This is Linksys Technical Support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a Linksys specialist. Hello? Hello this is Mark from the Linksys Level 2 Tech team. Is this still the best time to call you back? Oh. Yeah, well, from what I understand, you're trying to set up this router, but you're unable to do so. And that's why it was escalated to the Level 2 team. Is the router? Go ahead.

Hello. Hey, Mark. Yeah, I got your message. I'm just getting ready to leave. I've had something come up today. I'm not going to be able to work on the computer to try to solve the problem today. Yeah, we went through, well, Mark, we, the, the, the first technician I worked with on Friday, because that was the first time I had tried to set this up. We got it out of the box and, you know, put it in the. and we spent over two hours. I mean, he had me coding, I had to get my laptop out so we could connect directly to the the router and bypass the internet. Uh, it just, it, it, we went through so many different things and nothing worked. And I'll be honest with you, this is like my fifth router from. I've, I love the brand. But, you know, I've never had any problems before. It's always been open the box, put it in the system, you know, put my, uh, network name in, put my network password in, and go to work. I've never had any issues like this. And I'm, I'm really starting to wonder if perhaps this router was, a defect from the factory that got out. that this, this, this wasn't just something anomalous. this, this was just a bad router to begin with, and I just happened to be the person who bought it. does that make any sense?
00:00
Speaker 1
well, it could be, but I cannot be sure. I think that's pretty. OK. Well, I think yeah, well, based on the steps you did with the router, it's pretty much responding the way it should be, but it just can't detect internet from your internet service provider. What's the what's the model number of your modems? or was that asked before? I'm sorry, what was that? Against your surfboard, the, surfboard S82? Okay. How many...[silence]
02:00
Speaker 2
82... SB 8-200. Uh, 8,200. SB 8-200. And, see, I have a new modem. I was, I was gonna say, I was, I was going to put the router in first, then I was going to put a new modem in, because my level of internet from Xfinity is a one gigabyte service. But now, I did, I put my old router back in the system when all of this happened on Friday. And I checked the programming on it. I'm still at a one gigabyte connection. But when I type in 192.1.168.1.1, I can take just a few seconds for it to initialize. But how that is to the signal strength? [silence] And if I try to 192.1.168.1., I get nothing.
03:00
Speaker 1
Now, as I search online for this modem, has two ethernet ports, this aris sv 8200, are you using both ports? [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
Checked on that, that moment ago, because I saw, you had called earlier before I got back in. And, I did a speed test and with the old router in the system with the old modem in the system, I'm getting 938.1 Mbps upload or download and I'm getting 41.45 Mbps download. So, I mean, you know, the system isn't really slower. I just wanted to bring everything up to a newer level because of the modem that's in the system, and the old Linksys router are about five years old. No, I'm just using one. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
Is the Linksys router still or connected to this modem at the moment?
05:00
Speaker 2
You talking about the, the one that I've got the problem with? [silence] Absolutely, absolutely not. It's back in the box. The the modem or the router that I'm running now is my old linksys. and I'm getting the speeds that I told you with that with that modem. Yeah, my old router is, is what I'm running now. The new new modem or router is in the box.
05:00
Speaker 1
Well most many people [silence] This is a stranger to further troubleshoot the router. [silence] Okay. Al, if that is okay, sir. We'll call you again next week. All right. How about I provide a level two hotline as well, just in case. Sure. I'll send it through email instead. Oh. All right. Well, uh, I guess we'll call again next week and continue troubleshooting. All right, it will come, sure.
06:00
Speaker 2
