my nodes is offline. So I went down to that unit and it was still a blue light and I rebooted it because usually if you rebooted it, but in the app, it still shows us offline but it comes back on as solid blue like it's connected and everything's working correctly. Does that make sense? Yes, how are you? You new who I was. I suppose example. No, I have not tried that yet. But I mean, the app itself, it it seems to work. I mean, it's just it it just shows one unit that is like,
01:00
Speaker 2
Yes. And it has all been Y five. Have you tried to? Yes, I totally understand that. Let me just confirm if I'm talking with Robert Moses. Yes, I am on. Yeah, because we have an existing record here in our system tool up. So you have three links is devices. They are all MX five, three. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the Linksys app? Okay, good.
01:00
Speaker 1
It shows it as being offline. But...uh, but it's... But if I go to the unit, you know, under the nodes in the um... or it says nodes and you can see like my office, the garage, the dining room, the master bedroom, the spare bedroom, and this is the my game room. But it shows... game room has an exclamation point next to it and it says offline. But if I go down to it, it's blue and it seems like it's working. Like, you know, cuz when I reboot it, it goes through its steps, you know, it blinks blue, then it turns red, then it blinks red, then it turns blue. Then once it turns blue, I I I'm thinking okay, I'm I'm good, right? And... But it... I mean, it doesn't show like a week signal or anything. It's just just just in the app it says offline. Game room. Okay. Linksys. un-install and re-install the app. Okay. Well, I can't do that with, I don't think I, I don't think I can do that being on the phone with you. But, is there a new, maybe there's a newer app out there, I don't know, you know. Well, I have to enter all my credentials and stuff? All my router password, yeah, I got to find all that information cuz it's it's in a file somewhere. But, um, here it is. Here's my network. My router user name, my router password. I got that. That's all I'll need to do when I un- reinstall it. Okay, well, I'll definitely try that and and maybe that will correct it. But I'm pretty sure it's on
02:00
Speaker 2
Please uninstall and reinstall the Lin XVI app. Yes. Yeah, you can. Yeah. Yeah, let's proceed. So logged in using your router password also.
03:00
Speaker 1
Online. I mean, how, it wouldn't turn blue if it was off-line, right? Okay. All right, All right, I will do that. Thank you so much for your help. Oh, I can? Okay. Okay, I'll let me, let me try to do here. So first I'm going to uninstall the app. Linksys. I'm just going to delete the app, right? Okay. Okay, I deleted the app. Now I'm going to go to app library. I'm going to look for Linksys. Linksys smart Wi-Fi. Linksys smart wi-fi. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, but you can proceed to uninstall and reinstall the Linksys app sir so that we will know if it still shows offline on the Linksys app. Yeah, but you you can also do that while I am here on the other line so that we can verify if the issue continues. Yes. Yes.
04:00
Speaker 1
management. Okay, I'm reinstalling it right now. I'm gonna say open. Allowed to do that. I don't know which email address I have in that though. Do you know that? Oh, router password. Yeah, I got it. I got it. Router password. Okay. This is my router password. Incorrect password. Try again. How could that be? Okay. Oh, you're right. You're right. Hold on. I'm going to try a different password. I think this is it. Oh, getting router settings. Okay. It's it's getting the settings now. So I
05:00
Speaker 2
Charlie, just log in using your router password. There's two options to not plug in on the app. Select router. Okay, try to reset or forgot. Your router password is different from your Wi-Fi password or to your links account.
05:00
Speaker 1
i had the right password. All right. Now, it came back online. It says six nodes, but the game room is still showing offline. Uh, all right, hang on. I'm gonna walk down there and tell you. I better tell them, I better take my glasses because you know, it's little. I bought extra nodes for this thing, and I put them on. And they all seem to connect. And I'm telling this Wi-Fi system is the best thing ever. You know, I think it's, it's always worked great. I have never had any problems with it. Okay. Hang on. I'm in the game room right now. And I'm turning it over. And the model number is name password recovery key. Serial number. Oh, MX

And yeah and there's only one uh there's only five child nodes connected. You can actually set up that one again.
11:00
Speaker 1
What's that? Okay, I'm doing that right now. And I actually have two parent nodes. I have, I have the one in my office is the main one, and then I have an ethernet wire that runs all the way to my garage and I plugged in the one in the garage on it. And I'm going. Yes, that's where I'm going right now. I'm taking this upstairs. And I'm going to plug it in within two feet of the parent main parent node. Okay, I'm plugging it in right now. Okay. Plugging it in. It's booting up. [silence] If you speak again, I'll keep recording.
12:00
Speaker 2
move that one closer to the per- move that child node two or three feet away from the parent node. Your parents noticed the one connected directly to the modem. [silence] yeah. two or three feet apart.
12:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. It's plugged in directly to the wall on that. It's blinking blue-newbnotes. Now blinking red. Okay, hang on. I'm holding the reset button. [silence]

14:00
Speaker 1
Um. Yeah. Give me a second here. Still blinking blue. I guess I could do that while it's blinking blue, right? Um, so the serial num- serial number on this one is- there's a recovery key- serial number 38, U1OM39A15435. Now it's solid purple. Okay?

15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, hang on one second. I got I got the parent node out. It was in the cabinet like okay so you'll need to do it five times. One, two, three, four, five. Okay, done. Now it's it's like a light purple blinking. No, the parent node. Now it's solid blue, the parent node. Child mode is blinking red. Okay, now that this wouldn't affect any of my other nodes, right? Okay, good. Blinking red. Seems like it's blinking a little faster now. Cool beans.
16:00
Speaker 2
Sure. Press release. Yeah, press release. Go ahead. The child node. How about about the child nodes? Okay. Setting up. So, kindly wait three to five minutes for that node to turn solid blue. No, it won't affect the other nodes. [silence]

You're moving faster now. Kent is still blue the way it normally is. still blinking red. [silence] Blinking red. Solid red now. And now blue. Solid solid blue. Now it's solid blue. That's what we want, right? Solid solid. Solid? Yes.
17:00

18:00
Speaker 1
Okay, okay, I'm going to unplug it and take it back down. [silence] plug it back in? All right, we're plugged in.
19:00
Speaker 2
Okay, relocate the child node now, back to the game room as it was. Okay, and wait, yeah, and wait 3 to 5 minutes for that node to turn solid blue again. Okay.
19:00
Speaker 1
Okay. blinking blue blinking blue blinking red.
20:00
Speaker 2
Yes, it's okay. Just wait 3 to 5 minutes.
20:00
Speaker 1
Solid blue. Okay, so I should shut the app down and restart it, right?
21:00
Speaker 2
Okay, can you please refresh the linksys app and then check if there are six devices that are online. [silence] now just refreshed it. [silence] maybe you can drag it down or force close then reopen the linksys app. [silence] Okay, and then go back. yeah, go back to administration, diagnostic then send network log.
21:00
Speaker 1
, uh, uh, uh, . I think you fixed it. You're really good. You know that? Yeah, it's still solid blue. And like I said, in my it's showing me that six nodes are all online now in the app and that this one is connected to the office. Well, it's it's connecting to the parent node in the office by the diagram. It's funny though, because the office the one that says garage on it. You
22:00
Speaker 2
here welcome for that one sir it might be just the child mode needs some refresh reset it needs to be reconfigure okay and not under game room. It's on the office. okay. [silence]
22:00
Speaker 1
and it just shows like ... ... cause it's connected by Ethernet and then and then the dining, the dining room's connected to the garage but everybody else is connected to the office but yeah it's yes ma'am, five or child nodes. Yeah, yeah, because but it doesn't, does it matter that one of them is connected by Ethernet cable itself? Cause that, that makes it really good.
23:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Okay. Yes, I see. And did you already send the network logs? Let me just refresh that in my end. So you have six linked us devices, five child nodes. Okay. Oh, yeah. Absolutely better since you did that reconnection.
23:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. The garage is, the garage is on an ethernet cable from the office. It just goes right from the office. Hmm. Yeah. No, but you were wonderful and I so appreciate your help. OK, very good. Thank you again for your help. You too. Uh-huh. All right.
24:00
Speaker 2
Okay. And, uh, after verification, sure, it shows that there are five child nodes connected. One is wired, so it means we've fixed the issue, and it shows on the, uh, Linksys that they are all online. So, is there anything else that I can help you with? You're welcome, sir, and, uh, by the way, feel free to call us back and your ticket number is 072065. You're welcome, and have a great day. Take care, Robert, and bye for now.
