Speaker 1
Hello? I'll have to get that. The problem is, the problem is when I go into the room to get that serial number and look it up, I lose cell phone connection. So, if I have to get do I have to get all the serial numbers? Well, it's like a if they're like, can I just see if the if it's the product is still even supported? It's like WHW030. Is it too old?
05:00
Speaker 2
Hello. Okay, so I can hear you now. Can you provide a serial number of the parents node? Okay. One, but for setup processor, you need to moved all the nodes, same room with the modem. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, right. Okay. Why don't, why don't I go get all the serial numbers. I need all the serial numbers for all the Linksys products. Okay. If you want to hold on for a while, I can go and look and see what it's going to be, but I'm going to lose cell phone connection while I do that. Okay.
06:00
Speaker 2
Yes, so one of the nodes you are going to setup as a main router. Yeah. Go ahead.
06:00
Speaker 1
Hello? are you still there? okay the serial number I have is 20J1008743689
08:00
Speaker 2
Yes. I'm still here. Yes, I am. Okay, so let me just confirm. It's 20 J for John Juliet. I guess it's 10 m for Mike. Make sure you double-check. 10 m for Mike.
08:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. I have one zero zero. I have one zero zero, not one zero m. You want me to double check? Yes, that's what I have. Xfinity.
09:00
Speaker 2
I say it's 2, 0, J for Juliet, 101, M for Mike, 8743689. So that's 201J743689, and who is your internet service provider?
09:00
Speaker 1
Unplug it. it's already plugged in, you want me to replug it in? Hold on, can you hear me? It's green, green.
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, now can you please plug the main router to the modem? Plug the ethernet cable from the modem to one of the ethernet port of the router. Quickly. Uh, I have no power. Okay, what is the light indicator? Uh, What is the light indicator of the parent node? Solid green, which means it's working. Okay, then plug your phone from the router. Your phone, your adapter, your power adapter just below the ethernet cable.
10:00
Speaker 1
Silence for 30 secs. [silence] Yeah, it's connecting to the to the parent.
11:00
Speaker 2
working? Can you please check if you can access the internet when you are connected to that router? So it means you have internet connection. And what is the light indicator of the child modes?
11:00
Speaker 1
Hold on. I have to go upstairs. They're connected by Ethernet. [silence] I have the one on the main level currently unplug. I will plug it in. It goes solid blue, then it goes blank. [silence] I'm not seeing anything on that one. While that one is working, I'll go up to the second floor and plug that one in. it's uh what's been happening is that they eventually turn red. now there doesn't seem to be any problem with the parent. it's just connecting these children. yeah the one on the main level is now solid red.
12:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, just keep on observing it. Seems the parents don't have internet connection, so we don't have any problem with that, correct?
14:00
Speaker 1
one on the second level. turn solid red too. they're both solid red. that's the problem I've been having. I just can't get those two to connect. [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
Okay, can we move the two child nodes closer to the parent node, about two or three feet apart, and plug them directly to the wall outlet?
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I'm going downstairs to plug them in next to the parent router. The problem I found was ever since the update, the range is not as good with my controller, so ever since the update, the range is not as good with my controller from one village, the military village. In the other village, the county village by the kayak store, it was amazing. So, I'm hoping by plugging it in next to the parent router we can expand that range so that we can get as good a signal up here as we are in the county village. [silence]
17:00
Speaker 2
like yeah, about two or three feet apart from each other. And make sure they're both plugged in directly to the wall outlet if you can make it.
17:00
Speaker 1
They are they were solid blue for a second and then they're blinking blue. I'll go back and I'll go back and check them. Oh, go ahead.
18:00
Speaker 2
It can. And what is the light indicator or what are the light indicator of the child nodes? There we go. Now, can I just press OK? Since you moved the
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I'm gonna go back and try it. Once again, I'm gonna lose service. Hold on.
19:00
Speaker 2
two child nodes in same room with the parent that are about two to three feet apart. So let's proceed to reset them. Press and hold the reset button each of the child node for let's just say 10 seconds but this time we need to observe the light indicator. Make sure that the light blink red, goes off and turns to solid blue. So, when it turns to solid blue, that's the time but you're gonna release the reset button. each of the node.
19:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Hello. They are now solid blue. [silence] They are solid blue now. [silence] Solid red. Okay. [silence] Let me go back and see where they're at.
21:00
Speaker 2
Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah, I can hear you. Speaker 2: So let's just wait for both nodes to turn solid red, indicating that they are ready for setup. Yes. Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 2: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) Speaker 1: (inaudible) (inaudible)
21:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] Hello. [silence] [silence] They are both solid red. [silence] Okay. [silence] Yeah, okay. I've tried this before. All right. I'll go do it.
22:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Yes. Okay, now go to the Parent Router. Press release the reset button five times within five seconds. Not too slow, not too fast. So, press release the reset button five times within five seconds.
22:00
Speaker 1
The screen is flashing yellow. Are you there? Let me go check. I'll go check.
23:00
Speaker 2
The two child nodes. Oh, are they start blinking? The child nodes. Sure. Are they start blinking?
23:00
Speaker 1
Yes, the child nodes are blinking red.
24:00
Speaker 2
So just keep on serving them for three up to five minutes, and let me know once they also turn to solid green. [silence]
24:00
Speaker 1
[silence] hell--ho. [silence] yes. [silence] they're solid red. [silence] yes. [silence] yes, yeah. [silence] this is the problem I've been having. [silence] Yep.
27:00
Speaker 2
Yes, Ansel, here. So what are the light indicator of your Linux child nodes? Both are solid red after we set up. Can we go back and then verify and check the light indicator again?
27:00
Speaker 1
Hello? Yes, they are solid red. The child nodes are solid red. The parent node is solid green. Yes.
28:00
Speaker 2
Yes, I'm still here. So how far, but you mentioned earlier that you were able to on go online and the parents node right. Okay and then how far the child nodes from each other and also from the parent's node? [silence]
28:00
Speaker 1
about 2 to, yeah, 2 to 3 ft. I I I can change them and get them closer. A little bit closer. I just have to. All right, I'll go and try that. Yes. Yeah. Okay. [silence]
29:00
Speaker 2
about two or three feet apart? It's okay. But earlier sure the child nodes blinked red and then turned to solid red or just steady red. Okay, can we try to power cycle the parent node and plug the power adapter and wait for ten seconds to plug the power back.
29:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I plugged it and plugged it back in. Do you want me to unplug the child? To children? Okay. Okay. Okay. [silence] Okay.
30:00
Speaker 2
okay so let's just wait for all the devices to put up no need just a parents node and let all the devices you to
30:00
Speaker 1
I have a solid green number, not blinking. It's red on the children. [silence]
31:00
Speaker 2
west transfer station to remind you we will soon to commence today's Botox demonstration. Okay, keep observing them for one minute if they will steady green. If they are steady green,
31:00
Speaker 1
No. Nope. No, now they went to red. Are you there? They went to red. I'll go back and observe some more.
33:00
Speaker 2
Proceed to relocate the child nodes if they are steady green. Keep on observing it. [silence]
33:00
Speaker 1
Yes, there's still solid red. Can you hear me? Okay. Press the reset button.
34:00
Speaker 2

Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Yeah, I'm on the parent node, and I'm on Safari. Alright, it's open.
37:00
Speaker 2
accuse, and open a browser, okay, then on the address bar, type 192.168.4.1 to go.
37:00

39:00
Speaker 2
Currently it says Google Chrome, then make sure your iPad is connected to the main node network. Then open a browser such as Google, then in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 [silence] Google, 192.168.1.1
39:00
Speaker 1
The internet connection? Eh. Nothing. Let's go back to the internet connection. What I did yesterday was on the Linksys app, I set up a and a network, which I think is the parent router, but
40:00
Speaker 2
Director of Research.
40:00
Speaker 1
How do I. Let's see. got Wi-Fi address. Is there a way. I can confirm on this Wi-Fi network that it is the parent router and not the Xfinity modem. What do you think? Yeah. This is indicating it's connected. Can't get to that. Okay.
41:00
Speaker 2
Did you create your own Wi-Fi name and password for your Linksys network? You can then use that for you to be able to know if it is your Linksys network. and you can also try to reset and reconfigure your Linksys router, sir. Kindly reset also the parent node and let's start from the beginning to set up your Linksys mesh stem.
41:00
Speaker 1
The first step is unplug it. Press and hold the reset. Okay. Beeping red, red blink. Solid blue, letting go. Are you there? Okay. Beeping red, red blink. Solid blue, letting go. Are you there? Okay. Solid blue, letting go. Are you there? Okay. Solid blue, letting go. Are you there?

43:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it just turned solid. Okay.
44:00
Speaker 2
Okay, now press and release the reset button of the parent node five times within five seconds to set up your linksys mesh system.
44:00
Speaker 1
uh, no, the children are solid red, and the parent just turned solid green. No. I didn't push the red, set on them. Was I supposed to put the reset on them too? Yeah, something's just not right.
46:00
Speaker 2
and all the devices are blinking. none of the child mode are blinking. no, it's not. let's just try to swap the notes. let's make one of the child mode as a new parent mode.
46:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Just swap out the Ethernet. All right. Two zero J one zero C six eight seven four three three four three. Yeah so swap out the ethernet cables?
47:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's swap the node. Uh, grab one of the child node to set up as a new parent node and provide a serial number. Okay. Now, reset the original parent node, sir. Let's make that one as child node. Yes Make sure that the new parent node is connected to the modem using an ethernet cable. [silence] And let me know once they are all solid red after you reset the original parent node.
47:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'm having trouble getting the Ethernet cables in. Stay with me. Alright, I got one. I got one that. Okay. I got the ethernet cables in. It's solid red. Reset the original pet. Um, okay. Okay. They are. All right, weekend.
49:00
Speaker 2
No. reset the original parent node, so that we can set up it as a child node, yeah, so make sure the three nodes are about two or three feet away from each other then plugged directly to the main outlet.
49:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] [silence] and the new parent. It's solid red. [silence] [silence] There is something else. [silence] child node. And it is a blinking red. [silence] The new new parent. And other child are blinking red. [silence] Original parent is solid blue.

52:00
Speaker 1
Okay, they're all solid red now. Okay, hit crested five times. Now going to solid green,
54:00
Speaker 2
Okay, now press release the reset button of the parent node five times within five seconds to set up your Linksys Mesh system. Yeah. So the parent that is not blinking.
54:00
Speaker 1
. Um, now it's, now it's, now it's blinking red. After I press them five tons. Now it's flinking. All right, now it's blinking, now it's, now it's blinking red.
55:00
Speaker 2
linking? But when you pressed release the reset button of the new parent node earlier, sir. What is the light indicator? Okay, just keep observing them for, okay, keep observing them for three to five minutes, and let me know once the other two nodes are start blinking. The two child modes are not linking, is just steady red.
55:00
Speaker 1
So green... now it's solid red. This is solid red for all three. We'll say [silence] Uh, there's two ethernet cables in it. Uh, let's see. One comes directly from the modem. The other comes directly from a Linksys switch. Okay, I'll unplug the switch from
57:00
Speaker 2
kindly transfer the ethernet cable sir to the other port of the parent node [silence] [silence] for the meantime, unplug the Linksys switch because we're trying to set up your Linksys devices. [silence] and make sure the parent node is connected directly to the modem. There's no devices in between.
58:00
Speaker 1
no there's no, there's no devices in between, I just good. They're both, both of the Ethernet cables are yellow. So I'm just gotta figure out which one to switch, so I can unconnect, disconnect the switch. And they're tangled up. damn it. and.
59:00
Speaker 2
Is there a device in between that with a modem and a parent node? [ silence ]
59:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Blinking red on the, on the new. Oh, I forgot, I forgot to do that. Hold on.
60:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so when you transfer the ethernet cable to the other port, will the parents know the light blink red?

Okay. All right, I just got it connected. It's kind of awkward close. It is now blinking red. Okay. All green. Back to red. Solid. Steady red.
62:00
Speaker 2
Keep on observing it. Blinking! Solid green to solid red and just steady red. Okay, now kindly power cycle the modem and the parent node. unplug. the power adapter both device, modem and the parent. yeah. So power cycle the modem and a new parent node.
62:00
Speaker 1
Let check if I have any internet access. All right. The Wi-Fi is not connected now.
64:00
Speaker 2
Okay, now connect the router, the links parent node first, then the modem. Yeah, because we power cycled the modem
64:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not the others? Oh, okay. All right. Hold on. Knock that unplug em all. All right. New pair is back on. No mortgage.
65:00
Speaker 2
[silence] them and the parent node, right? Both are unplugged. So proceed to plug the power back of the parent node. Just the parent node. We need to focus with the parent node first. We need to set up this one. So, plug the parent node from Linksys. And the modem.
65:00
Speaker 1
[silence] There it is. [silence] All right. The modem's powering up. Done. you reading red. The Moment is blinking green. It's not on. yet. [silence]
66:00
Speaker 2
So what is the light indicator of the child nodes now? Oh sorry, of the parents' nodes?
67:00
Speaker 1
All right. THE modem is now on. THE parent node is still blinking red. Now just turn solid green. Solid red?
68:00
Speaker 2
it's still solid red. Okay, can we transfer the ethernet cable back to the other port of the main router? [silence]
69:00
Speaker 1
, ok? just got it. solid red. [silence]
70:00
Speaker 2
Let's check if the wi-fi name of this router is broadcasting. Connect your laptop the web. [silence]
70:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Uh, not showing up. yeah, I see that. Valentine set up D C D to C, that wasn't the one I named it, but I see that network on my list. So it says yeah. So it's velup underscore velup setup D to C. That one.
71:00
Speaker 2
Wi-Fi name and password on the bottom of the new parent node your Wi-Fi name starts with underscore VELLOP setup is that the Wi-Fi name of the new parent node underneath? [silence] Yeah, because all your child schedule broadcasting its own Wi-Fi name because they are not set up. Let's try look underneath of the parent node the very productшо.
71:00
Speaker 1
I need a password. I have no idea what password. Uh, okay.
72:00
Speaker 2
to your computer to that. [silence] On the bottom all the credentials that you need are all labeled on the sticker underneath of the parent node [silence].
72:00
Speaker 1
Can you write down this password for me? Are you there? No, not yet. I mean, I have to hold up the password and get the light. Yeah, I'm writing down the password. CF. M. D.
73:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, is your computer is now connected to the parent node?
73:00
Speaker 1
Do you have an N... N K... CFM... I... D... C... U... and... and... uh... Kay. All right. it says joining yes unable to join yeah just try it again n no no try to try Sorry.
74:00
Speaker 2
are you connected now and the light indicator of the parents now is still solid red double check double check if this your correct Wi Fi name and password [silence]
75:00
Speaker 1
Am I? The final Mnk. Hm-M-N-K. Like what you like. Let's try it one more time. [silence]
76:00
Speaker 2
are you connected with your link sys net direct now hello are you still there if no one is reporting in other lines i will forcefully in this go for conversations
78:00
