00:00
Speaker 1
Better than the models that we have that they're pretty old that you guys would recommend um and then second question is can they connect to wireless home internet yeah um mx 2200 [silence]
01:00
Speaker 2
[mumble], uh, AHEAD, so, uh, just to confirm, sir, may I at least have the model number of this, uh, range extender of, uh, yours? Alright, thank you so much for that. But, so, regarding with this, uh, sorry, regarding with this one, sir, I'm gonna set your expectation that these are Not traditional range extenders, okay? And these are mesh devices, so that means that they can also be configured as a router. So, if your main goal, sir, is, like, the, your, uh, second question, if these are link, uh, devices or, uh, link, uh, mesh routers are able to connect to other brands, I really do apologize, sir, that they cannot be [silence] There, uh, [stutter] there might, um, uh, restrictions on the connectivity of mesh networks.
01:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so what does that mean? I have five, I've got I've got that Mimix 2000 and I also have a WHW03. Okay.
02:00
Speaker 2
Connected or used as a wireless repeater or wireless range extender without a parent node or link this to main note. So if you want to upgrade sir for a new Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7, you really need to still configure one of them as a parent node. So, I assume your current setup is one of the five nodes, sorry, one of the nodes is wired directly to your modem or internet source. So, that node or that device is called a parent or main router. So the parent node should always be wired to the internet source. And for the child nodes, they wirelessly connect to the parent or main router broadband link to create linkst this. So, whether it's wired or wireless, this is to the parent or main router. That's where the internet source is.
02:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK, if these are sales or areas, I did not have it connected to the it's mobile. I just tell you it's a mobile wireless home internet. So, I did not have one of them connected to the mobile box. So that's probably an issue.
03:00
Speaker 2
notes, they can either be wired or wirelessly configured. So even though if you will upgrade to a newer, system sir, that's still that's the setup for mesh devices. So again, for example, if you will purchase a three-pack, so one of them will be configured as a parent and the two will act as a booster or a child node. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh, yeah, so. Yes, sir. So that's the reason why, why your links with, devices aren't able to get online because, and it's not your fault, sir, because, maybe you just think that uh, they will, they can be configured or they could be configured [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, that would be great. I would appreciate that. And so just to confirm, these devices are not outdated technology. They're, they should still work, or is there newer ones that's gonna, are gonna work better for my method, my, my, what I'm trying to accomplish.
04:00
Speaker 2
as a traditional wireless repeater. And don't worry, some of our customer like misled for that one. And yeah, if you want to still use them. And actually, sir, you already have a previous case here and and I believe you already know that the hardware warranty status of your devices has already expired. And don't worry regarding with that one. If you don't want to avail the paid service, I can actually send you a step-by-step instructions via email on how to properly configure these devices of yours. Yeah, regarding with the WHW03 or the WHW 01.
04:00
Speaker 1
[a 1.5-minute discussion] Okay, so the MX 2000s are the ones that are compatible or good now? For the W03.
05:00
Speaker 2
fine. Nods that you have. Uh rest, I'm gonna set your expectation that those devices are already one of our obsolete. However, for the MX 2000, rest assured that these devices are still new since they are still using the Wi-Fi six technology. So, however, they're already newer ones, which is the Wi-Fi 6E or the Wi-Fi 7. However, uh for me personally, uh as long as these devices are still like uh usable, like they can still connect to the internet, rest assured that you can still use them moving forward. Yeah, yes sir. The MX 2000. And actually, both these devices are still good to use, sir. It is just that this W-03 is already one of our end of life devices.
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay, got it. Okay, MX 2000. Okay, well thank you very much. And just curious, um again, what is the latest uh newest ones that you guys have? So just in case these don't work, I can go get them. Okay. The six, 2000. Got it. Okay. All right.
06:00
Speaker 2
so, uh for. Yeah. So again, for, for this setup, one of the, uh mx2000 uh should be set up as the parent node and then other than that, uh all the uh four nodes will be configured as child node and again rest assured that I will be sending you, uh straight forward and simple instructions on how to properly configure them. uh, yeah, no worries. Yeah, we actually have the mx2000. So, uh, mx623. sorry, mx6200. So mx62 then 300. Okay. Uh, yeah. Uh. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
Got it. I appreciate your help and I will look for that email. Can you confirm the email address you have? R a y? Yes. Correct. Yes, sir. Yep. Okay. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. [silence]
