spectrum provided internet. And it's stopped working well. So I called spectrum. And they said the problem could be that I'm using the spectrum Wi-Fi router and connecting it to the Lynx and that I should just eliminate the spectrum Wi-Fi router and use Lynx's directly to my modem. And when I try that over and over, the Lynx is never gets a blue light. It's only a blinking red light.
01:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Got it. Blinking red light means that there's something wrong with the physical connection sometimes. That's what it is. [silence]
01:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. yeah. Internet port. the modem, the modem from his -only lanes is, yeah, it's still, yes, it's still blinking red. yes, it's still blinking red.
02:00
Speaker 2
So since you remove the uh spectrum router and you decided to connect your Linksys directly to the modem Uh the ethernet cable that is connected on the Linksys is it still connected to the internet port? Mm-hmm. And the other end connects directly to the modem and your modem has how many ethernet ports does it have? Mm-hmm. Uh one only? Okay, up until now, is it still blinking red? Aha. Can you check if it's still blinking red? Mhm. Uh-oh. Okay. Okay, can you switch it off. Just switch it off the Linksys that mogą connected uh uh uh directly to the modem. Hmm. Ah.
02:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay done. Okay. Does it need to be the outlet or can I just done take the power cord out of the back of the I can just take I can take the power cord off the modem? Yes. Okay. Okay. Now I've done that. Okay. I can do it now
03:00
Speaker 2
Meaning, switch it off. And after that, switch off as well the modem, spectrum modem, or unplug it from the outlet. Take it out from the outlet. At the back? Yes, you can. As long as you can turn it off, it's fine. Take out exactly the power cord. and you I will let you know when to plug it back on. For now, we are doing the proper bootup sequence, since there was a change with the connection of your router and then the modem, that's why we need to reboot both devices. You can now turn on the modem. Yes, just the modem. Okay. Turn on to modem and okay and once it's totally rebooted we will turn on the [silence] uh huh uh huh
03:00
Speaker 1
3. extenders. And everything was working pretty well until just recently. I don't know how old my equipment is. I know some of, I know some of these nodes are, some of these nodes are out of warranty and some of them are in warranty. They're not all. Well, let's see. Okay. The modem is now back saying I'm offline. Okay. All right. Let's turn it on. It of course has a blue light right now. No. I just switched it off. Want me to press the reset button?
05:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, as long as you press the Okay, turn on languages, Sheila, and you don't press the black press the black reset button on that note. Right. What you just did was Okay.
05:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, I don't want to do that. All right, well the blue light is - no, it's flashing blue. Now it's flashing red. It's blue now. It's blue now, but let's see. It is blue right now. Now it's red. Now it's the solid red. Yeah. You think it's still possible? [silence] I don't think this is going to do anything to us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It actually does look like it's something. Actually it looks like something.
06:00
Speaker 2
Oh no, it's a big no, no, especially you have a lot of links to extenders. Pressing that button it will disconnect all of it. So we're not going to do that. As of now, is it flashing red? Okay. All right. I'll start my timer here three minutes only. Because our Ling tissue should have a steady color when it's already three minutes. Um it should go solid red, right? Okay. And it will light up blue after. Let's just wait for a couple of seconds. Let's hope. Let's hope for that.
06:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Even though the light is red? Well, it's my, my, um, my modem says online. My link sys is red. Now I'm looking on my phone, um, go ahead. Um, my phone, my phone sees the link sys, but it's not connecting to it. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
Lid up blue by now? Is it staying red? So far OK, you can check your Wi Fi now if it's broadcasting your Wi Fi. Check if it's available. Hmm. That's okay. Check your Wi Fi list. Go ahead. um tap that uh Wi Fi name and tell me if it's [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
It's saying incorrect password. I've used it, you know, for years. an iPhone. it? Tap, which icon? Got it. Yes, okay. Yes. Okay. Should I press it? Could I forget it? Okay. Okay. Okay.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay, even though you...hmm. Yeah. And then just tap there. Is this an iPhone or Android? Okay, there is a little eye icon right beside the Wi-Fi name that you have. Tap the little eye icon. The eye icon right beside the Linksys name. Tap the eye icon. And then look for forget this network. All right. And then tap it again. Select forget the network. And then re-select that Wi-Fi and it should ask for Wi-Fi password this time.
08:00
Speaker 1
It does. I've entered it but it's then it goes back to asking I'm in a it says joining and then it goes back to enter password. Ha, the link this is now blue. No, it's red again. And my phone is not connecting.
09:00
Speaker 2
your Wi-Fi password okay try to re- enter it ask good All right that means it's right breaking but you can try to re enter the password if it did not accept it okay but not nothing
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, It's solid red and my phone is not, Pardon Me. No, I've got this page that says, join, and then the name of my network. And I entered the password, but whenever I, you know, press to go, it says joining and then it goes back to the same page that says it says join and it says enter password although it's, it's there. I've already entered it. It's it's won't connect. It's a steady red. [silence] Okay, To one that's plugged in to internet. Okay. You know, the light is now blue. Should I do this anyway? Now, you know, what does it mean? It goes, it was blue this a moment ago, and now it's red again. I'm gonna unplug it.
10:00
Speaker 2
Now, the since you mentioned that there's only one port that your modem has. The other end is still connected to the internet port of the linksys router. Can you unplug the ethernet cable only from the linksys? Unplug it for 10 seconds and then plug it back in after? Yeah, just take it out for 10 seconds max and then plug it back in. Uh no need. No need. Um, here's what you can do instead. Mhm. exactly. Is it connected directly to a power outlet, not to a power strip?
11:00
Speaker 1
It's not connected directly to a power outlet. It is not connected to a something else. It was working for the for the Spectrum modem. I'm just looking, I don't even know where the direct outlet is.
12:00
Speaker 2
okay okay but uh you're sure that it's receiving enough power uh source? I mean because our link says it's nice if it it will be plug-in directly to the outlets. However, if you had this kind of connection, if that link Sys was plug in originally to a not a direct source of um electricity then that's fine. It's okay. If it works for um for the past years that you have this power.
12:00
Speaker 1
If I can find this, I'll try, oh there is, [silence] So should I unplug it and try it there? Well, what does it mean that it's now blue again? Okay, Sorry, I'm going to plug it in. And see if I can reach it. All right. Not sure this cord is going to work. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, much better. And we'll observe the lights after that. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 1
Well, yes, it's blue now. It just turned blue. Now it turned, no, it turned red again. No, Sonic. I would dread. I would dread. [silence]
17:00
Speaker 2
Okay, I'll start my timer here. We'll see how long it will take. Blinking. Okay. Okay. That you read so far. Okay, again, check your WI-FI list shallon. If it will allow you to connect this time, let me know if it's still showing incorrect password.
17:00
Speaker 1
[silence] it's asking for the password. [silence] I'm going to put it in. [silence] No, it's it's not joining. [silence] It gives me a page that says [silence] Join Network name is Velop Miroga. [silence] It says, Join Velop Miroga. [silence] Enter password. [silence] I put the password in. I press enter. [silence] It goes to joining. [silence] And then it goes back to the page that says [silence] join, enter password. [silence] With the password sitting there, but it [silence] can't join it. Now? It's it's flinking Red. [silence] You know I think I'm going to have to I think I'm going to have to start all over again.
18:00
Speaker 2
Got it. And your link says, is it still read? Again. Okay. All right. And you mentioned you have a mixed network. Can you remember your exact Wi-Fi name and password? Please remember that because our last option right now is to have this router reset and we can figure this main node and recreating the same name and password as the old one, there's a high chance that your devices will just get an auto-connect. Uh before doing that, do you have a computer that can be wired directly to the modem? It's okay if you don't have a computer that you can wire. oh can you take note of this ticket number so that you you will not have to explain yourself Sheldon the next time you call? or I can you email it to you okay. all right so that you don't have to explain and I will indicate here what we have done so far okay? all right. I will also include the specification of the power adapter just to make sure uh Shell because that really indicates the router is rebooting. it's not receiving enough electricity.
19:00
Speaker 1
FonTronics and electricity someplace else, I could, I could, I could give it a try somehow, I think. Maybe I'll try that. Okay, thank you. Okay, you too. Bye.
21:00
Speaker 2
Uh, okay. Yeah, if it's entangled. Alright. Yeah, sure. Okay. Thank you for your time as well. You take care. Bye for now.
