Speaker 1
Yes. I've been using it for about a year. Um, uh, yeah, E8450. That's right. Uh, I've been using it, um I've said some. There's been some peculiarities that I haven't necessarily followed up, uh like I put in DHCP reservations for some device and then it's not respected sometimes. But, um this is the first time I've had the problem that I just can't get to the control panel at all. I did try, um, shutting it off and rebooting it.
06:00
Speaker 2
Hi sir Based on the information I have here what you're using sir is an E 8450 that's the model number and sir Maino how long have you been using this device?
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Sorry, what is the warranty period? Okay, so we're probably just a little bit beyond it. Okay. Does that leave me with any options? [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
I see, yes, sir. Okay, so based on what I have here, sir, it shows that, yeah, you're using an E548450, and it shows here, sir, that this is already an out of warranty unit. [silence] For the warranty of this unit, sir, it's only one year, and beyond that, Okay. [silence] You can still try to do troubleshooting for this one, sir, but let me just inform you that this unit, sir, this is already using a very old firmware, and we don't have any, uh, we don't have anymore any updates for the firmware of this unit. So any problem that will...
07:00
Speaker 1
um, well, let me ask you this. I mean, if I would if I would want to buy a new unit, um, do you can you recommend a model that would have um, everything up to date? I'm sorry, say it again. I didn't understand.
08:00
Speaker 2
you'll encounter share on this unit that might be because of of an outdated firmware. [silence] So for recommendations, sure. We do have a lot of devices right now like the Wi-Fi 6E and the Wi-Fi 7. Those are the newest device we have here and uh there uh also that unit there is way more better or than this one that you're currently using right now. This is still a Wi-Fi 5. Yes, sir. This is still a Wi-Fi 5.
08:00
Speaker 1
So the next level beyond five is 60 and seven. Is that what you're saying? Okay. All right. I'm not sure what I want to do. Give me a sec. So as far as this unit is concerned, I mean, the only thing I could think of that I haven't uh tried yet is to hit the factory reset and try to set it up again, but I'm hesitant to do that. Um, is there a?
09:00
Speaker 2
Wi-Fi 5 routers here and the feature of this unit is no longer capable for for devices that are updated especially if you update your modem [silence] yes we still have Wi-Fi 6 and the Wi-Fi 6 C and then Wi-Fi 7 [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
Anything else that you can suggest?
10:00
Speaker 2
If when it comes to user interfacer that you can't log in the only troubleshooting is θ reset. θ. Okay. Sir, since this is already an out of warranty device, sir. Yeah, and I believe you're already aware that we can no longer provide free assistance for out of warranty device. What I can do, sir, is send you the guide on how you can get through the user interface of this unit or send you θ guide, sir, on how you can uh reset and reconfigure uh this this node. Yes, yes sir. I can send you the user guide, sir. It's
