Hi May, my name is Dave Howe, I'm calling from Dallas. I was, uh, I'm moving into a new home next week and I wanted to talk to somebody about, um, your wireless routers. The, how do you pronounce enive? Velop. Yeah.
00:00
Speaker 2
Welcome to Linksys Support. To ensure quality service, your call may be monitored. Certain products will be supported, while end of support products will have self-help options available. Please have your serial number ready and stay on the line for assistance. [silence] Thank you for calling Linksys. This is Mae. How can I help you? To help us better diagnose the problem, we will need to know which router you currently own, and which one you're planning to buy. The Valence Mesh. [silence] Since your planning to move in, just make sure to remember which one is which, like the current parent node that you have right now, make sure that's the one that will be plugged in to the new location.
00:00
Speaker 1
so you so yes so I I'm getting uh AT&T fiber it's uh up to one gig speed um I the routers that I have now are are DSL I guess so uh I need to get some and I've been on the website um and I just want to make sure I buy the right one [silence] okay okay let me get it uh so um micro okay I'm on the website just trying to find you the [silence]
01:00
Speaker 2
ation. Are you think will you be using a new modem, then, on that new location? So what's the model number that you're eyeing with buying to buy? If you ask me, I'll recommend our MX 6200. That's a Gigabit router and also a Wi-Fi 6E mesh already. [silence]
01:00
Speaker 1
Would I not want to go with the 7? Yes. Like I can get on Amazon, I see the the uh VELOP a Micro 7 uh dual band uh, with a BE uh, 5,000 Wi-Fi 7 mesh system. And then and then my house is like 4,062 square feet, the the thing on um on uh Amazon, says it with the three different routers uh, or I guess I call it the three pack. Um, it covers 6600 square feet and there's an outdoor area right outside the living room where there'll be a TV,
02:00
Speaker 2
MX 6200. If it's available, then you can. As far as I know, there's no... you're calling from US, right? Okay. Yeah, that will work. That's even higher when it comes to wireless standard.
02:00
Speaker 1
Do you think that'll be enough coverage? [silence] So I could put one close to the window outside and would that help? [silence] Right, and the node even though it's through like a plateglass window, it would probably be probably 25 feet from the television that I'll connect to it.
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Each of it can broadcast up to 3,000 square feet when it comes to the wireless signal, but for a perfect environment, if there will be walls in between already thick walls or windows, then the signal will be limited. If you're planning to purchase three packs, so um, that will do. Right. Mhm. As long as there's a node nearby. [silence] It will work. [silence] If possible. [silence] ah yeah, because this device doesn't have
03:00
Speaker 1
[silence] be enough to run a TV? I'm not running 8K or anything. Um, um, [silence] Okay, should I consider um another unit like the Velop Pro 7.
04:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Yes, it will. [silence] Are you planning to purchase this [silence] one in Amazon? They have. Okay. So you [silence] can try to set it up. Uh, this and you can call us and we can help you if ever it will not work. I believe they have the [silence] return policy. You can then return it just in case it will not work for you. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
right. The waves won't go through, right? Yeah, I understand that, but I I'm saying for the additional ethernet port uh uh ports, and doesn't it um doesn't it uh have a higher BE rating? Does that mean much? [silence] Right.
05:00
Speaker 2
yet. But, uh you know what, uh just to let you know, it doesn't matter if it's Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7, if it's the distance involve or if there's really like thick wall or uh Windows, then it will not really help even though you're using already the latest Wi-Fi standard. So, Okay. Yeah. Uh, yeah. So, if you can manage to have it wired, even much better to secure signal even though the distance is kind of far.
05:00
Speaker 1
Right. Um, Hmm. Okay. And, uh, any idea where I could get, uh, find, uh, the Lenský 7 to see what that would cost with three nodes? [silence] So, so you're subjects, so if I understand you correctly, the, what I'm looking at on Amazon right now is the Lenský 7, dual band, DE 5,000 Wi-Fi [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
as long as it's wired. Yeah, before, it's still available in Amazon and Best Buy. And last time I checked, it was available in Amazon. But right now, I think it's already out of stock for our MBE-7000. So good thing if you can still find this BE-5000 is this is equivalent to Wi-Fi 7 'cause it's a already Micro 7 built mesh.
06:00
Speaker 1
five 7 mess setup, uh, four Wi-Fi streams up to five gigabits per second, 6,600 square feet. That's the three pack. You think that'll cover me? And worst case, I just return it. And kind any idea if I wanted to wait until early next week for the pro. Um, any idea how long they'll be out of stock? I see you and the only real connection um,
07:00
Speaker 2
uh huh. yes and there's yeah it's been once since uh the device is been out of stock in your area and we don't have news yet as to when they were going to manufacture again this um much this MB 7000. so there's no new news yet as to when it will, uh it will be there.
07:00
Speaker 1
the only real connection to the the,uh, these, um, uh, the micro 7s is it looks like there's a ethernet connector and that goes to the AT&T modem. Okay, so I could put a so I could put an extender next to like in my office and that would help with speed, right? Okay, it sound it sounds like that I can get away with the micro 7. Thank you. Bye bye. Well, I was just so but but um and I appreciate your help very much. Um, So, if I want to run like four TVs in I work out of my home, I should be okay. [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
Right. Perfect. One last question. Um, let's say, uh, I want to go ahead and add one more node. I can do that as long as it's of a micro 7, right? I continue to add one more node, and it gives me, um, yeah, that gives me flexibility. Perfect. All right. Thank you. You've been very helpful. I appreciate it, man. All right. Bye.
09:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, you can use your devices simultaneously. This is already an up, uh, up, up-to-date wireless technology. So, even if you'll use your devices at the same time, your connection should be still okay. Velop. Velop Mesh. It's compatible. Linksys. Mm-hmm. If, in the future, you need, um, more signals, so you can add more nodes. You're welcome. You take care. Bye bye. Bye.
