I do stuff where do you go you're not you want me if you want to make up cookies but i don't take a draft you want to know why i'm not working I don't feel disposed. I think it'll look so much better. Are making Mike… Still there? Uhuh. So, making Mike still there or? No. Uhuh. Nice. Oh, Sappho. Yeah. What? Yeah. [silence] I fear king Richard II is very kind mother of a person, still alive. [silence] Tomorrow's supposed to be like full Sun. Anyway. I know and ripple fire pole works it's crazy so we tried another reset because then then if I can at least get my tell us on class a don't download it quickly I'm sure all I'm trying to do is try to keep up this summer. But no, it's only summer. Do you want to start planting? Let's go on to the next one. You're doing just. I don't even deal for that one anymore. Then on care. You're stupid. You're too stupid. I'll do a reset here. Yeah, that was my whole music putting you to sleep. Let's see what happens. Oh, so do you know I should do like a tiny tiny lower body. But you're just making cookies. [silence] it's right there just go to white don't know what i'm gonna do next i'm gonna wire the modem right directly to the TV and see what happens. Liam, help me out here because we're going to test something. Going to the wire that goes directly to the TV, we're going to put directly into the modem. What now is saying wait. No, now it's flashing, now it's red. Go. Let's see, which one of these goes to the TV? I need to know this. Wait. [silence] [silence] No to whom. please nice nice nice nice okay okay okay Okay. Talk number one. I switched to number two. I just want to keep that in my head. Switch number one to Z. I really think... [silence] me man. I'm doing, I'm sorry, but it's the internet. I'm sorry. You don't understand. Number two in there. Don't I? Number two. I I clearly have these all lead for that reason. Try it now, let's try something else. Let's do the reset if we can get internet to the TV directly. Oh, yeah, how you going? I'm doing I'm having with my internet so both the hard wired and the nodes. So hold on one second. I'll just try one more quick thing. So I called Charter Spectrum, which is our internet, and they remotely like claim they checked everything and there's nothing wrong with the service. But if I I have one cable that's hard wired directly to their modem and I don't I still don't think I'm getting good.
01:00
Speaker 2
Thank you for calling Lincsis, this is curly, I'll have me help you. Thank you for calling. I am, I'm good too. How about you? Okay. Okay. Yes. Yes. Okay. Okay. Okay.
29:00
Speaker 1
Wait two more seconds. I'm trying one more thing. Like it's. I just rerouted their modem again and I have a wire, like I said, directly to it to a device. And I if I don't if it says I can't get on, then they got to get something. I think it's them charter. So it just it's almost done. What? What was that? Yeah. The modem, yeah. Right. All right. So let me, let me actually troubleshoot because I'm going to. I have one wire that goes to my TV, but it does go through a wall and I'm going to go get a another wire that goes to my computer. And just a small short run out. And then if Yeah, cuz I still they told me it was it was the Linksys stuff, but I've been doing a lot of troubleshooting while I was on hold.
30:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Yes, it's the modem, sir. Mhm. It's the modem. Yes, if your device, if connected straight to the modem and there's no internet, then that could be an issue with the modem or with the line. Yes. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 1
And I'm just not sure I'm cured. But it's let's see. I think the modem is now done booting. So let me check. Let's retry. All right, so actually I did Now it is Now it is saying that it Let me just hook up the modem do now, the Linksys uh routers I mean. So Basically the TV and it just it did just connect. I decided to connect it directly, but I was rebooting it. So it's rebooted and I just directly connected to the TV and it did say it connected. All right, so now what do you wanna do the next step for the um
31:00
Speaker 2
So, um I would suggest, sir, it should be linked. OK. before we, uh, like, proceed right now, sir, your laptop is connected right now to the modem. OK. Oh, yeah.
31:00
Speaker 1
Let me see if I can make sure I keep. Yep, just give me one second. I'll get that for you. All right. Yeah, so it's working now. That's working. So the serial number is 58. W 1 0 M is in Mary. Two, A is an apple. D is in David. 1 3 5 7. 6. Yep.
32:00
Speaker 2
Okay. May I know first um what's the model number and serial number of your linksys device, Sir? [silence] Okay, let me check if I got it correctly. That is um 58W for William 10M for Mary ... 2 and then A for Apple D for David 1
32:00
Speaker 1
Yeah that's right. Yep model number is uh uh mx 620. Uh three so like a the main one and then two addition two uh so that's three yeah. Sure it's uh 978 590 1037. Yep Thomas Mulroy. MULROY. T-M-U-L-R-O-Y-76@hotmail.com.
33:00
Speaker 2
13576. How about the model number? Okay, great. And how many notes do you have sir? Okay. Three notes. And can I have also your phone number to create a record? Mm-hmm. Okay. And how about your first name and last name? Okay, and email address? Okay, thank you.
33:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's correct. Yeah. Yeah, like now I just hooked it up directly to the TV. It's it's working. Yeah. Yeah. I'll go get. Yeah, just coming. Yeah, let me just go double-check. I'll just got to grab my laptop right here. If I have it on. Actually, I don't have an internet cord. I can't do that. None of the none of our laptops ethernet cords. But I I'm able to connect it to the TV and it does it did connect.
34:00
Speaker 2
All right. So again, sir, as of the moment, your laptop is connected straight to the model, right? And is the internet working fine? How about computer, sir? Can we, um, like, test it with the computer? Because we need... um, your laptop, is it a Windows laptop? Like Windows 11 or is it MAG? Okay.
34:00
Speaker 1
I mean, I can go back to my, you know, while while you're looking at, do a little bit, I'm going to. reset up my wiring the way it was. And see if uh, see what it does. Because the TV is always hardwired. It's just that it goes through the node first, and then it goes to a switch that goes to like two other possible ethernet connections. Yeah. That's correct.
35:00
Speaker 2
okay. Oh, wow. Hmm. Okay. So you mean to say the node, the child node is wired to a switch.
35:00
Speaker 1
So in other words, the node brings any internet and then you can send one ethernet cord out. I can -- there's only one cord that it ends up going, so I can connect the node directly to the TV. But I mean, I don't -- I doubt it's the switch though. So, let me let me let's go back to how we had it. I'm gonna reset the node and let's see what it does because right now it's saying there is internet. Yeah, right now it's red, but I have to uh, I have to do -- just give me one second. I wanna --
36:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Do you still have any questions? Yes sir, you can do that one. And what is the color of the lights of your no surrender?
36:00
Speaker 1
Ram, what do you stream on? I said, um, I said, hold on, let me just go settings, man. Twitch, uh, uh, Twitch, um, can you see, thank you. All right, I'm going to reset the uh little node, okay? And then uh Yeah. Yeah, that's correct. Well, I didn't, I just unplugged it. And then um, what I'm gonna [silence]
37:00
Speaker 2
Um, this way, sir, until, like, um, wait for, like, a minute or two. Wait until the light turns solid, okay, before you do the reset. Um, right now, one node is connected directly to the charter modem, right? And what is the light on that node right now? Hmm. [silence]
38:00
Speaker 1
Sure. I only have the one hardwired line that I really actually use. The rest of the house is all in wireless. So I'm going to take that hardwired line just to rule out the switch. I don't - I don't know why the switch would be an issue because the - the - Why would the nodes fail if the - If if if something's going on with the - one of the outlets going to a a direct line. Okay. Do you think it's been enough time? I'm going to reset it, okay? Because I already - I have it on plugged but I'll plug it back in now.
39:00
Speaker 2
Uh-huh. So there's a switch that this means sure from the modem, there's a switch then from the switch to the main node or the parent node.
39:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah, I have, yep. I do have that. Do you want me to leave the direct line unplugged? The node. Yeah. My parent node. No, I know. But the, do you know how there's a there's a direct line, it comes out of the parent node. Do you want me to keep that unplugged, or can I plug that in? All right. All right. Yeah. Thank you.
40:00
Speaker 2
Yes, please plug it back. So, let me just verify the connection right now. So, make sure it's modem going to the main node, the parent node. Right. Mm-hmm. This please plug in the node, um the router. Turn it on. No, it should be connected, sir, from the modem to the um one of the um node that we call it as a parent node, right? Yes. Yeah, just keep it unplugged. So just the modem and the parent node. Whoever wanted to give a 5 year warranty. Buy it and click the link in the description.
40:00
Speaker 1
Wi-Fi, when I tell you, if you're ready? What? Can you tell me if you can get on Wi-Fi on your phone? Yes. Not yet, but I'll tell you when. Yeah. Does it blink blue? Because it's resetting? Yep. Yeah. All right. So, are just blink white once and now it's solid red? Okay. Yeah.
41:00
Speaker 2
But no, what color is that? Okay, let's just wait for that, like after you turn it on, let's wait for like a minute or two, or could be three minutes to fully boot up. Okay, it's just wait, probably it's still booting up.
41:00
Speaker 1
that's so red. just turn it off at the bottom. all right. yeah, but it's off. but not unplug. no, you said do unplug it or press the power button? all right, I think it's on the front here.
43:00
Speaker 2
Okay, red. Okay, how about this, turn off your, Linksys router, turn it off, um, turn it off again, yes. And then turn off your, um, yes, sir, you can just use the power switch. And then, turn off then the, um, modem, the one from Charter, turn it off as well. Um, yes, sir, just unplug. Um, you can, if there's a power button, you can just press the power button on the modem. If there's no power cord, um, just, um, unplug the power.
43:00
Speaker 1
So it's saying reset, and I assume I hold that down, or something? All right, so just so then unplug it. All right, so it's unplugged. [silence] Yep. [silence]
44:00
Speaker 2
No, no, no, no, do not press and reset, sorry. reset your device. So just if there's no power again power button, just unplug the power cord. Yes. we'll wait for like a minute. we turn on the modem first after a minute once the modem is on, we'll wait until all the lights will be solid on the modem and that's the time that we're going to turn on the uh parent node
44:00
Speaker 1
All right, so it's been a minute. Really another five times seconds ago. Yeah,
45:00
Speaker 2
Okay, turn on your modem first. okay, modem, is it ready? all the lights are solid okay just wait and keep waiting ok just wait [silence] [silence]
45:00
Speaker 1
All right, so, I'm going to turn it on blue. I'm going to turn on the node. Yep. So, that's blue right now. Oh, fuck. Thank you.
48:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, turn into water. This should, again, that will take a minute or two. [silence]
48:00
Speaker 1
That's a monster. What does the rocket. Here she is. The government wants to shut it down. See. Uh, see, I mean, it went through, it blinked white for a bit, but now it's just all 1, red. yeah. bye. all right, so yeah, i mean, now it's just one solid white.
49:00
Speaker 2
is it still in red? Let's wait for another minute, sir, to wait. Maybe it's still communicating to your modem. [silence]
50:00
Speaker 1
um, I don't know if the hard wire connection has anything to do with it, but I'll leave that all disconnected for now. Right now it's just the modem, the hard wire that comes out of that and goes to the parent node.
51:00
Speaker 2
Good it's now communicating to your modem. Can you check your Wi-Fi connection If online?
51:00
Speaker 1
and then, I'm going to, yeah, I'm, I'm going to the, uh, on the TV right now. I'm going to go to, um, settings and, well, I'm, yeah, so I'm going to change it because I always had the TV hardwired to the, uh, to the node, but I'm going to change it to, um, to wireless right now. So, I go to wireless. Yeah, it's three. That TV's like four feet from it. It just, so it's just connected. But it's just connected. It's fine. So, then Leah, can you try to pull stream something on the TV? Yeah. Right. So, I mean, I'm, do you think the, uh, by using the wired connection that comes out of the back of it, has anything to do with this, or? Okay.
52:00
Speaker 2
Mhm. And it's still white, correct? Mhm. The TV, sir, where the TV where is it connected? Mhm. OK. Turn on the node first, sir, so that it will oh, how far is it from the area you know? well, OK.
52:00
Speaker 1
all right all right first I mean so what like it's saying white right now but this this is not uh like I get it to work but then it by doing all these resets and then it it it doesn't work after like sometimes it can be five minutes sometimes it can be 30 minutes yeah I mean while it's not turning red right now it's staying white we're streaming I mean what do you want me do you want me to call you I I just know saying like I'm trying to figure out what we just rolled out because I again I have the I don't have the
53:00
Speaker 2
Only the TV that will have, problem connecting or that includes your other devices. uh, And then it turns red again, the light on the parent node. mm-hmm. [silence]
53:00
Speaker 1
Hard wire coming out of the back of the node right now, going to a little splitter, so I have nothing hard wired to it. But you think there's, that's not an issue? What you're saying that that's not what's causing us to do this? No, I'm connecting that between the parent node and a hard. I wanted it hard wired to the TV. It's like four feet. but I I think the reason behind that is because I thought that I would get direct internet service to it, because I, when the kids were using.
54:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. no, sir. As long as there is a direct connection from your modem to the parent node, but that switch that you're using is you're connecting that between the parent node and the child node. Okay, but how far is the TV from the parent note, sir? Okay. [silence]
54:00
Speaker 1
like a lot of wired, uh, wireless devices then I thought if I had the TV hardwired to this whole thing, it would always get, uh, um, priority and everything. I know I can go on the app and set it for priority too, but I just, but my question to you is, are we sure we solved this? Because if you're saying that no way using the hardwired option to a splitter that then goes to the TV is causing these interruptions, I expect there to be interruptions then. Yeah, I can do that. Yes. Yeah, well, no, I I have
55:00
Speaker 2
you may try to like um I'm not really sure if that would be the case. You may try to like how about direct connection of the TV to the parent node without the switch since it's just um like it's just like four feet away right? It's not that far.
55:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's all right. All right. So I'm going to do that with you now on the phone. All right. Yeah, because we're troubleshooting and stuff. All right, so I'm going to shut the wireless off.
56:00
Speaker 2
[silence] There's a possibility, sir. But we would um suggest if to like isolate the problem, like remove the switch, just wire the the TV directly to the router. Mhm. to the parent node without the switch to isolate the problem. Mhm. Yes, you may try, but um while the TV is wired, turn this street off, the wireless part of the TV so that the TV will only have like focus onto one connection.
56:00
Speaker 1
of wireless. All right, I just turned off the Wi-Fi from the TV. Yeah, I'm at the door, keep your elbow. If you want to you know. Guys, keep it down right now, because I'm working on. Joey has a cookie. That's not what I said. Joey has a gaming cookie. Head in the hole. Do you know, I'll be everything. No, no, you're welcome. I'm not. All right.
57:00
Speaker 2
Definitely and yeah, you start receiving updates. Can you, like, basically, what's going on in the network, what's the price right now? We will check the description box below. We don't have what we have. It would really. Yeah. Okay, so much better. First, try to reconnect and probably you can check in there. Fighting Okay. Um no, the switch will not end relate the Wi-Fi. So, that means when you lost internet connection, everything like including the Wi-Fi, correct?
59:00
Speaker 1
yeah like we I would lose the hardwire TV and I would lose I would lose all the Wi-Fi yeah the one that connects to the from the modem to the router yeah it's yellow it's yellow yeah this is because yeah I mean I've wait I'm sorry what are you what what are you trying when the the modem never loses any colors it always stays blue it goes red all the time yeah it goes right through red and I'm never standing in front of it when it does but all I knew it was white then it goes straight to red so I I don't know if it's going through other colors
60:00
Speaker 2
So have you observed what the color of the light on the parent node is when the connection drops? Yes. Yes. When the internet drops. Um, on the parent node? It goes to a solid red. Okay. But that's,
60:00
Speaker 1
Right. So one of the things I did try is I tried to I did replace the cord. I had like a brand new yellow cord that never got used. So the one that was being used, at one point I switched that and that didn't fix it. I was hopeful it would, but then it continued to be erratic.
61:00
Speaker 2
because if um the light on the para-innod turns to red that's an indication that there's no communication between the modem and the um internet I'm sorry between the modem and the para-innod like there's no internet connection received from the modem Mm-hm. Okay. Mm-hm. But right now um you just change the cable to um um new cable. Mm-Hm.
61:00
Speaker 1
the one that we've been using today, the one that goes in the modem, as the router, is is like, it just, it just got installed, like, like, like, two or three days ago. Like, I, I believe it's the, one that comes with the, Linksys uh routers. Yeah, it's the yellow ones. Yeah. Yeah, I, I mean, that's, that's, yeah, that's, that's, that's, what I'll do if you want, if you, if you're, kind of coming to a dead, a dead end with this one, the next time this happens, I'll, actually, so he just said, it cut off now, so, hold on, see this is what we got, like five minutes, or, so
62:00
Speaker 2
Yes Gentry better. Were you able to like observe sir if like since you've mentioned that sometimes the connection drop offs within like after five minutes or it could be 30 minutes. Have you like tried um connecting um a device like a possible a computer straight to the modem and observe within and
62:00
Speaker 1
All right. So now. But it's still white, though. So we don't know if it's lagging or if it's cutting off. So right now, he's lagging and it's just circling, but so far the node's still white. And so and the modem is uh has its two blue lights on. Well, the TV is circling. Yeah, yeah, that's right. My phone right now. Oh, okay. Uh-huh. All right, now it came back. Network cable connected. Yeah, I mean I had no problems on the live. Yep, so that's Joe say okay up there.
63:00
Speaker 2
And the TV, it's um, it's like searching? How about on your computer sir? Or on your phone or any other wireless device? [silence]
63:00
Speaker 1
So right now, it's wired, it's fine, wire, and the wireless is fine. Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, I mean, everything's still working now. Like I said, I think it started spinning, but maybe that was just a lag situation. So let me just do what you're saying, like if the node goes out again, I will, I will go direct from from the TV. Yeah, it's quiet. Hold on.
66:00
Speaker 2
it's on and it's it's still working. Hmm. Direct to the modem and then observe like maybe
66:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Yeah, I mean, but I think at this point, unless you were certain that, I don't know, maybe it's something going on with the little switch thing that I have. But what I'll do is, um, the next time it happens, I will plug something directly into the modem instead of the router and see if I get internet. No, no, because it's that then the the routers just go red on me and you can't you cannot it says, I can connect to the Wi-Fi, it says connect to the Wi-Fi. There's no internet. That's what it always tells me. So it goes red and um, like I said, you know, we might be in the middle of doing something that's how we know that we've lost internet connection.
67:00
Speaker 2
like an hour just to like isolate the problem. uh-huh. uh-huh. Yes. And observe if how long, um, if there is like a disconnection. Okay? Or there's like buffering. uh-huh. uh-huh. uh-huh. uh-huh.
67:00
Speaker 1
And if I go over to the modem, the modem still just says blue, everything's good, I talk to Charter, they're like we're showing absolutely no disruptions, um, and then, again, if we try to, um, connect wirelessly, it does connect, but it just says there's no internet. Like my phone will say connected, but no internet, right, yes
68:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Yes. Yeah. Because even though there's no internet connection, the Linksys will still like broadcast the wi-fi signal. But it's just that there is no internet. Okay? But um... If you encounter problems against your like, you may do time on how often it um... it drops its connection. If it happens um... like every 20 minutes. If it happens like an hour. Okay? And then um... It was an internet connection.Sure. What uh... Troubleshooting.Sure. You've done. Like, you disconnected the devices and reset the router. Or... [silence]
68:00
Speaker 1
I've done everything where I, I've done everything where I re-... yeah, I've done everything where I re-... I do everything where I reset, I reset the routers, try to connect up. I have had times where it's reconnected, then I reset, then I have times where I try to reset it and it doesn't connect. Then I re- connect, or I uh, I reset the um modem. Then once I know that's up and running, I reset the uh parent node or the, the router and then, and everything works again. I've done, I've done so many things. So I- No, I've never, I've never once held any of the reset buttons down. The only thing is on um just now when you had me, said press the, there was a front button on the modem, but I didn't hold that down when you just, you can
69:00
Speaker 2
Like, what do you mean, reset, like you press the reset button, or you just turn off the devices? Mhm.
69:00
Speaker 1
Click it once and it says reset. And, because I know a lot of times with these devices if you press and hold them it's like factory reset them. So the only thing I ever do is just unplug them, wait a minute and then plug them back in and let them uh power, power back up. That's the only thing I've ever done. Alright. Yeah, what it's feeling? Alright. Yeah, okay. Alright, so yeah, I'll do that. I'll um, um, next time it happens, I'll.
70:00
Speaker 2
yes. um, right? Soci, just for like a um, like recommendation, this in any case, um, you still encounter this problem, Okay? Um, we would, I, could recommend to, like, connect a device straight to the modem and observe um, and observe, um, yes, if it's if there's a drop uh if it's there's an intermittent uh or dropping of uh, connection. Okay? mm-hmm.
70:00
Speaker 1
I'll go right to the modem. Cuz I think at this point, we're kinda hitting unless it's been solved by some uh connection issue with the uh splitter or whatnot, I dunno, but. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Sounds good. All right. I appreciate your help. Thank you so much. Uh Okay. Okay. All right. Take care. Thank you for your help today. Uh [silence]
71:00
Speaker 2
mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm. And then just give us once you observe it, sir. Just give us a feedback or if you still need assistance on your router, just give us a call, okay? Everything that we did right now is I document it, okay? And you can just use your phone number as your ticket number. We can pull up your record using your email address or your phone number, okay? Mm-hmm, you're welcome, sir. You may also check our website thesupport.linksys.com, okay? So thank you for calling Lynsser. This is Scott. Bye for now, okay.
71:00
Speaker 1
Bye bye. Right. All right, thanks. Bye.
72:00
