This is Linksys Technical Support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a Linksys specialist. Well, it says Paul from Linksys customer assurance team. May I speak to Dennis? Okay, sir. So, yeah, your case has been escalated to us, yeah, to the escalation team, so I'm doing a follow-up call, sir, regarding your concern about your Linksys router. I believe you're having issues like uh accessing like some websites when connected to the router. So, you tried and you cannot access? These are good.
00:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Yes. Okay. I, okay. The Linksys router itself that was, this firmware upgraded on last Saturday. So what I, what I found out was that after I did some firmware upgrade, and I couldn't access to the mobile banking, internet banking on my laptop, no, on my desktop, PC, and mobile phone. Then, after that, I got myself a [silence] [silence] [silence] friend to check for me. Then, um, before we find, there was, it seems like there was some bug on the firmware upgrade. Then, we got this, the local ISP to come check the fiber connecting, the modem, the ONT. It was working fine. and then he did some testing also. Then he said he couldn't fix the issue. Then after that, he told me that he wanted to do some flash the firmware. Then after he flashed the firmware, somehow it restarted and it worked for about 10, 15 minutes. After he left, I changed my SSID, my password also. Then, I rebooted and then the whole thing went back to whatever it happens again. So, I came up with a conclusion, maybe the firm had got issue. Then I thought of trying something else. When I create a guest account with a password, and then I shared with my cell, I key in. My desktop, PC and mobile phone had no problem.
00:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah, so that's why it just, it's escalated. Okay, so I just want to confirm, so after you create the guest account, yeah, when you are connected to the guest network of the router, you can access the app, right? Just this banking website. I guess that's fine. But even, even when you say guest, yeah, say guest Wi-Fi, that's the guest account on Linksys, right?
02:00
Speaker 2
And then I spoke to this Lindsay's tech support. I think from Philippines? The lady who spoke to me was like she she went through with me once to do the factory settings, everything. Restore, reset to factory settings. And then she told me sir that level one support, everything has been completed. So there's nothing much we can do. That's why I escalated you to level two. Somewhat? Okay. Yes when I connect, yeah, I go to this, I connect it to my desk, Wi-Fi. And I can use my mobile banking, I can use the internet banking on my desktop to
02:00
Speaker 1
Yes, it works, but when you are connected to the main, it doesn't work at all, right? But this happens.
03:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Yes. Yes, that's it. It's not working yet. Correct. Then, I asked... yeah. Okay, because I got my friend who actually is a CCNP, and then I told him I have this issue, and he tried to fix it and then I said, okay, what you've gone through with me also the same thing, you went through some of the settings, you disabled IPv6, you add the DNS, one DNS to 8.8.8, 8.8.1, you know, no, 8.8.8, and one-by-one, then Linsey support yesterday, the tech support lady, help desk told me to change to the DNS two to 2.2.2.2, which I also cannot. Then my friend told me said that he went to search some... [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
yes, yeah, yes, yes, yes, I agree with you, yeah, there seems to be something wrong with the firmware because yeah, yes, you, um, you, you've said it works. Yeah, if you're connected to the, uh, guest access on the same router, but you can't access those specific website when connected to the main network, right? Yeah, so that's one that one that seven that 211. That I mean, 211 289, right? Yeah.
04:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Some settings. so far all that's [silence] likely to be have some bug on the firmware. Hello? Are you still there? Oh, okay. Okay. [silence] Yeah. Yes. Uh, I can, okay, the version for my two, my parent and child node, the version that was upgraded, the firmware upgraded was 1.1.7.211289.
04:00
Speaker 1
Uh, I just want to confirm so I may know where did you get this router. Is this provided to you by your ISP? Yeah. This one is. Yeah. [silence] Yeah.
05:00
Speaker 2
Yes, it's provided from the ISP. And I... actually in fact I spoke to them. I told them, said, why not you just inform your back end, which is the StarHub site, saying that, hey why not you just change the router for me? And then they told me that, oh, we are not able to change the router because it's not faulty. It's not faulty, but it's not working. then you then I showed them the webpage I showed them the webpage saying that there is this custom firmware which is actually catered especially for StarHub internet service provider StarHub ISP they said it's for StarHub customers only so however I said according to what I found out was this firmware upgrade for StarHub customer but then this bug there's this bug actually I don't know who wrote it but there's some issue in it they [silence]
