Speaker 1
Nothing is working and it's like my whole system's gone out. Yes. Well, it's like every day some of them go offline and then they just none of them will come back on. I can't reset it. I can't cut it off. I can't unplug it. I can't do anything to make it come back on and reboot to get me a blue light again. My Starlink is working, but my first box going from my Starlink that's hardwired into my Starlink does not work. [silence]
01:00
Speaker 2
OK. So, you've purchased a new mesh devices, I mean, new mesh device and you've added it to your system and right now nothing's working. Right now, your existing router, your existing mesh router, is it working or?
01:00
Speaker 1
That make sense? Yeah, my router in Starlink, I, I can connect directly to Starlink, yes. But I have a, I've always had a system that went outside of the Starlink. So my Linksys connected to my Starlink and it sent out a family Wi-Fi and then it had a guest Wi-Fi as well. And that's what everybody used. Nobody ever logged into Starlink. Correct. Okay, the the new one. Uh, let me give you the new one first, I was taking a picture of it. 2-0-1-2-7-6.
02:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So With with just your star link. Mm. Okay. And that's the one off one. Oh, I see. So with Starlink, you're able to go online, but with lynx sys, everything else is not working. Can I have the model number in the serial number of your existing Lynx council and your new mesh router, please? okay. All right. So that's 2 0 J for John, 2 0 M like Mary, 35C for Charlie, 0 9 1 2, 0 9 1 9 6. okay. B is in boy. All right. okay. So, uh, yes, this is a W H W03. and right. So you've uh... Yeah, sure.
02:00
Speaker 1
20j20m31a as in Apple. one five. Oh gosh, I'm gonna zoom in on this, I can't see anything. Let me see what those numbers are. one five. Le. believe that's 920. Yes, 920. it's been a couple years now. I've had it in the house for a while and everything was working great on it um until just recently
04:00
Speaker 2
<u>Can I have it please?</u> [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
George Sheppard. gmail.com. She T. as in tomato R as in R. as in Romeo, I. is in Indy G. P. as in Peter. p. is in Peter. SHE p, HG email.com.
05:00
Speaker 2
OK. Just give me one minute. OK. Let me just create a record,
05:00
Speaker 1
I'm sure, I'm sure I just yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
06:00
Speaker 2
okay. The original router, it shows that the serial number is out of warranty. Okay. Now, let me just set your expectation. Let me just set your expectation that for out of warranty devices, it's no longer covered for free technical support. Okay. Now, since you're newer routers, I believe these routers have the same models, we can set up your newer devices, I mean, the newly purchased devices as your main router. Okay. Because since it's new, it has, it's still covered for free technical support. We can set up your new system, but the old router's actually, um, that is no longer covered for free technical support. So, there will be a fee for the service. But, uh, if you want to, um, yeah, we can set up the, the
06:00
Speaker 1
I'm on with that. I just gotta get the first one has got to get going, that'll get the rest of them going. You know what I mean? Yeah, I've I'm comfortable. I'm comfortable setting up the child nodes, but I can't get the first box to light to come off of red. Um, now I would like to set up a, um, a different box than the one I gave you as my main one, but it's one of the, the three that came in the box. See something I got a pack of three of them. So I'd like to set up a different. So yes, I can do that. I didn't register the other two.
07:00
Speaker 2
Show me the new system first and I'd be able to walk you through the process for that. Then, it's going to be the same process if you're going to add the child nodes. So you can actually do it on your own for the older devices. Okay. All right. Yes, they understand. Mm-hmm. Yes.
07:00
Speaker 1
So I need to go online and register those two as well. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I've done that. Okay. All right.
08:00
Speaker 2
you may do it later sir yes so okay so now um yeah so would you like to set up the your your new system i mean the newer devices as your new router okay all right we need we need to plug them in so we need to plug one of your uh nodes since it's a set of three so just use one as a parent node we need to plug it into your starlink box so just make sure that you have it plugged in to the internet port or the the one on top of the reset the first port we'll just have to use the first port okay and uh kindly gather all the nodes from the uh starlink box thank you so what we need to do is um put the parent node on your floor I'll be your remote hand so we can go ahead and I will give you the instruction so I will ask you to aimed it to the power button on your on your uh round so uh you could see the driver there so aim reduce and power button of the switch fair sir fair press it for five seconds uh we need to uh pair your software first so yeah press on the uh button and let it go on five seconds one two three four five. and the three nodes are at the same place. If it's ready, okay? [silence] What 81605-78? Okay. [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
In certain parts of my house, I lose signal for some reason. [silence] I got five of these boxes. I mean, I have six of these boxes. Then I have a, I'm trying to connect. I've got Geek Squad going to come and try to connect all that sometime this week.
10:00
Speaker 2
So all in all, you have how many lengths of vise sir?[silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
Big system on to them. And then I've got another Linksys box. That's an older model that's not as good as these, I guess. That I'm going to try to put on that into that bridge system for a shop I've got. Yes. Wireless routers you mean? Okay, I'll have six of these black boxes and one white box that I just bought from Amazon as a refurbished model. Yes. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
at home how many wireless devices you have in total in that location Yes, wireless routers. so seven in total. Yeah, I'm still here. I'm just waiting, sir. So all of your devices are now plugged in, the new ones? [silence] Yeah, I'm still here.
11:00
Speaker 1
seeing you. Fantastic. OK. All right. Everything is plugged in now.
13:00
Speaker 2
Yes, the other, the new ones, the new three systems. Mm-hmm. Okay. [silence] Okay, so it's blinking red. All right, we'll just wait for the lights to turn solid, okay?
13:00
Speaker 1
Well, the main one's solid, the other two that I've just plugged in are not yet. Solid red, solid red. Mm-hmm. No. Thank you.
16:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so is it solid now? George. Hello? What is the lead indicator on top? What's the clip, uh, what's the color? Solid red. Okay. Did you, um, push the reset button on that new ones? [silence]
16:00
Speaker 1
Mm-hmm. Yeah. I deal with plugging in, like you said. make sure you have it plugged into the other one.
17:00
Speaker 2
or or you you didn't do anything yet Um, okay, so you have this Starlink box connected to the first port. That's the uh that's the one on top of the reset, right?
17:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now it's plugged in on the first port. I need to unplug it and start it over again since I've changed... I was blinking red again. I'll give it a second, I guess. Start. Yeah, I mean, I've got internet. I've been working all day with that because my Linksys box hadn't... You know, I work from my house, so I had to have internet. I've just been using my links directly from my Starlink box. Okay. Okay, it just came on solid blue right now. [silence]
18:00
Speaker 2
Oh, no, it's okay. It's blinking red. Okay, so before you call into sister, George, did you try your Starlink connection? Like, did you connect your computer straight to their box and check if you're online that way? [silence] Okay. [silence] So, the main node right now, the, uh, the one which is connected to Starlink, is it still, uh, is it blinking red or solid red?
18:00
Speaker 1
So I guess the problem could be that I had just my wires. And the main one coming in always need to be on top of the reset. Well, hang on. I'm I'm I apologize. It was blue for a second, it went to solid red now. Uh-huh. They're all solid red. Well, they were solid red just a second ago. Now they're blinking red again. That's weird. I don't know if that reset them or what. Okay, I will. I will.
19:00
Speaker 2
Well, we usually do that, OK? But, yeah, that's how we set it up. But you can always plug it into one of the ports. It's solid red now. What about the child nodes? I don't know. Module number. All right, just let me know if they're they're all solid, OK? So we can perform a five press. Thank you.
19:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, sure. [silence] 25 seconds. All right. [silence] Just pressing now. [silence] \
20:00
Speaker 2
All right. While waiting for the, uh, for the child node lights to stabilize, sir. Can we do a reset on this, uh, on the parent node? Okay, on the main one. Can we press and hold the reset button for, uh, 25 seconds, please? If you, if you go to. Yes, sir. And, if you're on the exact for the. Yeah. Yes, sir. Yeah. It's actually once it's after it says, uh, it, since this is newly purchased, once we
20:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Well, I had already had it hooked into the rest of my I'd already had it hooked up as part of my my system. Everything was working last Thursday, and then for some reason it quit working on me. Um so that's why I didn't know what was going on with it, but everything, yeah, I mean it was purple when I first did it. Um yeah, and so I've I've already hooked it up in the system and everything. No, I'm trying to figure out why all of a sudden my system's going out and I didn't know if it was these new or what? So, all right, that should be long enough, huh? All right, it's
21:00
Speaker 2
we pull it in, you should see there are purple lights. I don't know why it's solid red, but uh yeah, we'll just perform a reset. [silence] Oh, okay. Oh, I thought that you just just purchased this device so [silence] is one. So you have the module number and product I've checked it Yes, you may let go. [silence]
21:00
Speaker 1
blinking now on top, I guess that's a, dark blue or something blinking. Okay. All right, they're resetting now. All right, let's see. All right, they've all just turned solid purple. All right, all right. Press and let go of that five times. Okay, just did it. Kind of blinking light purple now.
22:00
Speaker 2
Okay. That's good. All right. So we will perform a five press on that, on the, on the parrot node. Sir, George, so to do the five press, kindly press the reset button five times. Okay. Just press it one, five times. So, uh, it's like a press release. Yeah, press release, press release, press release. Do it five times. That would be on the parrot node. Thank you.
24:00
Speaker 1
Okay, the child nodes are still solid, but I'll wait on the parent nodes.
25:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Yeah, so it may take time for it to turn solid, so we'll just wait for the parent node and the child nodes to turn solid. [silence] Okay. Thanks. So, I'm wondering if, uh, it's helpful continued. Can I go, uh, tame have them. And how, what's important to him? Um, I I've already responded to that. Um, Andrew? Mhm. Um, yeah. Mhm.
25:00
Speaker 1
Not yet. All right, so parent node is solid blue, the child nodes are solid purple. Well, they've just started blinking now. The child node. Yes. Yeah. [silence]
26:00
Speaker 2
All right, any changes on the lights now, sir? Is it still it's still blinking. 408-832-4200. Okay. Do you have any computer available a laptop or a desktop? Okay. Can we just use it use one of the
26:00
Speaker 1
You got it. When do you need it? Let me see if I can read those. Are you wanting the Mac address right under the serial number or you wanting the one that says Wi-Fi configuration? [silence]
27:00
Speaker 2
of your laptop dev Okay. Now I'll by the way, can we did you take a picture of the Wi-fi settings at the bottom of the air not and we take a picture of it first. So because we need those settings. That would be the parent node. Yeah, you can zoom it in if you. You can zoom it in if the letters are too small. [silence]
27:00
Speaker 1
all right, I've got those, all right, I've got them for the parent no, all right, okay, yes, Bellup set up AFE AFE Okay.
28:00
Speaker 2
The Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi settings, or the network name, the password and the recovery key. We need those settings. Okay, good. Now can we go to your computer because while waiting for the child nodes to establish a connection, we'll just have to personalize the settings, okay? So kindly look for the wireless icon at the bottom right hand corner of your screen and check if you see the network name, the Wi-Fi name on your parent node. What's the, what's the name of the network by the way? Is it Velo setup? It should be the last letters of. Okay, yeah, okay. So it's develop setup AFE. All right, so kindly select that network.
28:00
Speaker 1
actually says it's connected.
29:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Just let me know if it's connected. All right, please check if you're able to go online using that computer. Okay. very good. Now, on the address bar, sir, type in HTTPcolon./.myrouter.local.
29:00
Speaker 1
Why am I getting a warning when I try to access my router settings in a browser? Go to where. Um, is when I continue, I may seam see that. Yes, proceed to my router. It says proceed to my router.local unsafe. Okay. All right, access vela. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 2
That's okay. That's for the, security, something certificate. So just go to advance and then proceed. Do you see advanced option? Okay, click on, continue first and go to advance. All right, and then proceed. Yes, that's correct. Yes, sir.
30:00
Speaker 1
okay [silence] I am [silence] yes [silence] I need to read [silence] you this book [silence] for work [silence] five chapters [silence] I need it read to me I need to put the 2.4 and the five on them? Okay.
31:00
Speaker 2
you may name your 2.4 as, uh, 2.4, I mean, your name and then 2.4. Then same goes with the 5 gigahertz and for the watch. Yes. Yeah. Um, what I usually, uh, advise my, uh, I mean our customers to do is to separate the bands because not all wireless devices can, uh, connect to the two point, I mean, to the 5 gigahertz network. Um, some will not support, or some is not compatible with the 5 gigahertz band, especially those, uh, um, devices like, uh, uh, thermostat, um, some ring cameras do not support 5 gigahertz. So, if you name them.
32:00
Speaker 1
Can I do both the 5 gigs the same name? Okay, but just change the 2.4 to something else? Okay. And this this password that I've got in here, I need to leave it like it is? What I need to think? It's the one that I put in to log in, that was on the bottom of my router. Leave that the same? Oh, I can do that now? [silence]
33:00
Speaker 2
Uh, with the, all of the band? Uh, they, it might, it may not connect. So you might, uh, encounter some issues there. So that's, why? Yes, you can. That's fine. uh, you're, but you can set up the same Wi-Fi password for all band, right? Which password? well uh, if you want, you can set up another Wi-Fi password. You can use your original password. Yes, please.
33:00
Speaker 1
Now we've noticed that my wife's phone doesn't connect well with our Wi-Fi, but mine does. And so I don't know if that could have had something to do with it. I know it's newer. Hers is like a 16 or 17 iPhone. Mine's an older one. Mine's a 14, I think, and that's why I thought hers would have been the one that would work better, because she has a newer version than mine. And so I don't know why our network would have been not compatible with hers, not compatible with each other. But that's why I'm guessing it's her version not allowing her Wi-Fi to connect to our house and our network.
34:00
Speaker 2
but if it's davantage, like just the same, it will only change one. the. So that's the thing
34:00
Speaker 1
Sure one that would connect, but, anyway. Okay, so I've changed my password on all three. I've renamed the 2.4 and the 5G to separate networks. And I need to, OK. Hit apply. OK, by the way, the two smaller nodes are connected now, they're blue. Now, if I bring my other ones in here, will they automatically pair DO I need to go through the app
35:00
Speaker 2
Okay, you may take notes of the settings first. You may take a picture just for you to have a copy before you click apply. Yes, sir, that is correct. Mm-hmm. They're- they're- they're blue. Okay, good. That's a good thing. That just means it's now paired to your parent node.
35:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. I can do that. Um before I used the app when he add item and I added each one of them to my network. wait. Hang on. It just It just said router not found. You're not connected to your router. If using a wireless connection
36:00
Speaker 2
well, you need to reset them to factory defaults first, yes. So yeah. okay. yes, you can also do it on the lensis page, the configuration right now since you have it open. Mm-hmm. yes since we changed the uh- since we changed the settings you need to reconnect. So just go back to your Wi-Fi icon and look for the new network name. So just uh select the five gigahertz cuz it will give you better connectivity.
36:00
Speaker 1
I dig cameras and my garage door and all that kind of stuff, I probably need to put on a 2.4 gigahertz or do I need to check the manuals on all that stuff? Oh, okay, I see what you're saying now. I see. Okay, I'm back connected now. Uh-huh.
37:00
Speaker 2
Well, if it doesn't if it doesn't detect the 5 gigahertz, then you have no other choice but to connect to the 2.4. Okay. All right. So, uh, yeah, if you want to add your uh child notes or using the uh interface, okay. Um you may go to connectivity. There's a connectivity option and then you go to CA router setup.
37:00
Speaker 1
Okay, perfect. Okay, they are. Um, now, when I hit add wireless child nodes, it kind of grays out for a second, and then it just comes back. It doesn't let me go in and add them. I don't have to do anything special to add them.
38:00
Speaker 2
there's an option for you to add the wireless nodes. Yes. So, it's like, uh, you're using the app. But these configurations that you have, um, the, on the browser, uh, it has the more advanced configuration compared to the apps. The app has, uh, limitations. So, limited options. Mm-hmm. So, right now, can you check the parent node and the child node lights? Are they all solid blue? Okay. Mm-hmm. That's good. Yeah. Um, once it's, uh, once you click on add, wireless child nodes, just wait for the lights to [silence]
38:00
Speaker 1
okay. Okay. Now, can I see the child nodes? Can I see the child nodes in my list now? Okay. All right, I see them. Perfect. And, how do I set up a guess network?
39:00
Speaker 2
i'm just like what we did with the five press it may take the child nodes to establish a connection so once you click on add wireless child nodes you would be able to see the child node lights that should blink. okay it will connect one at a time. so that's just how you add the child nodes. hello okay. Yes you can go to device list to check for the connected devices. okay yes. So to set up there's an option um to name the config okay copy paste config okay copy paste in expression okay okay you pretty much have the same thing you on the, I mean on the left panel for guest networks. So just click on guest access. Just enable it. Okay. So you may also, so you may, once the child nodes are connected, you may relocate them, sure.
39:00
Speaker 1
interface existed this is a lot easier than the app honestly okay really? well that stinks all right what else do I need to know
41:00
Speaker 2
Yes, that's why we advise our customers to use this. Okay, so just to let you know, sir, that the Linksys smart Wi-Fi remote access, they've already discontinued that. So you can no longer access the router settings remotely using the Linksys app. You can still access it locally, though, but not remotely using the uh linksy smart wi-fi account. Yes, sir. They've already discontinued it. Yes. Yeah. Well, actually, that's it. If you want to add the child nodes, you can do the, [silence]
41:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Perfect. Thank you so much. Yes. Yeah. Hang on just a second. Yes. Give me just a second. Here we go. This time, what is that ticket number? Jonah? Perfect. Um, no, no, no. That's it.
42:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Bye press, just like the one we did earlier with a parent node. Okay. Or if you want, you can go to Connectivity and add Wireless Child nodes from there. All right. You're very welcome. You're very welcome, sir. So, let me just give you this ticket number. Please take note in case you need to call us back. Sure. No problem. Yes. Ticket number is LTS. That's Lima, Tango, Sam, 00133483. Okay. So, will there be anything else, Sir George? Okay. Alright. I do hope you're happy. You're very welcome, sir. [silence]
42:00
Speaker 1
Thank you so much. You too. All right. Bye. [silence]
43:00
