Hi, how are you doing? Uh, I'm uh, I'm doing okay and I'm not doing okay. I have been dealing with linksus and AT&T for a few days now. And um, we finally figured out my business, but what we're having a hard time figuring out is my um, is my house.

Speaker 1
So, I didn't know if you could help me out with that. So, basically what it is, is I have MX-2000 routers and I have a few of them, okay? Um, and I have three of them at my business and I have, uh, three of them at my house and two other routers at my house as well. Here's the dilemma and this is what's happening. Um, when I am, I did a pass through on my AT&T router. I just got off the phone with AT&T. I explained to them what was going on and I said, I want to check to make sure my router configuration is correct. And he compared it to the one at my business and he says, it is a 100% in pass through mode. I was like, okay, that's great. If I'm, i'm a hundred percent and passthrough mode. Why do I have two ports that are not opening? So he told me, he said, well, he's. If you were you. I would call linksysis because your modems are set up the same. And if you have the same uh, linksys routers at your house, as you do your business, something's going on. Because can you do you wanna check do some port checking and I can tell you so you can see what's going on. Okay. So the ports that I need open are 22 88 843 41790 41791 41 794 and 41 795. All the ports are open, except for 41791.
01:00
Speaker 2
I can check the I can check the ports right here so you can just tell me what's going on. [silence]
02:00
Speaker 1
And four one seven nine five. There you go. I have got them set up identical with my work and here. If you'd like to log into my account, you can look at the setups in both of them and the port forwarding and you can see they're the same. But for some reason here at my house those two ports are not opening up. Thank you, sir.[ silence ]
03:00
Speaker 2
ok, hold on oh, by the way, I cannot log in through your router. we don't have access. What I'm going to do is I'm going to check your record right here because it does seem to have a record. Just gonna read this one.
03:00
Speaker 1
[silence] I'm in, I'm on my computer.
04:00
Speaker 2
you, you know how to log into your system settings? the router system settings.
04:00
Speaker 1
yeah, I'm, I go to C, A, and you go to, Connectivity, yep, I'm troubleshooting, where do you want me at? yep, I'm there. 99.109.233.109 417991 and 41795. so, 91 and 95. on both systems, it's TCP. It's called, it's called a crest-tron system. Yes, sir. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
and what device are you trying to configure or what way you're trying to do? Okay, think.
06:00
Speaker 1
sir, if you can hear me, I got to switch lines for a second. I'm sorry about that. Can you hear me? [KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Hello, I'm hold on one second. Let me wait here until it beeps when to be pulled off. You go. I had to go to work for a second. I was trying to talk, but I had you had me on hold. So what do you find in there, my friend? It's first time setting this one up. Do you want to look at my one my business? I can set you up with it and you can look at it um because I'm here right now and you can see how it's set up and maybe compare the two. What do you mean? The device that I'm opening is a crestron. It's a box.
10:00
Speaker 2
So, I was actually just checking on what are the possible reason why you can't, um, I mean, why it's not not working, but was that working before or no? Is this your first time setting it up, opening a port for that? No, that's OK. We'll do it if it's not really necessary. But for now, um, do you have a physical device for it? You do, right? Like, is it a software or is it a hardware device that you're trying to open a port?
14:00
Speaker 1
and it has a static IP of 192.168.2.44. Okay. I'll be done here at my business and I'll be back home. I live right across the street, but go ahead, ask me whatever you need. [silence] It's not connected. It's hardwired in. It's hardwired into the switch that goes to the router. So and it's just a dummy switch, so it's just, you know, just a pass-through information here in person. Yeah. I'm both. So so on the port range forwarding is used for
15:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, 4.4. And right, I knew it is that already connected to Wi-Fi or not yet connected to Wi-Fi? Hardware into the router. And I ddi you use the single port forwarding or port range forwarding?
15:00
Speaker 1
17 and 90 through 417, 91, then 4, 17, 94 and 417 and 95 is the other. Then all the others are single ports. Right now I'm at the business. yes sir
16:00
Speaker 2
So, which Wi-Fi are you connected right now to your business Wi-Fi or, What I'm thinking is that we all try to disable the
17:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, when I ping it from here, it shows those two ports are closed. And when I ping it from home, it shows those two ports are closed. Yes, sir. Hey brother, I got to switch lines for a second. I'll be right back.
18:00
Speaker 2
and. Let's see if that's gonna work. And also we're gonna try the ping. If we can ping that. Okay. mm-hmm. Okay. two ports are closed. And those are the two ports you mentioned. Okay. Okay. And can I ask, how did you ping that? I just want to make sure that we're on the same page. [silence]
18:00
Speaker 1
All right. I'm coming to my driveway. [silence] All right, my friend, can you hear me? I'm here. I'm at my house. okay okay Let's see here. I'm in the router right now. Tell me what you want me to do. [silence] I'm at security.
25:00
Speaker 2
Hello? Okay, good good. So let's look into your system settings, uh web settings of your better. Go to security.
25:00
Speaker 1
and it's loading. I'm there. Uh, I got apps and gaming. There's, oh, I see it. I didn't see it before. I'm at firewall. Turn it off for now. I did. I'm going to apply it. Okay, it's applied. Now I'm doing a port check and it says it's not working.
26:00
Speaker 2
go to firewall. Setting firewall. Look for a filter anonymous internet request, tune it off for now. hit apply yeah, check okay, it should be good. Can you try again if that device is now working?
26:00
Speaker 1
Let me uh, let me back out of it and, let me see, here. Uh, let me see. Let me back out of it and log back into it again just to double check. There we go. Check for open ports. Got 99 dot one zero nine dot two two three dot one zero nine. Put my custom ports in there. They're in. Check. And it is scanning them. Uh, they all timed out. Did I put the wrong IP address in? Let me see if I've got the wrong address. Connect here. Let's see what I got. Diagnostics. Nine nine one zero nine two three three. Let me see, did I put it in wrong? I put in, yep, two three three. Okay, check. All right. Nope. Same problem. [silence] 417 91 and 417 95 are closed. [silence] Yes. No, it does not work. [silence] Okay, hold on, you want me to connect what to my monitor? [silence] Oh, I can't do that. [silence] I mean, it's in a rack system. [silence] There's wires running.
27:00
Speaker 2
so close. And that device still not working. Correct? So, here's what we're gonna do. Um, we already opened the port in your Linux router, but it seems like it's still not working. How about we test your modem? How about we connect the record to your modem and see if this problem or not? Because if that's opening the modem as well, then there shouldn't be any problem connecting that and making it work into the modem. Your question?
28:00
Speaker 1
[silence] that's through walls. and it's a same line [inaudible] [silence] direct line runs to it. So here's the deal. [silence] and so you know, my Creston has been in this house forever. 20 years. It always works. [silence] I changed internet providers. When I changed internet providers, I forwarded the exact same ports. Now I have two of these and I know how to work on them. I did it at work and it's fine. I did it here. And the other day it kind of worked, but here's the problem. Those ports are not opening correctly. And now when I try to log into it via that address, it does not work. That's the problem. That's what the problem we're having. Those ports are not, those ports are not being opened. So I have the exact same routers at my work. I have the exact same Crester on at work. I have the exact same modem at work, the mode will work, and the modem here are configured exactly the same, and the Linksys product is the same. configure exactly the same. That's why I said, would you like to look at my Linksys at work to see how it's set up? No, I understand what you're saying, but there's nothing wrong with my internal things. It's either the Linksys, there's something wrong with the way it's set up or the mode. And they went in and looked at both modems and said they are set up exactly the same. I want you to check to see if my Linksys [silence]
29:00
Speaker 2
It doesn't make sense because it doesn't make sense because there's I mean, there's that's two different network and we need to check the home network not the business network. That's why I did not check that.
30:00
Speaker 1
Do I compare. Okay, so I talked to Paulo the other day, and he could do it and he was level two support. So can you transfer me to him. That's fine. Because he, we did like a Zoom call or not a Zoom call, whatever it is, uh, where he logged into my computer. And I mean, he was working everything. And he told me if I ever have any problems to ask for him. Thank you.
31:00
Speaker 2
we we can't do that. We cannot check your sorry we we can't do that here. We cannot check your router here. Hmm. Let me check. One second. Give me three minutes. I'm just gonna check what else I can do right here. Okay? Two minutes or three. Hmm. Hmm. Alright, uh, let me check. Thank you.
31:00
Speaker 1
Yes, sir. How are you doing? The model of my modem is a BG-320 500. BG WG BW 320 500. And I my link set is MX 2000. Cool. [silence]
35:00
Speaker 2
I'm doing good. So before I escalate your ticket to level two support, can I ask for the model of the modem? BGWest. Five hundred sixty three. Okay. Got it. And Leah Godd. All right. All right. Thank you so much.
35:00
Speaker 1
They're going to call me? Okay, thank you. 816- 5-6-4-6-1-2-0. Thank you, sir. [silence] No, that's it. Thank you. [silence] You too. Bye bye.
36:00
Speaker 2
I'm going to ask let your ticket now to level two. Just wait 30 minutes. So that level two troop can prepare, okay? Yeah, I will call you back. What's your best call back number for that? This is the one. Okay. I got it. Thank you. Anything you want to add? I show. Welcome. I have you a good one. Take care. Bye-bye.
