But my upload speed is like 70 and they diagnosed it, they being my ISP provider, which is WideOpen West or Huawei showing some type of setting issues in the modem.

Speaker 1
It was Amazon. I didn't just get it. I bought it last year on July 13th of 2022. I just registered it today. Yes, from Amazon, yeah. off of a second buyer or something like that. I bought it new. Um, I have a a screenshot of the receipt as far as it was from Amazon purchased, but I couldn't upload it to my computer because I'm having issues on my internet, obviously right now. I have I have an order number, but I don't go ahead.
17:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So you mentioned that you just got this modem from, where did you purchase it? Okay. So you bought the modem last year. Okay. Mm-hmm. Do you still have the receipt? Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry for interrupting, but sir, actually, upon checking here in our system, uh, based on the serial number that you've given me. This, uh, Linksys modem is actually one of our end of life device, and the technical support is even not covered. Okay, the technical support ended August 2024. So, with regard to the modem, there's really no specific configuration for that, because, uh, it's plug and play, um, only the internet service provider can make the changes on the, uh, on the connection okay, of the modem, especially the speed, or the, uh, the download speed and the upload speed. Now, since there's no, uh, this, this is one of our end of life, uh, devices, and the technical support is no longer covered, what we can offer, sir, is only our website, which is
17:00
Speaker 1
Oh. a playcitor something I know it's out of life so it's uh discontinued online you know and like I said were selling it last year like you said last year even the uh The anyway yeah so I'll try either Amazon or I mean I'm really was not I was $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] and I got $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] worth of points from my company for an Amazon gift card so I'm not out money but I do see something online I know it can't give anything there but I did find something online I can go and
19:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Now, you may try checking this one with your internet service provider again. And if possible, you can ask if you can try to replace this one with Amazon if it's still in warranty. So if they're still having some issues, then you can have that checked with Amazon. If they can still replace the device. Yes.
19:00
Speaker 1
I went to um the internet thing with a, with a 192. something like that and it does show something that I have some access and settings, even though it's a modem. according to AI. so I might, I might tinker around with that. I don't know. They said some other settings and they're, they're reason is because it's not their modem, they're not going to touch it. And I understand their position. So they gave me your, your phone number uh for tech support, but obviously I'm uh out of luck. So, all right. I'm probably just going to wrap it up. Go ahead. I'm sorry. That's it. Oh, okay.
20:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Yes. Well, actually, this, yes, this is a cable modem. So there's really no special configuration for that, not unless it's a router. So if it's a gateway, yes, we can we can probably check on the settings, but there's really no special configuration for this cable modem. So it's like a switch that, plug-and-play. And only your ISP can provide firmware updates for that.
20:00
Speaker 1
Right. Well, I can see if they can maybe do something for, yeah. Because there was a-- because when I-- well, as a side note, I just probably just burn maybe 30 seconds more of your time. When I first put it in and that got them that, they-- it was working fine. Then it died. Then somehow somebody switched the settings on. There were certain-- So they didn't register it as being a Lennox modem, they registered something else. So, I don't know how that all works with them. Maybe--I'm just gonna make sure that they have the right make model number of that. Or maybe just ask them to disconnect from the system and reconnect it. Anyway, I'm just asking. So, all righty. Right, which is what I, I did too. And they, they, they reset the modem at, at their shop. They were able to reset it and reboot it. And then they also saw that my speed was low on both my Ethernet and my router.
21:00
Speaker 2
Is this for this particular modem? But if it is such a thing, uh huh. Yeah, well, actually, that's the only way I mean, that's the only process that we can do, like unplugging and re-plugging, uh, power cycle the device, so.
21:00
Speaker 1
powder which goes the separate router so anyway all righty well that's what I'll do right yeah in other words even if I got it working and not consider getting a new one pretty soon so okay I got you all right thank you okay bye you too bye bye bye
22:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. And I would really suggest for you, you upgrade, uh, your modem, because this is already one of our end of life devices and there will be no further updates, developments for this device. Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much for your time for Matthew. Yes. This is Epi again from Linksys. Thank you for calling. Have a great night. Bye-bye.
