Yeah, uh do you have a computer or a laptop you can use to hook up directly to the modem? I see. So, um, aside from power cycling the device what what else have you done?
01:00

02:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm, I see. All right, sir. Um, I totally understand that uh you're having issues with your device right now, but um then again we cannot conclude um right away that it's the router. But anyway, uh we I will be running some some uh questions and uh I'll be creating a record review here in order for me to proceed further, okay? So let me just Okay, so let me just confirm. Your name is Edward Alan. What's your last name again, sir Edward? Bond. That's B-O-N-D. All right. How about your email address?
02:00
Speaker 1

Speaker 1
Okay the link issue setup is uh let's see the the password okay serial number okay the serial number is okay so three three six Y 10 M two nine A zero one three six nine I think it's six nine yeah okay let's see okay the serial number yeah the number is 36 Y 10 M
04:00
Speaker 2
for that one. Now can you provide the model number and the serial number of your connects router? No uh the model number and the serial number. Yes, you can provide me the serial number and I'll look for the model. I'm sorry sir. Can you repeat that one?
04:00
Speaker 1
M 29 A O 1369 M. hmm. Yep, that's it. Uh, I guess the rising, I think so, yeah. Okay.
05:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let me just repeat sir, it's 3-6 W for Yankee, 1-0 M for Mike, 298A for Alpha, 01369. Alright, thank you so much for that one. And may I also know who's your internet service provider? Verizon? Alright. Alright, let me just check your device here and finish up the record. Just bear with me a little while. Alright, so I can see here that you have a Linksys device with a model number MR-7310. That's your Linksys router. And then, um, just to set your expectation, this, uh, specific model is already part of our end-of-life devices, which means we no longer manufacture this one and update its firmware. But anyway, um, to start the troubleshooting,
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay, so just disconnect everything. Okay. Well, I can't just turn it off. Would that work? Okay. let's see. Okay. Okay. it's out. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
Can we do a sequence reboot on your network? So basically, it's just like unplugging both your modem and your router from the power source and wait for at least two to three minutes. Yes, sir. Unplug it from the power source. And then... I'm sorry? Hello, sir? It will be best if you unplug it from the power source. All right, so I'll have a timer here and let's just wait for at least three minutes. Then uh, after...
07:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK. OK. OK. Let's start. Anything. Anything. Anything. No, I don't have the link for this app. Could I get? OK.
08:00
Speaker 2
three minutes we're going to plug in first your modem and wait for it to stabilize before we plug in back your router okay so I'll just tell you when it's already been three minutes. Um, all right. Oh, by the way, sir, do you have a links to the app with you? A links to the app. I see. All right. Uh, we'll do it later on.
08:00
Speaker 2
hello? yes? yeah um it hasn't been three minutes sir so let's give it more time okay all right
10:00
Speaker 1
Oh. OK. That's in. And then I'm ... [silence] OK. I'm plugging it in now. Should I plug it in? [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Sir, it has been uh three minutes, so let's uh plug in back to your modem first. Your internet source. All right. And then let's wait for it to stabilize before we plug in back your Linksys router. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. I just did, I'm sorry. Oh, [Laughs] Okay.
12:00
Speaker 2
what do you mean, sir? The links as router. Yes. Sir, you can plug in the modem. the modem first. Don't don't plug in the links as router yet. okay. So let's just wait for your modem to go back online before we plug in back to your router. So just tell me if your modem is already stable.
12:00
Speaker 1
Well, I have to plug it in first. He said don't plug it in. Oh, okay. Not sure. Okay. Okay, I've plugged it into modem. Okay. I can't see it.
13:00
Speaker 2
um, i'm sorry, sir. Um, what did you mean by "do not plug in"? Okay, uh, let me just uh make it clear, so are we going to plug in first the modem. Okay? Let's wait for it to stabilize and go online before we plug in back the router from the power source. So the modem is different to the router? The linx's router is different to the modem? So the modem is the one that came from your internet service provider. Did you unplug it earlier? Oh, I see. That's the modem, sir. I told you to unplug the modem and the router so that we can do a sequence reboot. Yes, sir. All right. So let's just wait for two minutes. It's okay. No worries, sir. I might be I might not be making myself clear. So, we're having a bit of a misunderstanding. [silence] Okay.
13:00
Speaker 1
okay. um in this though. okay. okay, i'm plug i'm plugging in the Xfinity device. okay, it's, okay. well, it's on. i can't tell if it's stable. it just says it's on. hmm. i think so. not sure. i don't see anything like that. i'm sorry. i i don't know what you're talking about, unfortunately. oh, okay, now. it's on again. um
16:00
Speaker 2
We can now plug in back your modem sir. Yes the Xfinity device and then let's wait for it to stabilize. All right just tell me if it's already stable does it have like um an internet light indicator you don't see anything.
16:00
Speaker 1
[DOWNWEIGHT] the Linksys it's it's three but it's it's a role lighter than all I know it doesn't show anything there it is there it is it's starting to blink well the heat in here might be messing it up I don't know okay it has a blue light that's blinking what does that mean oh should I cal
17:00
Speaker 2
You know the light indicator, how many light indicators showing on your modem? But on the Xfinity device, it doesn't show anything. Okay, uh let's just give it at least um 10 minutes then. Okay. Oh, okay. So it's still rebooting.
17:00
Speaker 1
and i think it's plugged in then okay okay okay
18:00
Speaker 2
No, no, just leave it as is. Let's just wait for it. I'll just tell you if it's already... a minute. [silence] All right, sir. Let's plug in back your router, your Linksys router.
18:00
Speaker 1
Is anything happening on your side? Oh, okay, okay. Okay, the light on the Xfinity box is stable and the Linksys is.
19:00
Speaker 2
we actually don't have visibility on it sir what we can only see here is the information of your router um normally the the Linksys router would reboot for at least two minutes for it to go online. So let's let's just give it some time.
19:00
Speaker 1
Well, let me check the, uh, my, my, my pad. I'm going to, I'm going to check right now. Yeah. Okay. Now, let's see.
21:00
Speaker 2
Yes sir uh we can check your connection if it's already back it has been two minutes
21:00
Speaker 1
not connected. Well, of course it wasn't. Let's see. Well, it says it's linked up. Hmm. But it's been gone that two times before and then failed, so I don't know. Well, it says it does. It says I do. Hmm. Is it because the cuz I have a feeling it's because it's I have a feeling it's just because it's system that it's having trouble now, but it might be that.
22:00
Speaker 2
Okay. That's good to hear. Okay. Uh huh. That's good to hear, sir. Okay. Let me just note that I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Uh huh. 'Cause sometimes, sir, you just have to do a sequence reboot or restart.
22:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay, that's something to remember. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. If it starts again, I'll check back. If it does start failing again, I guess I'll have to call it back.
23:00
Speaker 2
Boot up the network, that includes the internet source. Because the router is also just dependent on the internet service providers device. So if, by chance that you're, you have a issue with the router, I mean, with your connection, you should always go back to the source. You're very much welcome, sir. So for now, let's just monitor it. And, um, let's see if, uh, the issue will persist. And just don't hesitate to give us a call back so that we can do further troubleshooting. Alright, sir. You're very much welcome. I'm I'm s- [silence]
