Speaker 1
spectrum people because i have normally 400 mb of speed and this weekend it went down to uh to less than 100 about 90 something he rebooted my modem and my router and he says that the router is showing that uh it's running at 100 mb instead of 1,000 MB. And he tells me that he told me to call you guys to have you talk me into updating the firmware for my router. Yeah, I went down yesterday. It was uh
02:00
Speaker 2
okay, um, yeah, we can try to check, sir, if um, the router the router in your room is up to date um but right now, sir, is this on to networking? It just is it just that the speed just went down?
02:00
Speaker 1
always running at 400 over 400 megabytes speed, which is what I was getting from Spectrum. And then all of a sudden yesterday, it went on only to 90. It's still running fast, but it's only at 90, 92. Uh, I checked it with the speedtest.com net website. And, uh, then he checked it, and he told me what I just told you. That the router is, uh, registering at 100 megabytes when it should be 1000, right? So he said he he gave me your phone number, and he told me to to tell you guys to to see about updating to the firmware of of telling me how to update the firmware.
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay. I was. Okay. Uh-huh. All right. Okay, so that's a paper. All right. We'll try to troubleshoot on that, sir, and try to see what we can do for that. First, I just wanted to inform you that, as per checking in our records, it shows here that this router, the hardware works. on. Okay. All right. Uh-huh. So we have done the reset on this. settings. And tried to update. to. So let's do that first.
03:00
Speaker 1
Now, okay. So it's going to cost me $15. cuz it's because when did I buy this when did I register this router in 2023 you said. So it was October 2022 when I uh when I got it, when I registered it
04:00
Speaker 2
Warrantee already ends OCT 08 2023 and I just wanted to set your expectation that we're out of warranty device. We no longer provide free technical support but we could still be able to help you only that it will cost you uh $15. So $15 is for one hour of troubleshooting. If you going uh if you will be willing to proceed with that we can provide uh we can proceed with the troubleshooting. So it's up to you. [silence] Yeah. [silence] Hint hint 2022 the we only provide one year warranty for this and it expires on OCT 20 2023. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
registered the router. Okay. Now, do you feel like you can fix this problem for me or would it be worthwhile to go buy another Linksys router? I don't know. Not with my uh not with uh I have I have that Linksys on my app I have, but that's it. Okay. Thomas Treveri CIA B-U-R-R I. CIA. B-U-R-R I.
05:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. Well, of course, um it's gonna be a process of isolating the issue. Um there is no guarantee, but I will try my best. I just-m-verify. Do you have a Linksys account? Okay. Can you provide me your full name and your email instead? Hold on, sir. What's your last name again? [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
see you like a cat. The same spelling of my last name, at yahoo.com. Right, spell it back to me to make sure you get it spelled right. Yes. How long will this take? No, but I'm saying will it take 10 minutes, an hour, two hours? What will it take? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, I guess the best thing to do is I'll just buy a new router and because I, do you have to go into my computer and can do that or what? And you could talk me through it, right?
06:00
Speaker 2
have to isolate sir um the issue so I normally sir or usually we always check the speed at the back of the router so that's going to be the speed from the modem uh it would be very helpful sir if you have a computer that is capable of wired connection and um just sir I can just provide you the troubleshooting and you can do it on your end yes and just to also set your expectation sir um I tried to verify in the last form where we have on this router was um last 2022 as well so after that we no longer have any update and um
07:00
Speaker 1
So you don't think there's no more update for this router? Okay, so therefore it probably wouldn't be worth trying to update anything when there's no update for the router. So the best thing to do is just to get a new Linksist router, right? And will that cost me $15 or you can do it just?
08:00
Speaker 2
I believe that routers just automatically get updates especially if it's if the automatic update is set or is activated yeah there's no more update but there's another thing that you can do sir if you will be willing to do it um you can try to reset and reconfigure the router um most of the time it works but sometimes it doesn't so there is still no guarantee but most of the time it works you can do it on your own sir like the reset and the reconfigure but it will um it will cause you to lose your [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Yeah. uh hmm hmm hmm. Yeah, okay. Alright well. I guess what I'll uh yeah go ahead and send it to me and then I'll I'll just uh go ahead and hang up and uh more than likely if it's too difficult for me, I'll just go to best buy and uh try to buy another router then No, that should she do it. Uh have you sent it yet? So I can check my email.
09:00
Speaker 2
Internet connection sir. The whole system, like, it's gonna get you back to the beginning. to start from scratch and then like set up again the router. I can send you a guide for that, sir.
