[silence] Hello. I um trying to reset one of the nodes on our uh mesh system. And uh it it it's one of the nodes it seems to be um coming into a fault condition regularly and uh I'm struggling with it. Yes three.
00:00
Speaker 2
Welcome to Linksys support. To assure a quality service, your call may be monitored. Please remain on the line for assistance. Thank you for calling Linksys technical support. My name is Ellie, how can I help you? Okay, one second, please. Um-hum. Uh, when you say regular, sir, like this, this router like keeps on disconnecting. And um, how many Linksys routers do you have in total, sir? Three. Okay.
00:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's correct. It's php and mags at hotmail.com Yes, that's the system that we bought the in, um, that's the individual router, yeah, yeah. Yes. Um, yeah in meters
01:00
Speaker 2
Um, let me just go ahead and I'll pull up some information using your phone number. Just give me one moment. Uh by the way, sir, I'm speaking with Mr. Phillip Kelly. Can you confirm your email address, sir? Thank you so much. And to confirm your router or the Linksys device that you have is MX 4200? Okay, thank you so much. Okay, so this um child node, sir, that keeps on disconnecting from your system like how far is this child node if you can estimate it?
01:00
Speaker 1
I would say, yeah, sorry. Go ahead, Ellie. Yeah, in meters, approximately 20 meters away. But it's it's up one floor, so it's on the next floor in the house, and it's a ways back in the house. So the the master node is right by the the main front door of the house and the child node that disconnects is towards the rear of the house. Right now, the LED is kind of on a blinking red. So it's a slow intermittent flashing on and off
02:00
Speaker 2
and that's, that's how far would you say? 30 mters away. Uh huh. Okay. Thank you so much. So, uh, right now, sir, um, what is the LED light that is coming from this child? Uh huh. Okay.
02:00
Speaker 1
Yeh i, I've tried several locations within the room and in other rooms. The interesting thing about it is we have another child node which is right up in the attic at the top of the house, so another floor up again and further away also and that one seems to connect no problem and that that's been really stable and no issue at all. Yes, I've just done that. So right now I've brought it to be right[silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay. I see. So yeah, that actually means that this child node really got disconnected or lost its internet connection. But have you tried like maybe moving this one a little bit nearer to the parent? Okay, I see. So how about with this one, Sir? Can we bring this one near to the parent node please?
03:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, okay. I am pressing the reset. Oh, in fact, let me just get something to press it with because my finger is a little bit too big to uh press the button effectively. Okay, so I'm gonna press and hold the reset button on the child node now. and guess that's around about 15 seconds. Okay, so I'm going to release that now on the reset and it's started to go solid blue and now it's kind of on a slow blinking blue.
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, can you press and hold the reset button of this child node for 15 seconds? Okay, thank you so much. Okay. Let's wait for the treatment to complete. We can then go to the [silence].
04:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK. OK. mm-hmm. OK. Yeah, no problem. No that's that's absolutely right. Mm-hmm. No, just that's great. I I'm I'm ready. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
Wait for this one, because that might actually going to take for about a minute or two. So, once we have successfully added this child node back to your network, um, the leap. So what we are going to do next is we are going to perform a proper boot sequence. So we are going to turn off everything or all of your Wi-Fi connections, and then after that, we will wait for at least 15 seconds. And then we are going to turn on the parent. Once the parent is up, we are going to turn on the nearest child node and so on. So, we should I'm sorry. You're about to say something.
05:00
Speaker 1
yeah, that's correct, it has solid purple light on the child node, yes, yeah, no problem. Yeah, no problem, I just need to get into the parent. and okay, here we go. One and two and three and four and five on the parent.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so we should be expecting a solid purple from this child node. Okay, once this child dot is already solid purple, let's go to the parent node. And (what we are going up going to do next is I want you to press the reset button of the parent node for five times. So not too fast and not too slow. So just do it for five times. Press the reset button for five times.) Uh-huh. Okay.
06:00
Speaker 1
Yes? Uh-huh. Okay. The, it, it immediately went white on the parent node and it started to blink. It has remained uh purple. Oh now it's gone red and it's blinking. and the parent okay, no problem. The parent node has now gone back to a solid blue. Yeah.
07:00
Speaker 2
So the parent should now start blinking and then after a few moments, the child node will then respond to that parent. Okay, okay. So the child nodes. Did the child node also start blinking? Okay. um purple. Okay, so that process may actually take about two to three minutes. Mhm, okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, yeah. Uh, let's just wait for this child node to be added back to the network and then after that, we can then, uh, move forward from there.
07:00
Speaker 1
[silence] yeah, it's, um, oh, it's, yeah, it's just gone from red to blue.
09:00
Speaker 2
let me know if the LED of the child node did change okay?
09:00
Speaker 1
it's still on like a slow blinking so it's rare, it's blue and then it's blinking. Okay, and it looks like it's stopped blinking. It's now solid blue. Okay. Okay, that's great. Yeah, I'm just watching it and um it's um it's still solid blue. It's the first time I've seen it do this for a long time. It's uh it normally sits for maybe 10 seconds looking good and then it goes into like a slow blinking and then turns red, but uh no, this is looking positive so far.
10:00
Speaker 2
Ah, okay. Okay, let's give it at least a minute before, uh, we do our, like, you know, we perform as it. Oh. So, like, um, if you can, like, you know, um, if you can, um, estimate like how many times do you experience this issue?
10:00
Speaker 1
To be honest, I called and I spoke with your colleague Ruby in November last year and it was really good about two or three months. And then my wife told me that she'd experienced trouble with it. And I tried to reset it myself, and it seems to be okay. But then basically, since around [about] Easter time, so what was that, April. it's just been almost continually in a fault mode. I just have, this was the first time I've really had an opportunity to focus on it and give you a call. So it's basically been continuous since April. But then I've not, I've not actually spent any time trying to correct it.
11:00
Speaker 2
Cool, uh, in one month. Hmm. Oh, yeah. Hmm. Oh, I see. So how about this one? Sir Philippe.
11:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK. That sounds great. Yeah, that's correct. It's still solid blue. OK. So OK. so.
12:00
Speaker 2
After the call, I'll be sending you a troubleshooting instruction. That is a video tutorial on our official YouTube channel of Linksys. So, there are seven troubleshooting that also includes the adding of a child node. Um, if you experience a slow speed, there is also a troubleshooting instructions that you could follow on that video tutorial. So, okay? Mhm. So, right now, um, Sir Philippe, the child node is still solid blue, correct? Okay. So, what we are going to do now is I want you to turn off everything, that includes the other child node. Yeah, the parent and the child nodes, sir. And the other one as well.
