Speaker 1
said everything looks good on their end and i've unplugged the router unplugged the modem plugged everything back in and done a diagnostic test on everything and um you know everything on my end seems to be in order except for not having internet and uh one one thing that is um is a little strange is that when i go to my network uh when i go to like the settings on my computer and i go to the networks um you know it doesn't show it shows like the lynksys uh you know number that i have um the wi-fi name the number but it i did have a name for it and that name is gone and um uh yeah this is my computer and so that's the alex is showing up saying it's connected to whatever then there's this um wi-fi droothy that apparently somehow managed to be added and it's not connected to anything like that so the only the only thing that's not on the list it the only i'm guessing the only network that i'm connected to is that one that's right the one that's right there but it's not visible here that's weird so um as i said they they said everything was okay so there might be some other thing that i have to do on my computer to reset something or reconnect it or something but i don't know what that would be. So what, the detail. Yeah, that's right. It's not showing. Um, like if I go to Wi-Fi. Um, it has, you know, no network. This is, you know, the link just, which is one three eight two five. And it should be, uh, either 2.4 or 5 gigahertz. Um, you know, doesn't show that. It says connected, uh, but there's nothing. And then the known networks are one three eight two five. But it used to have a name. I, you know, I named it, it had a name and that is gone. Um, uh, you know, I
04:00
Speaker 2
Network is showing the default network like the old Wi-Fi name of the router is showing on the Wi-Fi list.
05:00
Speaker 1
I don't know if there's a problem um with um you know with the equipment or uh let's see. Let's see. Setup Wi-Fi to wirelessly connect to your Mac to the internet turn off Wi-Fi then choose a network to join. So I I I need uh I I'm I'm calling for help. Okay. Good. Okay. Uh the serial number is uh well hold on let me uh [silence] let me see [silence] it's right here [silence] it should be on this label right here oh there it is okay yeah uh the serial number is yes 00000 and that is the one attached to your vehicle please confirm yes um [silence] 00000 [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. All right. I do apologize with regards to your internet connection. But yeah, let's walk you through on how to do it. And let's see if...How can I access the patch centers? All right. Before we proceed, sir, can you provide the model number and the serial number of this Lexus router? [silence] Got it. All right got it. Thank you so much for providing me this information, sir. And also may know who is your internet service provider? [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
They may have they may go by a different name. Let me see. It's a it's a it's WVT basically.
08:00
Speaker 2
that I can hide.([silence]So[silence]based on the record here sir with regards to the module number and the serial number that you provided to me, this device was already part of our end-of-life and end of support device, it means that we don't provide technical support for this device anymore and also no updated firmware and the security of this router is not so secure anymore sir. So what I can suggest first is to use the latest replacement of this router using modern technology which guaranteed the latest security features and firmware upgradek and which will also be easier in technical support.
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay. All right. Okay. So I would need, okay. And would that explain why the, the, um, name of my network is missing?
09:00
Speaker 2
It conveys to you is for you to purchase a latest router like a Wi-Fi 7. Since this router that you have was uh Wi-Fi 5. It was already outdated. So, if your modem or your internet ISP keep on upgrading, their software, this router cannot cope uh to that upgrade anymore, sir. Maybe that's the reason why it keeps uh disconnecting to your network. Yes, that's why um it goes back to its default setting. It's rebooted um manually. But if you still want to use this router, sir, what I can do is I could send you an email instead about how to troubleshoot it yourself.
09:00
Speaker 1
and would that help it to work again? Okay. I mean, at least, yeah, at least temporarily. I mean, I did like a diagnostic test on it. and it said call AppleCare, which seemed ridiculous to me, but does that make any sense? Okay. Okay. Oh, yes. Let's see. C CRAIG Ghompson at gmail.com. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
it might or may not work server I cannot guarantee you that one since this is the old router anymore yes yes I understand that one yeah but um let me send it to your email and you can try to troubleshoot it yourselves just follow the instructions can you provide me your email address yes so that I can send emails
10:00
Speaker 1
cc Craig Thompson. Like, that the initials, see Craig Thompson? Yeah. Oh, okay. So, alright. So, um, so we're, we're, you're, we're finished talking. Thank you for helping me. And uh, so you think it's just the equipment then is done? Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
Okay, I do apologize. Can you repeat that one again, sir? Oh, it's Craig Thompson at gmail.com. Craig Thompson, got it. Got it. So expect an email from you, sir, within three to five minutes after we end the call, all right? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It's already outdated and it's not so secure
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay, that's, that's, that's good. That's uh, you know, that's an answer that makes sense. You know, everything else seems to be, you know, good. So, all right. Well, thank you. I, I appreciate your help then. And I'll look forward to your, I'll look forward to your email. Yeah. Thank you.
12:00
Speaker 2
