[silence] Okay it's connected the TV is connected but I can you play something from the TV ma'am and then just leave it like that let's observe the connection from the TV then okay since TV is one of the devices that are affected um on this problem so play something from the TV that uh needs the Wi-Fi connection and observe it [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Yes. [silence] Everything needs the Wi-Fi. The T the whole TV is Wi-Fi. I don't have so yeah, I'm on a station. I mean, I'm on but just oh wait. No, now yep. Well it started spinning again but it's but it stayed. Okay.
14:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so the TV is connected to your Linksys Wi-Fi, right? Okay, try to play something from the TV that uh needs uh a Wi-Fi connection like something maybe a YouTube. Or You know, anything that needs a Wi-Fi. Okay. Okay, uh just uh just leave it like that. I'm sorry. Okay. Okay, so yeah, I'll uh just observe it and see if you can um if it shows some error message uh coming from the TV.
14:00
Speaker 1
It's on the second floor, almost directly above. It's at the same end of the unit. Uh yes, it's on the second floor. Um only the computer if I bring it up there or the phone.
15:00
Speaker 2
uh by the way ma'am. how far is your uh main router from these devices? uh how about the main router? okay. the main router is on the second floor, and this and then the TV is just below it. okay. but when you are on the second floor, what are the devices that are on the second floor? miss Carol.
15:00
Speaker 1
Team Mobile says the router has to be on the second floor in a window. That's their instructions. In fact, they want me to move it to a side of the house that I don't have. Yes. It's in a north facing window. They want me to put it in an east facing window, but I'm in a condo and I don't actually have an east facing window. So it's the second best place I can put it. Yeah. No. The T-Mobile gateway is on the north side on the second floor in a window. They insist it has to be in a window. But it was like this for two years without a problem. They have been there for two years without a problem.
16:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so the computer... Okay, and Okay, I get that one, but, uh, the gateway from T-Mobile, which, uh, where is it located? Yeah, I get that one. So, Okay, so the T-Mobile, uh, um, gateway is on the east side. And is it on the first floor, or, or on the second floor? I mean, yeah. Oh. Okay, so,
16:00
Speaker 1
Problem? I'm sorry, say again? Oh yeah, you did. I had to call T-Mobile this afternoon because the phone all of a sudden the text just disappeared. But they just checked a bunch of stuff. They didn't, I mean, there's no - there's no physical T-Mobile presence, so they just tell you stuff on the first floor. [silence]
17:00
Speaker 2
and you don't um encounter any problem at all. And you did not encounter any problem at all. [silence] Okay. [silence] And uh since you have two routers, so the first router that is connected directly to the T-Mobile is also on the second floor. So where is the other Lynx router located? [silence] Okay. On the first floor. And how far is this um router?
17:00
Speaker 1
maybe maybe 10 ft the TV's holding it's it is on now not right now no no. Okay. All right. So the computer yeah the linksys came up it's connected. I have never actually done that I don't want to do that on the TV. Um type in where. Oh, I'm sorry. Um FASF. Okay. Um Okay. it settled at 52.
18:00
Speaker 2
Can you try to run a speed test from your Chromebook? [silence] Um, just open a, a browser and then type in fast.com. [silence] On the, again, on the URL bar, type in fast.com. Yeah, yes, F-A-S-T dot com.
19:00
Speaker 1
It started higher, but it's now at 52. much is it? It's 90 for the Wi-Fi and a phone. It's $90 for the Wi-Fi and a phone. I don't think they specify. It's just Wi-Fi connection. Yeah, it's because it's a VoIP. Um, they don't designate speed. I I know Comcast does, but T-Mobile does not.
20:00
Speaker 2
Okay, 52 Mbps. But how much is your exact subscription from T-Mobile? [silence] I'm sorry? It's $90 for like is it good for three one gigabyte or just for how many Mbps? I'm so sorry, Miss Carl, your line is really cutting in and out.
20:00
Speaker 1
it's not variable, uh, by speed. Yeah, probably. I mean, there was an error this afternoon. I had to call them. They had to check on a bunch of stuff. And the guy said, he ran a speed test on the gateway, said it started in the 30s, ended in the 100s. [silence]
21:00
Speaker 2
Oh. Oh, okay. So your, um, I mean, your internet will depend on how you consume it. It's just something like that. Anyway. Okay. [silence] Okay, so, uh, yeah, this is actually a, um, uh, so you're getting a right, um, you know, [silence] I mean, you're getting an exact speed. If that is exactly also what the T-Mobile people is getting. If they're only getting 100 Mbps. So the 52 Mbps is exactly also some right internet speed for the Chromebook.
21:00
Speaker 1
uh, shoot. Yeah, I can try Colin's cell phone. It's four one three 230 4545. No, 2,
