Speaker 1
I've had it for a little over a year I guess. Um I don't understand what's going on with it. There's three nodes. I have a two-story house. Two nodes are on one story. The third node is on the third story the second story, I'm sorry. And uh the middle node, the one the one that's the one that's closest to the main uh router is red and I can't get it to turn white. No, no, solid red. And I've rebooted the router several times. That node keeps coming back red. I mean, is there software updates or something for this thing? I'd say this is a high-end router, you know. How do you do that?
01:00
Speaker 2
is it solid red or like a blinking red light yeah um if that's the case then we can just reset that node and read it back to the system i think it was disconnected if it still stays solid red so um first of all you need to
01:00
Speaker 1
Okay, you want me to do that now? That's me, that's me. All right. Let me go down and get the, get near the node downstairs.
02:00
Speaker 2
so that I can walk you through, just to verify, this is Mr. John Andolino, if I pronounce it correct.
02:00
Speaker 1
Plugged. Okay, it's unplugged. Can you hear me? Hello. It's unplugged. Okay. I can do that. Hold on. I the initial shhh the shell number of the
03:00
Speaker 2
All right. Yep. Great. Then plug it in next to your main port or at least 2 to 3 ft. away from it. And also, can you give me the serial number of your Linksys device? Please, just one of them. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
this device is: so are you ready? 5818 W10 M2 E01591. okay, so it's plugged in next to the main node. The blue light is flashing. Wait till it turns red. It's gonna take a couple minutes. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
Okay. [silence] Yeah, just wait for a moment if it won't turn to red. [silence] Yes. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
So number of this node is 58w10m21 echo 01591. The main node is solid white. Yes.
06:00
Speaker 2
Um can you repeat again? The serial number Here. I didn't get any records here in my end. [silence] Okay. [silence] Made note is still solid white, correct? Okay.
06:00
Speaker 1
So as the node upstairs, this one's close, this one's about 20 feet away from the main node and it's red. It was red and it was red and I tried to reboot it and it stayed red. Okay, it just came white. Internet service provider is MediCom. Uh, yeah, MediaCom. It's red now.
07:00
Speaker 2
um say I just give it a minute and who is your Internet service provider um alright kindly reset that one
07:00
Speaker 1
Dress and hold reset button on this node. [silence] until it turns white. [silence] It's off, it's, it's, it's off now. Let go. [silence] Okay. [silence] It's solid blue right now. [silence] It's off now. It's, it's, blue came back. It's flashing blue. [silence] Okay, I'll wait.
08:00
Speaker 2
One just press and hold the reset button until the light will turn off, then release. [silence] Yeah, on the child node only. [silence] Until the light will turn off then release. [silence] Yep. [silence] Then, we'll start to reboot, then let me know if it will turn to solid blue. [silence] Okay. [silence] Let's just wait for the light to turn solid blue. [silence]
08:00
Speaker 2
Let me know if the child node will turn solid blue, blinking red, or blinking blue. Okay, okay, still trying to boot up.
09:00
Speaker 1
Do these things have firmware updates on them? They do, they don't. Well, I don't know. Automatic. I don't know if it hasn't any hadn't gotten any. I wouldn't know that. Okay, it's solid blue now. Press pair button. Is that what that is? Press and release. Press and release. Okay. I pressed and released. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
It does automatic firmware updates. So, yeah. Yeah, they do. They do have automatic firmware updates. Yes. All right. Good. So, on your main node, can you go to your main node and press the reset button? I mean, the pair button, the big button at the center. So you press that. Yeah. The big button at the center. Uh, yeah, just for one second. And what's the light? Yeah. What's the light of the main node?
10:00
Speaker 1
What? Yeah, the blue, the blue is flashing now. Okay, did the, did, did, did that upset the other one that's already white? Okay, it's flashing white.
11:00
Speaker 2
What's the light of the main node after you... Okay that's good. It's now trying to connect to the main node. So let's just wait for it. How about the main node? No um it will not upset or affect it. How about the main node? Is it still flashing white? Okay peaked.
11:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Both of them both of them. You mean which ones? The main one I the main one I can see the upstairs one I can't see. [silence] Okay, well there the main node is still white, the child node is flashing white. [silence] That's correct.
12:00
Speaker 2
Let me know as soon as both of your nodes will turn to solid white. The main node and the child node. Okay. You press the pair button on the main node, right? Not on the child node. Okay, good. I'll just wait for the child node to connect.
12:00
Speaker 1
How long, okay, well, it's been doing that for a couple of three minutes now, never, so if this thing turns white again and stays that way, it's so
13:00
Speaker 2
It'll take like 3 to 5 minutes for each child to finish. So yeah, just give it some time. 3 to 5 minutes.
13:00
Speaker 1
solid white now. When it goes red or after that? okay. Let's stay staying solid white right now. Now. okay. Okay. We move it. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
Okay, that's good. Just give it another minute. It might turn to red, but it will go back to white. Then, that's the time you can unplug and relocate it back to where it belongs. Wait, it will go red, then it will go back to white. Then, you can relocate. But if it will stay white after one minute, then you can relocate it. Okay. So, yep, you can relocate it now. Yes, just unplug and plug it back in to its location. okay. Yep. It will reboot, you have to wait 3- five minutes again for it to reconnect to the system. [silence] sometime that it happens, especially if the main node will reboot or there are some power outage. [silence] Sometime the child node cannot reconnect back to the main node. That's why you need to re-add it again.
14:00
Speaker 1
But you're saying, if that happens, again, just put it close to the main node and let it connect and if it doesn't then then try to repair it. Okay, but I hope it wouldn't happen very often because well, it hasn't happened in a long time, so I should be honest about that.
17:00
Speaker 2
if the channel to disconnect, just bring it right next to the main node. Sometimes it will do the work, like it will just reconnect, then you can relocate it back. No need to reset and re-add. Yes, sir. Mm. Mm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So on to be now connected.
17:00
Speaker 1
well, it hasn't it didn't go back to red before. let's see what's in there. Okay, so it should it should be okay, you're saying. all right. And and you're saying firmware updates happen automatically to these things. I don't have to do anything. Okay. All right. Well, then right now it's back to white, so I guess it's working. I appreciate your help. yeah, yep, thank you so much. I like your product, by the way. I always have. Yep. Take care. Bye now.
19:00
Speaker 2
the instance says that it will go back to red for like a couple of seconds. Then it will go back to white. That means it's now connected. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It should be okay and it's now connected. it doesn't have to work. Yeah, it's automatic, sir. Okay. You're all good? Okay, I see. All right. So. You're welcome, sir. Thank you for calling Linksys. You have a good one. Bye. Thank you so much, sir. Thank you for that feedback. You have a good day, too. Bye.
