Uh, hi. Uh, my name is Patricia Russell and I'm calling about my mesh system. I was speaking with another person earlier. We were trying to fix one of my child nodes that isn't working. And in doing it, um, I unplugged and plugged in my modem and then the modem wasn't working. So I had to go to my internet provider, Spectrum, call them up and get the modem fixed, which it is now. So now I have to call you back and I believe there are some notes about, uh, what we've done so far and that the person I spoke to before felt that, um, it was going to involve a reset of my linksys system. Okay. I'm sorry. Oh, the light of the.

That's, that's weird unless it's the MX-6200 or the MB 7,000. The one documented here is the MX-8500. Okay. Oh, okay. Had that make sense. Uh, got confused for a second. But yeah, thank you so much for confirming. [silence]

23:00
Speaker 1
Hey. Yeah, if you wouldn't mind. Okay. Now, this one was out for quite a while, um, before I noticed the red, the red light because it was behind something. Um, and uh, would that have caused like, uh, less good internet connectivity? Because I was having trouble, you know, things were not, um, loading easily. There's a lot of buffering going on. Would that, uh, be the cause? Okay.
24:00
Speaker 2
you can move the MX 8500 to where you want it to be and if you want I can stay on the line to make sure that it's cuz gonna work let's do that yeah okay it would be best if you can find a new place for that or new location for that note. I mean, you can put it to where it was before, uh, when it was working but but yeah,
24:00
Speaker 1
O.K. O.K. O.K. O.K. All right. Now I'm moving it back to where it works. [silence] O.K. [silence]

Okay, I plug this in and it is, blue light solid, blue. Hello? Are you, are you there? Yes. Okay. Okay. Now, what about the message that says new firmware available update now? Should I do that? Yeah. Yeah.
26:00
Speaker 2
Oh, I'm so sorry. I was on mute again. I didn't know I was on mute. But yeah, uh, it will take five three to five minutes for that to fully boot up and we're going to see how it goes. It should turn to solid blue. Oh, there is. Yeah, I'll always do that. Um, it will, but but once you do that, um, it will take 15 minutes to update the firmware so anyone using the Wi-Fi right now working or doing their job, something, it will interrupt the connection. So, or if not, then yes, go ahead and do that now.
26:00
Speaker 1
So the, it is. Oh, now it's now it's flashing red. So it is still getting set, set up, so I should wait until it's blue, before I do the firmware, right? Okay, [silence] Still flashing red. [silence] Okay now it is solid blue.

Speaker 1
Okay, so it's going to - it says it's going to take about 15 minutes. Um, do do I need to keep my phone uh near all of the the the notes? Or can I go away um out of out of my apartment and come back? Okay. Then I'll I'll just stay. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Uh, sorry. No, you can't do that. Uh, once the setup is started, it's uh, uh, your phone should be open and if you move outside, um, it might interrupt the update. So. [silence] Uh, so, keep your phone open and, um, as you can see, This show is being cast on this TV, so this screen here will be the mirror image of your smartphone, so you can use it as a remote.
