Who was it again, ma'am, your internet service provider? Xfinity. Oh, okay. Uh yes, I'm still here. Okay, I'm actually checking. Okay. [silence] Yeah. And, um, ma'am, I did actually check it here, so you're internet service provider, the V-SAT, um, seems, um, you cannot, um, maybe you might really, get a hard, you know, a hard time setting up the new router. So maybe you can request a technician that could visit you, on your, um, address.
02:00
Speaker 1
So, so the the service provider I'm supposed to get from from ViaSat? Okay, cuz I just called ViaSat and they didn't say anything like that to me. They said I needed to call you. So are you saying that I Yeah, but I won't have a new I won't have a new router.
04:00
Speaker 2
So when the technician from, from your internet provider or, your internet service provider is there, uh, then, uh, let them call us so that, so that we can work with them on how we can set up everything. [silence] Yes, from choose it, you can request a technician that could visit you directly to your home, so, when they got there, tell them to call us so that we can work together on initially setting up our information. Because, they can actually deploy a technician directly to your address. So, when the technician got there. I'm sorry?

05:00
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. Yeah, you need. Yeah, you need to get the new, road. You know, you want to want, you want to have. So, I can, um, Okay. So, um, Okay. Ah, yes, I, I understand. So, let me ask you this question, mom. How many devices are currently connected to your links, this route? One computer. And is there any other um, devices, like maybe security camera, phone? Okay, so.
05:00
Speaker 1
MX 4200, what was the other one? El? L and L and like, like no LN 11. 11 November. 11. Okay. And MX 4200. So those are the two different routers that that I could. what's the difference between those two? I mean, is there, how would I choose which one? Are they basically the same or?
06:00
Speaker 2
If you only have the desk, uh, if we are only going to work with a desktop, um you can actually get our ANM 1100 or the uh MX4200. Yes. LN. Yes. November. Uh, yes. Yeah. You can purchase from Amazon.
06:00
Speaker 1
of what I'm sorry what package flat okay okay power did you say okay [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
They are physically the same. The Elan 1100, um, it's actually a kind of flat, uh router and it's a flat, it's a flat router. Yeah, flat. And then it has um five ports at the back. And then um aside from that, one, it's actually kind of very small. It's actually kind of not very um space consumer. So, the second one, the MX4200. So, how this router actually looks like is that it's kind of a little tower. Um, yeah, it's a it's a little tower. Like if we are going to compare it, it's actually um something like about [silence] about it'sry to it's. feature or how does it look like? right? depths, it's actually how it's actually how it's big. uh-huh. And then um so uh regarding what the.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Yeah, okay. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. And then, okay. Okay.
09:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. So, yeah, the first one was flat. The second one was, is actually a little tower look like. So, and then, the difference of this one is the, um, let me just talk. So, the, the, the LN 1100 is a dual-band router. You can just actually get, uh, the LN 1100 instead of the MX 4200 because, uh, you are, I mean, this will only work with one desktop. And if you can add, or if you wanna, or if you wanna get a new phone that could work wirelessly, then yes, you can, it can definitely work. So, you can actually check this one out on Amazon. [silence] Yeah. Just, Mhm. [silence] So, when you
09:00
Speaker 1

10:00
Speaker 2
It's okay. So when you already receive the device, once you already have it on hand, call the Internet service provider and then ask them to deploy a technician on your area so when the technician's already there, call us so that we can talk to the technician and then we can work together on setting up the LN 1100. 1100. the same one?
