Having some issues with getting one of my nodes to connect to my main system. I've Googled it and I've tried the things that it says on there by doing like a hard Reset on it, those kind of things and I just cannot get it to reconnect to my system. So I'm hoping that you can help me with that somehow. Yeah, it just stopped working this week. We just barely noticed a cut like a couple days ago that it was not connected anymore. Yes. Serial number is 58W10M.
03:00

04:00
Speaker 2
Alright, and may I have also the model number, showing at the bottom? Alright, so you have the Wi-Fi six and is this your first time calling Linksys? Alright, let me see that okay. May I have your phone number? Mhm, mhm, Mhm. Alright, let me check it here if you have a record. Alright, I am able to pull up one and I believe I'm speaking to Trevor Maclean. Is that correct? All right, that's great. And your email is?
04:00
Speaker 2
I'll spell it. So that's T-O-E-C-R-M-CLOAN at gmail.com. Is that correct? Okay. All right. Thank you so much. And since your note is within warranty, I'll be happy to help you how to add this child node using a different method and going back to this child node now, may I know what's the light color light on top of it?
05:00
Speaker 1
an whatever and then it changes and it went to solid blue but is still not connected so that we can it is it is right beside it right now we already had moved it before we did the factory reset to like literally it's they're touching they're connected they're right side by side the tear button
06:00
Speaker 2
I see solid blue actually on setup mode and for setup purposes so that we can add it. Let's let's plug in this node that's showing solid blue to the power source within 5 ft away from the main node. Is this possible? Okay. And we're going to add it using the pair button. You're going to press the pair button at the bottom of the main parent node for 1 second. Yes, that's the bigger button between the reset and the uh power switch.
06:00
Speaker 1
and, and you want me to press it on the parent node? Okay. Done. Correct. Yes. Okay, so you're seeing. Okay. So it's now flashing white,
07:00
Speaker 2
Yes, on the parent no no. Yes, and after that, the light on your main node will start flashing white. All right, and let's also observe child node if it's also started flashing, flashing blue. All right, so it's actually responding to the pair button, so it's on the process of pairing. So next it will go through blinking white and it will give them two to three minutes turning into a solid steady white light. Okay, so the child node is flashing white light.
07:00
Speaker 1
Yes, correct.
08:00
Speaker 2
right it's actually on the process of adding now using the pair button so we'll give it two to three minutes more to have a solid white light and while waiting manual is your internet service provider okay no worries and how many total notes do you have including the main parent node all right thank you purchase
08:00
Speaker 1
Is the one that was on the main floor of our house. Yes. And you're saying when it's connected or paired, it will turn solid white. Same with the parent node, it will also turn solid white. Okay.
09:00
Speaker 2
All right. Thank you for all the information. Got it. And the shelves node still blinking white. Let's our other way wait for it. That is correct. Yes. Should be on solid white. Yes. Yes, that's the normal turnaround time for the child node to add on the network.[silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
okay, so the, yeah, so it now seems like both lights have are solid white now. Okay, so just out of curiosity, before I do that, I'm going to pull up, I have the app on my phone. I want to make sure that it shows that on the app, because it was showing on the app that it was disconnected. Okay. Yeah, now it shows that.
11:00
Speaker 2
It actually depends how big is your house. Um, this, each of this node actually covers up to 3,000 sq ft of Wi-Fi range and and since you have um based on what you described earlier with the the size of your house and the level, actually um three nodes is enough. All right. So that means it's connected now. So we can now unplug this child node and move it to where you had it before.
11:00
Speaker 1
uh. now it shows that they're all connected. okay okay so now I can uh plug it and take it to where I want it to be. Okay, I am going to do that. I will take it back upstairs. give me one second here. Oh. Okay, going back upstairs. doo doo doo. So just plug it back in where I want it to be.
12:00
Speaker 2
right that's great okay yet Yes please and after plugging in it will show a solid blue light right away indicating that it has powered then it will go through blinking blue blinking red and will wait for solid white
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Yeah, it's blue right now
13:00
Speaker 2
We'll give it again two to three minutes. We reconnect. Okay. still restarting. Next, the flashing blue should be flashing red.
13:00
Speaker 1
it's repaired to it but it's still connecting up here. Is any of this stuff yours? One of those switches is mine. Do you know which one? No. Can you figure it out? I guess. Which is the other ones close? And I just reconnected those blue and the red ones. I didn't know which one was which or which one went to who. [silence] Are you sure? Which is... this app
15:00
Speaker 2
All right, is it blinking white still on the child known. All right, so we'll also check it back on your, your Lynx this app and make sure it has connected back as well.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Yeah, it seems to say that it is um... connected. So let me ask you a quick question because I don't understand what these mean, but it says for the one that we just reconnected that I'm by, it says signal strength is -64. The one that's in the basement says that it is sorry, it's now I why is the app not telling me? Or what do the numbers mean? Uh, -64 is that like bad number or?
16:00
Speaker 2
Okay. All right. Oh. It actually is a good number. So the higher the better. If it reaches like, uh, negative 70, that's actually a weak signal, meaning the
16:00
Speaker 1
Are you there still? Hello? Sorry, yeah, I couldn't hear you there for a second. So the one that's on the basement level of the home, it says -55 and the one that's upstairs is -64. okay okay. All right, well, I appreciate your help tonight. Thank you for getting uh that figured out for me. Thank you. Have a good night.
17:00
Speaker 2
The node is too far from where it's connected, uh, it's too far from the node it's connecting to. So, those numbers are really good. Yeah, I'm still here. Okay, sir. Yeah, I can hear you fine. those are actually good signal strengths. If it goes to be a negative 70 dbm, those are not good, meaning they are weak and meaning they're far from the node. So, that's they're all okay. All right. You're most welcome, tourists. And just once again, Raquel, thank you for calling Linksys and have a wonderful day. You too.
