And when did you purchase [chanting] m AND 1100, do you still remember? I see. Okay. So for [unintelligible] okay, um you purchased that one online. Okay. So, um yeah, you can just provide me later on the receipt mem, so at least we'll be able to update the warranty status of the L N 1100 that you have. But, um yeah, no worries, we will still be able to support you with the unit. So, um you can do that one. Yeah, you can do that one later, so we'll we'll we'll resolve first your your concerns. So, for the parent node, it's the L N 1100 and then the child node,
07:00
Speaker 1
Yes. And I have two of those. Um, well, I plugged them in having them in close proximity to the router. And I should say there, there, there's one child nodes that came with the router and that, that was fine. That added perfectly well and it's functioning. So these are two additional nodes that I'm trying to add to extend my Wi-Fi. So, um, yeah. So what I've done so far is just plug them in in close proximity to the router. I tried going into my app and tried adding a new product. Um, or I should add say that. So I went in, I said add a new product, and then I clicked on the add that.
08:00
Speaker 2
Is that an 1200, right? uh huh. Okay, too, all right. So, um, did you do anything with that one, ma'am, before you, or what did you try so far?
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay, I see. But, uh, you've mentioned you have, um, you have one node that came together with the parent node. Is that also LN 1200? Okay. So, with the two, um, with the two LN 1200, ma'am, I need you to reset that one. It's near with the parent node, right? Okay. So, I need you to reset the LN 1200 that is blinking red. Um, press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
09:00
Speaker 1
ah okay Okay, that's one. Now I'll do the other one. Should I do them both? Or just okay?
10:00
Speaker 2
We need to connect the laptop to that tool that we've got in the vehicle. And, Colleen. Yeah, very easy. Yes, you can actually do the other yeah, you can actually do the other one while we're waiting.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay, I've done both of them for 30 seconds. Okay, they're just blinking blue right now. One of them is solid blue.
11:00
Speaker 2
All right. So, let's give them some time. Um, let me know if the LED light of this 2LN 1200 turns solid blue. They should be solid blue in a few minutes. Ah, okay. Okay. And sorry, ma'am, I didn't catch properly your internet service provider.
11:00
Speaker 1
all right networks okay yeah sure okay okay it looks like we have solid blue uh no out of the okay
12:00
Speaker 2
provider. Who is your internet service provider again? Allerica. Is that A-L-E-R-I-C? Okay Okay. Thank you so much. Okay Alright. So, I need you to do this one. Let's just try this method. So, earlier I asked you to press and hold the reset button of the L and 1200 for 30 seconds. So, this time, since we were going to add them, I need you to go to the parent node and then press the reset button of the parent node five times. It's press release, press release. So, so do not hold it. Just press it five times. Not too fast, not too slow. The interval is 1.
12:00
Speaker 1
Ah, okay. Five times, Okay, I've done that. Oh, it's just staying solid right now. Yeah. Yes. One of them is blinking. Uh, yes, one of them. I reset two of them. Oh, now it's blinking white.
13:00
Speaker 2
1 press per 1 second. Five times. Yes. Okay and then the parent node and then your parent node should start blinking. White. Is it? Solid white. Okay. Give it sometime and then check if one of the child node is blinking. Okay that's the child node that we reset right? [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1
And the other one is blinking blue. We'll see that it does. My router is still solid white. Okay. Yeah, they're both blinking white now. Oh, now the router is like kind of a bright orangey-looking light. It's not just white. Oh, now it's white. Okay. Okay. Okay, great, thanks. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
Okay. That's good. Okay, that's fine as long as the child nodes that we reset are blinking. At least one of them is blinking. So we'll just- Okay, that's good. Okay. okay. So that means it's actually they're actually already communicating. So they're establishing a connection right now for the two child nodes. So it may take six minutes. So it might take some time. If you need to do something else while we're waiting, you can take your time. I'll just be here. Okay. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 1
OK. oh, they're solid white. Everybody is solid white. Yes. Let's see now. All right, right. Okay, go back to here. Okay. Okay, there. Okay, it's showing for nodes. Yeah, that's it.
18:00
Speaker 2
So, how's the light so far on the of the child nodes? Out. Okay. All right, that's good. And then, you've mentioned that you have the Linksys app, right? Okay, can you double check if they're showing on the app? Let's make sure that they are at least online. For nodes, okay, that's good. So 1 parenting node and then e 3 child nodes, mm-hmm. [silence]
18:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Right. Right. Yes. The numbers seem to match up. So. This is grand. Okay. Mhm. Great. Okay. Well, thank you very much. I don't know what the problem was, but. And then I should go, I should find my receipt um, for my purchase, yes? For the the router. Oh, good. Okay. [silence] Okay.
19:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay, that's good. Yeah, so you can unplug the child nodes, ma'am, and then move it to your preferred location. One after you - once you plug them back into their um to your preferred location, give them like another three to five minutes, they should automatically turn solid white to connect to the parent node. No need to do anything. Right. You're welcome. Yeah. Yeah, of the um, for the - yes, correct. So I'll be sending you an email? Yes, for the router, so I'll be sending you - I'll be sending you an email after this phone call, so whenever you're available, you can just um send the email back or reply back, okay?
