The farmer org is 1.0.14.216 738. Yes, I don't have one. Yes. Okay, I'm ready. Okay.
33:00

okay, so when we tried to add the curl node using the web interface, the light indicator stays solid purple. And we already did the process two times. So, kindily grab an extra ethernet cable. And the uh uh uh curl node is it plugged in directly to the wall outlet. Let's just try to... perform the five breast method again to the parent node lesley um together. Are you ready? Okay. So, breast release, breast release, breast release,
33:00
Speaker 1
What do you do? [silence] The parent node is white and the the router or the extender is purple. Yes.
34:00
Speaker 2
[silence] What is the light indicator of the parent node? It's still solid purple after we did the five press method. Okay, so thank you for patiently waiting, Leslie. Are you still there? Okay, so I would really apologize for the inconvenience, but we have already tried everything and this router could not be added to the parent note. So, I would like to set an expectation Leslie, that this device is compatible with or does it work with the WHW0 series. So, since you're currently using a MX6200, oh it couldn't work with a parent node. So, either you can return this device to the store, or you can purchase the same model number of the parent node. Uh, I'd really apologize, Wesley, but as of now, we cannot guarantee that we can provide a device to purchase directly from us, so we recommend to purchase that one to our designated stores, such as Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart. Better to look for a model number that is the same with your parent node, the MX6200. But can we confirm the model number of the other node? You mentioned earlier that you have three Linksys devices
34:00
Speaker 1
the same, I bought them in the same box, um, say that wait one more time, Right. And this one is a, see this one is a AC 1 300 and you're saying it's not compatible, you got to get the same number.
40:00
Speaker 2
the parent node is an MX6200. How about the other node. MX6200 also. So there's the only device that has the different model number which is WFW010 1P. So you have three Linksys devices. You mentioned earlier that two of the nodes are MX6200. Okay, so since you're because this model is compatible to hook up or to work with the WFW00 series and your Linksys parent node is an MX6200. It's one of our upgraded device and it's a cognitive mesh. So if you're planning to add additional [silence]
40:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Velot Pro 68. Six, eight. Oh, Velot Pro 6E. Okay. Okay. I will, then I will return this and I will try to get the other one that, that is the same number. And, um, if I need you, I will call you back. Okay. All right. Go ahead. [silence]
41:00
Speaker 2
Node, better to purchase the same model number of the parent node, Leslie, which is MX 6200, it's a, will Velop 6e A. For Edward. Yes. Yes, of course, and I do really apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to call us back once you've already purchase your Linksys or your new Linksys router to assist you setting up that node. So I will also provide your ticket number, Leslie, so that the next technician can quickly access your information. So it's 1299942080.
41:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Thank you. You too. Bye bye.
42:00
Speaker 2
Okay 445 so 129945 uh thank you for your time and uh your patience and have a great day Leslie bye.
