Yeah. Hi, my name is Robert White, and I have a Linksys mesh node system, and I'm having all kinds of problems. I'm, I'm, I'm sorry I'm not educated enough to do a great job on this thing, but I've tried over and over. And I'm just having trouble, so I'd like to pay you to help me straighten out my system if that's possible.

Hi, hello, thank you for calling the tech support. This is charm how may I help you? I know what's the problem with your router, sir? [silence]
00:00
Speaker 1
Three internet. I had my first one which was WHITE2.4, then I had another one called White2.4 and it had a guest router called White Guest1, which was a 2.4 network. And now after all my screwing around and stuff. I'm on my admin site. I'm on my laptop looking at this and it's not crystal clear to me but I I actually show Uh one white at 2.4 and two whites at 5 GHz, which is all raw. So my nodes are not working properly and I need to straighten this all out. I have access to the internet through I have my one node plugged in. My master node is plugged in. I have the internet and I'm on my Lynx Admin site.
01:00
Speaker 1
Well, I think it's been a race. I think they're I, I, somehow the naming of them and the set up of them is not quite right. And, and that's the problem. And so the way this all started was, I shut down my system and put it back online and some of my nodes would not connect. So I attempted everything in the world and then in the process of doing that, I screwed up my actual admin, you know. So I need to basically start from scratch. I have one node that's working, my main node that is currently working and it is not a problem. I'm on the internet. I'm talking to you. I've sent in the logs to you
02:00
Speaker 2
All right, so you cannot find the guest network? Mm-hmm Uh-huh
02:00
Speaker 1
and that's kind of where I'm at. So... No. Well, I don't have, I have three nodes in front of me that are not connected. and I have several other nodes that are still plugged in. So I can go to them and tell you, if you'd like. uh, Aqua. I have a light blue Aqua on my one node in my office. Then I have to walk over here to my bathroom, my bedroom and my garage. So let me just tell you, okay? Okay. This one is Aqua blue in the bathroom. This one over here is red in the bedroom. And I think the one in the garage was some about
03:00
Speaker 2
All right, so to confirm sir, the child nodes are not connected. All right, what's the light status of the two child nodes sir? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
03:00
Speaker 1
About to find out. For you. The one under the garage is red blinking. When I got up this morning, I shut down the whole system and then called you to try to get some assistance on how to do this properly. Yeah, I'll do all that. hang on a minute. I have- I have three nodes in- right in front of the router, my main node, and two low nodes.
04:00
Speaker 2
i see all right um here's the thing so can the um for the router that has or the trial node that has um blinking light status and also a solid red um can you unplug it that notes and move it closer to the main node like about three to six feet away all right
04:00
Speaker 1
Right now, unplugged. So, I'll go ahead and grab this right now. But see, it's my internet system that's the problem because I still need to make sure I can have a guest router, perhaps, at 5.0 and one for 2.4 for my equipment. And what do I mean by that? My equipment is my heating system, my pool equipment, blah blah blah, that type of stuff. [silence] I'm grabbing these right now. [silence] Okay. I have the uh now I have five nodes inside in front of me. Which one do you upload it all five or just one.
05:00
Speaker 2
All right [silence] can you plug it in, sir? [silence] all five there [silence] so let's check what's the light status of all [silence] that note.
