Speaker 2
the one. So. uh comma papal address can you spell that one for me please? oh, okay, thank you. And just to complete your record what's your first name and last name? uh, your first name and last name. Okay, thank you. And what's the light indicator of your latest device now in the front? Okay, can you still see your own Wi-Fi broadcasting the Wi-Fi name that you you usually have? Can you still see it?
04:00
Speaker 1
No yes. Yes. Yes. [silence] No. There are no hardwire hookups on my my laptop.
05:00
Speaker 2
Okay. And prior calling us, did you already did the proper boot up sequence like unplugging both at the same time and powering back on the modem only and you waited for it to go back online before you turn on Linksys? Were you able to do that one? Okay. And the router is still offline. Um, if that's the case, that only means uh, your router needs to be further checked by its settings. We need to have a computer right now that can be hardwired. Do you have a computer that can be hardwired? Okay. I see because that's the only way for us to get the MAC address from the modem, which we will going to Mac clone on our Linksys device. What I can do right now to your Linksys is just purely checking its settings if some thing.
05:00
Speaker 1
Well, who in the world has a computer sitting around to do that? [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
got changed the reason why you don't have internet but just to let you know aha if ever all the settings on the router side is fine we will really need a computer that can be hardwired before we can move forward okay um yeah some of our customers has adapter with them that will also help them to boost their signal once their computer is hardwired and you know what the reason why we also need that one to verify the internet from the modem itself I'm understand you already called your internet provider but they're just checking it remotely not really the physical connection right there probably the port on your modem is not really providing internet because our router is designed to automatically detect the connection from the modem and it will have a solid blue light in front the only reason why it will turn to red once it cannot detect
06:00
Speaker 1
Uh, yes. I don't, you know, I don't have any choice. The internet provider says it's up to you, and I went through, you know, an hour's worth of stuff with them. Um, so, let's go.
07:00
Speaker 2
internet connection from the device where it's wired into. So, I'm just letting you know ahead this one because I don't want you to, like, waste much more time with dealing with a router just in case the problem is really something from the modem. So, that's the only troubleshooting step that we can do. Though your router is already out of warranty, but we can still offer you a free technical supports. It's just that, um, if you really don't have a computer that can be hardwired, then we can exhaust all the troubleshooting. Do you want to proceed? Okay. Okay. I need you to switch off first the Linksys device. Just, uh, use the switch at the back.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Itself. Okay from the the modem that's going to the cable that connect itself to the router. Right. Okay. Hold on.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay can you unplug the modem too? I need to check something here in my end. Just unplug the modem's uh adapter from the outlet. Uh just leave the Ethernet cable that uh that is physically attached to both device. Just unplug its power adapter so that there's no lights on the modem. [silence] you're still there, right? um, hello, maybe you're still busy unplugging the, power adapter, I'll just stay uh, 20 seconds more just in case I cannot hear any response from your end. I will just end this call to call you back immediately. Hello? Still there, Ginger? Can you hear me?
08:00
Speaker 1

Speaker 2
[silence] Hello. Probably already got disconnected. Um I'll just end - okay, there we go. Yes. Yes. Uh-huh. Okay, good. Just gave me a minute or two. All right. It's all done. Um you can now turn on just the modem only. Only the modem. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay, okay, you want me to go ahead and turn my computer off, too? Okay, okay. Macintosh yes
13:00
Speaker 2
Just take your time. No need. Just leave it. Your computer, is it Macintosh or Windows computer? OK. The lights of your modem, is it all lit up? OK. You can turn on now, Linus. [silence]

[silence] though there's no internet. That's fine. We can still log onto the setting. [silence] Okay. And on your modem side, Ginger, does it have more than two ports or more than one port? Your modem. [silence] Okay. So, yeah, once your computer is connected to your Wi-Fi, just open a browser and make sure you type this one on the address. [silence]

21:00
Speaker 2
right side but we cannot enable that one for now since this computer is not hardwired. So let's proceed. You can click there now the local network tab. And there's empty boxes there on the right side. For static DNS 1, uh input each boxes number eight. So for static DNS 1 only 8888 And then for static DNS 2 that should be 44

24:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So, you can now check, again, your computer. Reconnect it to the Wi-Fi if got disconnected. Okay. So, yup. Since the router is still solid red right now, that only means it's still offline. You still have access to the link base dashboard. Okay. Just click on retry. [silence]
