wifi name on your smartphone, try to connect to it and if it's asking for a password, you may use the wifi password. Is the only message. So once you're connected to this default wifi name click setup, select the Solana dev. version that you would like the default is white. That we're not going to the old, we're going to test the new one. Okay. Aufsen's. Ihr befehl. Cloning into wired. You're asked for the system password. remote there. push your SSH key to avoid getting press again.
20:00
Speaker 1
Now click exit now. Okay, just to put my email address and password. Unlock your name is taking a little, yeah, we found your network. So add to accountTranscribe this audio from the left channel
21:00
Speaker 2
all right. and going back to your linkis app, we'll use it to configure back the Wi-Fi. course, close your linkis app and then reopen. okay. since we've reset the main parent node, it will actually re-add your network. like scan your network again and will try to add it back.
21:00
Speaker 1
Throws in a rooftop word. [silence] Of course. Yeah, I'm in the dashboard now. [silence]
22:00
Speaker 2
a dated, yes please. All right. you may try using the default Wi-Fi access point found at the bottom of the node, the main parent node. All right, so we can now try adding again the child node, the first one. Let's reset the first child node, the same reset process. Press and hold its reset button.
22:00
Speaker 1
so this child node doesn't show blue, but it's literally off, no lights. I've been holding it for about 20 seconds. Uh, huh. Yeah, blue light come on. Yeah. Yeah.
23:00
Speaker 2
button, wait for the light to go off and once it shows blue, release the reset. Yes, please. Keep pressing still, the reset button. Let's wait for the blue light. All right. So we'll wait for that child node to turn solid purple and while waiting, on the Link's main dashboard screen, let's go to the menu option, the three lines at the top left hand side, then go to Wi-Fi setting. You may now change the default Wi-Fi name and the default Wi-Fi password. [silence] Once you're done, click save button to save the changes of your WiFi name. Okay.
23:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I'm still coming up as the previous name, but is a incorrect otherwise, so I'll try.
25:00
Speaker 2
And after changing the Wi-Fi name and password, you may also check your smartphone's Wi-Fi, check if it shows a new Wi Fi name, then reconnect to it.
25:00
Speaker 1
It didn't change a password, but didn't change the WiFi name. Yeah. Yeah, I'm connected. Starting the process again, unfortunately. Yeah.
26:00
Speaker 2
you can also of turn off and on Wi-Fi in your phone. [silence] okay. [silence] And you open and in this app again, let's make sure it shows the Wi-Fi settings showing your Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password you've created. [silence] And uh, right now your phone is still connected to the original Wi-Fi name, right? [silence] Would you like to change the wi-fi name?
26:00
Speaker 1
yeah this is this is the cause of everything connected to it, I won't have to manually set everything connected everything after that [silence] okay it's online now, and it's been changed [silence] yes, it is
27:00
Speaker 2
Can edit it? Okay. [silence] Okay. And let me know once you have done [silence] done changing the Wi-Fi name and connected back to it. All right. [silence] And going back to the child node, is it showing solid purple now? [silence] Let's try one more five press on adding this child node, so five
27:00
Speaker 1
Okay, solid red, uh flashing blue, I think blue. Uh child mode is flashing. Thank you.
28:00
Speaker 2
Press still on the main parent node. So click the reset button of the main parent node five times. Okay. And it should go back to solid blue, then once it shows solid blue, all right. So check, observe the child node's light. All right. So it responds again to the five - press. This time we'll give it two to 3 minutes again and wait for a solid steady blue.
28:00
Speaker 1
red. Doesn't flesh and red mean that something's wrong?
29:00
Speaker 2
All right. Blinking and red, so, straight now, next, we're solid blue. it's actually trying to connect to the main node now once it shows flashing red.
29:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it might take me a while to set that up, though. What I'll do is, shall I call back and I'll have it ready? Oh, okay. I'll put this on hold.
31:00
Speaker 2
In case, um, we will further try. Another method on adding this child, we'd, do you have a computer that we can. Use to access the. Settings of main node using a web browser. Umm... Okay. Yes. Um, you can actually call back, but let me also check, do you have extra Ethernet cable that we can try for the meantime, connect this child node wired? Ah, it turns. All right, so that means connected. We'll make sure it shows on the network. Let's refresh your link sys app. You may force close it and open it. Then let's check if it shows now the child node.
31:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I'm steady back now. Yeah. blue now, so I'm hoping the no is up now. [silence]
32:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's give it one minute, one or two minutes for this child node might change to blue. And is it still red still on the child node? Okay, all right.
32:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, two notes brilliant. Thanks for your patience. Yeah, uh-huh. So, so now now I can unplug this and put it in the right place. Is that right? Right. [silence] [silence] [silence] we set the new child node on the wages.
33:00
Speaker 2
And after you relocate that first shield node, just uh let it connect on that original spot, then we can unplug or add the second shield node, move it near to the main parent node, okay?
34:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Nature remained there. I'm just just checking if the one we've done is that.
35:00
Speaker 2
All right. Is the second child node near to the main node now? Uh-huh. Okay. And for that second child note, we're going to reset it, same reset process. Press and hold its reset button, wait for the light to go off, and once it shows blue, release the reset button.
35:00
Speaker 1
I'm Nicholas Mall.
36:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Yes, paste on the main parent node. And after five press, we'll observe the second child. Let's check if it starts flashing. All right, and is it second node flashing now? All right, so I'll give it two to three minutes, turn solid blue light. okay. still under process edde.
36:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, cool. question. Yeah, the first child node is blue and it looks like the second child node is flashing blue, now flashing red, it's not good.
40:00
Speaker 2
All right. and is it block flashing still for the second child node? Okay, still in the process of adding still. so we'll give it a minute more, two to three minutes more. and while waiting for the first child node is it back solid blue now? okay. okay. all right.
40:00
Speaker 1
that looks like it's come blue. Okay. Okay. Yep, showing us free. Thank you very much. We got there. Now you've been very, you've been amazing. Thank you very much. Very helpful.
41:00
Speaker 2
Alright, it's showing solid blue now. We can also try this a check this second child node if it's also showing on the Linksys app you're in network. That's amazing. So now I unplug this second child node and it should reconnect after relocating it. And anything else that I can assist you with Linksys? You're most welcome. I'm happy to assist you. And thank you for calling Linksys. If you need assistance again, feel free to contact us back. Have a wonderful day.
