Speaker 1
I'll see you when I go back up. okay, I got you yes, hello, how are you? yes, yes, can you hear me? so I've got a slightly complicated situation. um, first off, my name is uh, Shaw, uh, and I'm sorry can I have your name?
01:00
Speaker 2
your calling e-sense.
01:00
Speaker 1
yes, I was asking if I could have your name. G, gotcha, gotcha. Okay. All right. All right. That doesn't stand. Um, so I got a slightly complicated situation uh, which should be easy enough, but I also have some questions as far as um, basically, the in particular product. Um, I have four routers, cuz I kinda have a nice size floor. Ah. Um, and I got different routers doing different things. I have all of the serial numbers, but I got a couple complications that is happening to um, a couple of 'em. Like, I have one that I'm looking at right now. And Air
02:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry, what is that again, sir? Oh, yes sir. My name is G sir. George echo echo, yes. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
02:00
Speaker 1
Every now and again, the light, for whatever reason, it turns red as if it's going out on its own. Nothing is essentially happening. I don't know if, um, I don't know necessarily what I can correlate it to. We just, uh, got done dealing with Comcast and Comcast did actually switch our, um, our main modem box, uh, so there's that. We got a better, uh, box and whatnot, but there's a couple things I want to do. Um, I got questions as far as boxes. I think we should do that first. And then, um, because that'll let me know where I want to place the boxes. And then the other thing is I'm in the Linksys app and I just want to make sure that I'm going about the right way of naming the different routers, uh, and setting them up as far as passwords, because, like,
03:00
Speaker 2
[silence] I see. Got it. Yes, sir.
04:00
Speaker 1
Is all of the big ones say MX 4,000. So is one newer than the other or So they have, Okay, okay, so the smaller boxes are newer than the bigger boxes. Okay. All right. Yeah, I have two of the larger ones and two of the smaller ones. So the smaller ones are newer than the bigger ones. Okay. And yeah, as I'm kind of going through them, I'm seeing the lights on all of them kind of go in and out. Uh so I kind of wanted to figure that out. Um but no worries. So let me ask you this. In regards of the being that the smaller boxes are newer.
05:00
Speaker 2
The uh the MX 2000 sure is quite a bit newer than the uh bigger box, the 4,000. Yes.
05:00
Speaker 1
to distribute. I'm trying to figure out how I want to ask this question. In order to distribute the internet across the other in particular, of, routers. One of the router should be plugged in via ethernet directly into the motor, correct? Okay, so with that being said, should I use the smaller box or the bigger box too? Cause right now we have a bigger box. What should I switch that out and change it to one of the to the smaller box to have that one directly connected to the modem? Because it's newer and maybe a little bit more efficient.
06:00
Speaker 2
Yes. I will suggest, sir, for you to use the MX. Actually, sir, it's just a, uh, like a month, uh, the other MX. I'm sorry, sir. Let me just correct that one. Uh, MX2000, sir, was released January of 2020. And the, uh, MX4000, sir, 2022,
06:00
Speaker 1
Right. The Okay, so use the the MX2000. That one's a bit newer. So you say the 2000 came out in 2020? Oh, the 4000 came out in 2020. When did the when did the uh the 2000 come out? 2022. Okay. All right, all right. So okay, let me actually write that down. Um, okay. So just a second here. Let me actually type that down. So this is the so BC2 uh MX.
07:00
Speaker 2
2019 sir with 2020 sir so the other MX2000 there is newer so I will suggest sir for you to use the newer device the MX2000 sir yes no sir the MX4000 was released 2020. Yes uh 2022 sir January of 2022
07:00
Speaker 1
2022. Okay. All right. All right. There was.
08:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry, sir. Yes, sir. The 2,000 sure is quite stronger than the 4,000. So it's a try but the 42. Yeah, sorry, sir. Okay, let me just inform Mr. that the 4,000 you have that's a that is a [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so. Okay. Okay, hold on because I'm writing this down as well. So give me one moment. So,
10:00
Speaker 2
the MX 2000 is a dual band device. So for that, so for that, they already have difference since the other one is dual and the other one is, uh, three bands. Anyways, your, when it comes to, when it comes to the, the total speed, sir, the 2000, can cover up to 3,000, uh, sorry, 3.0 GMS of internet speed. However, sure, the MX 4000 can cover up to 4.2 GMS of internet speed.
10:00
Speaker 1
The MX2000. So you said MX2000 covers how much speed? 3 GBS. Actually, G is in great. B is in Bravo. Okay. GBS is your finger of speed. Okay, this is the 2000 covers three GPS of speeds. And then the MX4000 covers how much? 4.2.
11:00
Speaker 2
The 2000 S tier covers three GBPS of internet speed. Gbps. P for Paul, S for Suger. 4.2 GBPS, Charles.
11:00
Speaker 1
the MX 2000 is is dual band. Okay. And then the 4000 it's tri-band. Okay. So so let me ask you this then, if if because what we do need our private network, we need what can cover um, you know the best of speed. So that's the case we should use the 4000, correct? Yes, [silence] I'm sorry fellow. I'm sorry.
12:00
Speaker 2
yes it's dual banster for coverage sir yes actually sir was wrong earlier uh best to use as a as a parents souls are this 4000 sorry sir
12:00
Speaker 1
[speaking french] et aussi une,sonders You got you. Okay. So we should use that one as the node that is connected directly into the motor.
13:00
Speaker 2
Yes sir, the base on what I have checked here it will be better for you to use the MX4 2000 as the parent node based on the features they have. Yes, yes sir. Its leave it. Yes sir, leave it as it is. Leave your parent node as it is. And when it comes to coverage, sir, like the coverage for per square feet, MX4 2000 sir is quite, can cover bigger coverage. It can cover up to 2,700 square feet per device or per node. Yes, per node. [silence] [silence] The 2000 can cover up to 2,000 square feet.
13:00
Speaker 1
Flash read on its own, and it's a MX 4000. So I'm wondering like what's happening with this one 'cause we had put it behind something so we couldn't see it. So then once we looked, you know, we were able to and it was just a few books. Nothing crazy or anything like that that should stop the connection. But yeah, as I'm watching it right now, it's it's going red like right now it's blue and then it'll go out. It'll it'll it'll switch to to red red for whatever reason. We're getting some pretty strong internet speeds. We're getting about uh 1,000. megabits per second. Uh yes, yes, I have the app on on on the iPad.
15:00
Speaker 2
Huh. Hmm. Okay, well that's a good speech. Do you have the apps showing up on your phone? Like
15:00
Speaker 1
m, yeah so that's something else I wanted to, uh, get into because as I'm looking, see now they're both going red, and I'm, I'm wondering why. Um, let's see, last five connections. I think I may want to try to reset, uh, like, like just completely do a refresh of, of, uh, set up. Like, maybe wipe them all and, and, and re, re, set them up. Um, I just want to see.
16:00
Speaker 2
on the iPad. Were you able to check the signal strength of that node or of that device? [silence] Check as well if the firmware of these units are updated, 'cause that will really help a lot. And you can also try, changing channels especially for wirelessly-connected nodes.
16:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] Um, okay, so let's see. So the one um, sorry, number 7306. 7306. Um. Is to the, this is the back home. 7306, so and 40. Okay, so it says the firmware version is up to date. The firmware version of the one that is connected directly to the modem uh is one um 1.0.13. So uh 1013 and then um 216903 is the exact firmware version of that one. So this one seems um up to date. Okay. So, now the one that we have here, this one is the MX-2000 and the firmware version says 1.17. Um, that one has not been going in and out. Now I have one that is showing offline. Uh, Let's see, nodes are within range. That's the thing. They're all up, so I'm not sure as to why, but I'm gonna choose to remove the node from the network.
17:00
Speaker 2
yeah it's the a most updated version here the one point zero for 13 version number
18:00
Speaker 1
I'll be with just a moment I'll be able to tell you kind of where I am. [silence] Very moment it's refreshing. Oh, uh, it might have been old. I'll choose this. 261 is the one that goes in the back room. Okay. All right. All right, so I have one in particular that is giving me issues. And it's giving me a red light that says and it's blinking, so it says out of range, move closer to another node, if it's your parent node. Make sure it's connected to your modem, which it is. And it's not far from that in particular, the node that's connected to the router. So it's giving me a red blinking, out of range. But what's funny is, I have a note that is sitting directly next to it that is not blinking.
19:00
Speaker 2
Hi. Can you confirm, sir, that the signal streng is--- Okay. How is this node connect? Is it connected via--- Wired or Wi-Fi? Okay. There are--- Other nodes, sir. This is one of the child node or the parent node. [silence] [silence] [silence] Okay, so can you do a reboot sequence for these nodes? Uh, yes sir, but you have to do it by sequence. Uh you have to start.
23:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK. Oh, OK, because they're bouncing connections off of each other. OK. All right, so you just want me to pull the power on it or or turn it off and turn it back on? Yep. Yes. Uh, OK.
25:00
Speaker 2
with the parent node and uh the rest of the node and then once you turn it on sir you have to turn on first the parent which is the one connected to your modem make sure that it's already back online then when you uh turn on sir uh the child node you should you should start sir with the one closest to the parent's node and so on. Yes. Yes sir so that uh this node will connect via daisy chain. Yes sir. Uh maybe just give it a minute before you turn it back on for the parent node but for the child node sir you really have to wait for this node to uh for the parent node to fully boot up before you turn back the other nodes.
25:00
Speaker 1
Uh, three one three, eight five eight, uh, two eight, two two. Yes, that's fine. First name is Jeremiah, last name is Shaw, uh, S-H-A-W. Yeah, uh, it is going to be, um, trying to see which one I want to give you, um,
26:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Sorry, sir. While you do that, sir. I have first your phone number Okay. How about your first and last name, sir? Let me just create a ticket for you here. How do you spell your last name, sir? Shaw. Okay. Jeremiah. Yes, sir. Will it be okay if I ask for your email address, sir? Mm-hmm.
26:00
Speaker 1
S-H-A-W-E-S-C-A-P-E-313-at gmail.com. So that's going out to be S is in Sam, A is in Henry, A is in Apple, W is in world, E is in Edward, S is in Sam, C is in Charlie, A is in Apple, P is in Peter, E is in Edward-313-at gmail.com. Yes. Y-yep. I will give that to you. I'm actually um standing at the parent node right now. Serial number is 38-U is in umbrella-1-L-0-M as in Mary-38-B as in Bravo-0-7306.
27:00
Speaker 2
Okay, got it. Thank you. Gmail.com. And I also have the serial number of the parent's no chair. You can see it on the app. [silence] I see. [silence]
27:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Yes, I powered powered the parent node off, left it off for a moment, um powering it back on and then uh disconnected the child nodes and waited for a moment for the parent node to come up.
28:00
Speaker 2
Okay, got it. Thank you. By the way sir, I you know, doing this, uh, the sequence rebirth. [silence]
28:00
Speaker 1
all the way up and, then, um, uh, re re-connected those. So now I'm waiting for everything to come back up. I will have to find out how long they were, um, um, using this parent and I'll give you just a moment. Give me give me just a second. I can find out for you. So I'm just gonna, let you know once I get that, I'll let you know. [silence]
29:00
Speaker 2
Mhm. May I just ask how long have you been using this device sir? This file is node. Mhm. I see. Okay.
29:00
Speaker 1
let's call 1970's age range. It takes two to tango. Hm. Like. Yeah. It's probably been a few years. I had to answer myself. I know they got some particular nodes. Uh, the the the nodes that are connected to the main... [silence] [silence] Yeah, um, it's probably been a few years if I had to answer myself. Um, I know they got some particular notes. Uh, the, the, the notes that are connected to the main [silence] I didn't get the number of stitches. No. And then, um, they got those two smaller ones. Okay. Okay, okay. They were so they were stating that they, um, they got the nose.
31:00
Speaker 2
Oh, yes, sir, I can use your books are running out.
33:00
