Speaker 1
define. three nodes yeah. does it have a I have a serial number for do you want that specific serial number for that node? okay so the serial number I have I have for each one has their own serial number I have a serial number written. oh okay let me go up there and get it then. okay.
01:00
Speaker 2
So, you've got a total of three nodes, right? Okay. Is there a modal number of that nonworking device that's blinking red or the one that's not working? Yes, sir. Each device, each device has a serial number.
01:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I'm turning it over. Okay. 5, 8W, 1, 0, m, 2, a, g, 0, 1-9-9-3.
02:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let me just check if I got it correctly, okay? that is 5 8 W for William 1 0 M for Mary and then 2 and then A for Apple and then is it D for David? and then 0 1
02:00
Speaker 1
That's correct, man. uh, model number Amazon Mary, Xs and X-ray, 6, 2, 00. Uh, hold on. Let me it's not blinking. It's just a stable. It's it's just red. It's not blinking. Yeah. That's correct. Hold on. Let me, hold on. Hold on. I have to flip it over again. Go ahead. By, they
03:00
Speaker 2
Um. 993. Okay. And how about the model number? this is the one. Uh. It has a blinking red. Correct? Just read. Okay. This is not the parent knows or this is one of the child knows right. Okay. Uh. Again, let me double check again this rail number, that's 58 W4 William 10. uh.
03:00
Speaker 1
That's correct. Since 2024. Let me see. Let me check my let me check my hold on. Let me check my book. August 2024. Uh no I just have the month of August 2024. All right.
04:00
Speaker 2
how long you had this router? This node? Okay, any uh okay. And any date, sir? If you have any uh notes. Okay, i'll just put any date, okay? I'll just put August 1. And then, um, the parent node, sir, is it the same model number? Or you,
04:00
Speaker 1
Well, it should be the same one if I bought them all together, right? Or - yes, I have three nos. That is correct. It's - they're both are white. I've called Linksys in the past, but it's been a - it's been a
05:00
Speaker 2
has a different model number. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. And again, only, um you've got a total of three nodes. And then only this node is, um has a solid red, correct. Okay. The other three, the other two has blue, um color or it could be white. Okay. So it is a possibility that this node is disconnected from the network. That's why it has a red, um light. So, uh we are going to, um sort of bring this node near to the parent node. Okay? And, better to, um, have your code lengths before or this is the first time? Okay. Can I have your phone number?
05:00
Speaker 1
626... -five three three-seven nine-eight- 0. That's correct. Yes. Okay we gotta unplug it and take it downstairs
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. And have your phone number. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay, thank you. Okay. Mm-hmm. Alright, I was able to pull up a record here. Um, your, uh, it's under Mr. Scott Lee and email address liemford@a charter.net. Okay. So, right now, sir, to proceed with the troubleshooting, we need to bring this, um, device, uh, this node, near the parent node.
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Hold on. I've got to be able to squeeze in, in the back of my cabinet here. So stand by. Okay, I have a disconnected
07:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. Okay, bye.
07:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Let me, uh, stand up and, and get it, go downstairs. Okay, I'm going downstairs. Uh, Now, how close does it need to be to the parent mode? Oh, 10 feet. Okay. I'm trying to, okay, I'm downstairs. Let me Okay. Let me see.
08:00
Speaker 2
And we'll bring it about near to the parrot. Like, maybe around, um, 10 ft, but it is would be okay. Or it could be less than 10 feet. Yes. Or it could be less than 10 uh or it could be less than 10 feet.
08:00
Speaker 1
okay I got up lugg and the yeah it's blinking it's blinking out blue light
09:00
Speaker 2
All right. Let's wait for like a minute or two. To fully put up this node. Okay. Not . And your first and last name, domain.com.
09:00
Speaker 1
It is still blinking.
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, it's still blinking.
10:00
Speaker 1
All right. Now it's turned white, but in the past it changes to red, but we'll see what happens. Now, now it's turned red. It's not blinking, it's just red. [silence] Hello? Hello? [silence] No, bro. Okay. Yeah, it's solid wrapped now. Okay. So do I[silence] what do I do?
11:00
Speaker 2
Okay, yes you are salient. You're sorry for that. It's, um from from white to red. Okay. So it seems like the the node right now, sir, it got disconnected from the network. So what we're going to do here is we'll reset the node. Okay, and then we're going to add it again back to the network. Okay? Okay. Um, on the non-working node, the one that has solid red. Okay. Um, um let's just go and click reset. Okay. Then go to Add to network.
12:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Yes, I see it. Okay. Okay. How long should I hold it? Okay. Are you going to count it for me? Okay. Okay. I'm holding it now. I release.
13:00
Speaker 2
At the bottom, there's a reset button, right? Okay. You can press it with your finger, that's OK. But if you are having problem pressing it, you can use a pointed pen or a pointed object. Okay? Press and hold, hold it down for 20 seconds. Yes, let me know so that I can set my timer. All right, thank you so much for your time. And this is Ashley again, calling. Okay. All right, please release the reset button.
13:00
Speaker 1
It turned, it turned blue. Okay. It is blinking blue. All right.
14:00
Speaker 2
Yes, it's way, that will um, boot up as well, so let's wait for another minute or two. Is it still blinking? Let's wait until it turns solid blue.
14:00
Speaker 1
What would cause you to lose your network? [silence] No, not at all. Haven't done anything. [silence] It has just turned solid blue. [silence] Uh, I haven't. Wait, hold on. Yeah, I have the - I have the device here. Here you go. Uh oh, I can't see it. It is - can you go to normal? Let me see. Let me.
15:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Not really sure. So it could be possible the location or could be um there's some uh the channel on the um settings on the parent node. By the way, uh was there any changes on the uh parent node? Mhm. Oh right now it's it's solid blue or still blinking? Okay. So we're going to add this one back to the network sir. Um, to add this um child node back to the network, we are going to use our fiber
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I'm lifting up the parent node. Okay. Okay. Okay, five times. Five times to reset it. Okay, here we go. One, two, three, four, five. I did it? The parent node is blinking now, white.
16:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So the five press setup is like we are pressing the reset button of the parent node five times within five seconds. So it's like press release, press release, on the reset button of the parent node. So five times within five seconds, okay? Uh huh. Then five times within five seconds, not too fast, not too slow. So, yes. Five times. Yes. Okay. Five times. Uh huh. What's the is the light the child mode? Is it like responding? Okay. Uh huh.
16:00
Speaker 1
The, the node that was having your problem is blinking blue.
17:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's wait for that. It's kind of responding. Silence. Silence.
17:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, they're both still blinking white.
18:00
Speaker 2
Okay, it's blinking, right?
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay. The one that had problems is a solid white now. but the parent node is blinking white. [silence]
19:00
Speaker 2
you know okay let's just wait till and turn solid white
20:00
Speaker 1
It is just, is still, now it's solid white. Okay, so, to repeat what you, what we did, we brought down the troubled node down to the, to the main node. And before we click five times on the, on the parent node, five times within five seconds, what color was the button had to be blue? Table blue before? Table blue.
21:00
Speaker 2
okay, is it solid north water or is it still blinking? Okay, so on the child node right now, sir. Let's wait for another minute. If it will stay solid white and after that we can after a minute, we can then relocate it back to the location to the other area of the house. yes. So it should be blue. Yes. Yes. Because yes, here's the thing. If it is white, that means it's connected to the network and it has internet. Word connected to the network and it has internet.
21:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay [silence] Okay. [silence] So could I do that myself then if it's if it's blue or red? I can do the reset by hitting it five times?
22:00
Speaker 2
Well, if it is blue, that's an indication that the node is ready for setup. It's no configuration, no setup on saved on that node. If it is red, it's either blinking red or solid red, that means it's disconnected from the network. Um, ooh. Yeah, sir, you can do that as long that's on if it is, what we call this one, if it is the child node. You can reset the child if it's in red, or you can just try to do power cycle first. Okay? Now, turn off the node first. Then if it's still the same after turning it off, it won't reconnect, then this is time that you can do the reset then add it again back. [silence] Oh! Um, yeah, sir. You can do that as long that's on if it is, a, what we call this one, if it is the child note. You can reset the child if it's in red and then, or you can just try to do power cycle first. Yeah, power cycle. Okay. Now, turn off the node first, then if it's still the same after turning it off, it won't reconnect, then this is time that you can do the reset and add it again back.
22:00
Speaker 1
so I can reset I can do I can do the five does it have to be blue or can it be red and reset it? it has to be blue only if if it's blue okay alright we're going upstairs
23:00
Speaker 2
Right so. yeah, it should be Blues or no if it is red. Yeah, it should be blue. That's the only time that you can use the five press. But if it is red, no, you's yes, you cannot do it if it is in red. gotta write it's really more than a minute already. And it's in white. Correct. Uh yes, just you can unplug it. And we can bring it on upstairs.
23:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay, I'm going to plug it in now. O.K. plugged it in. It's blue. O.k. [silence]
24:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's just wait like a same thing a minute or two to fully boot up the node. Again, um, let me take a check. Can I really do that? We cannot find the recording. I'm using your phone. So let me create a recording. Let's go into here and give this a listen.
25:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now it's turned a stable white. Okay.
27:00
Speaker 2
it's white, so let's just observe it for another minute just to make sure that it will stay in white. [silence]
27:00
Speaker 1
Yes, L. E. E. S, as in Sam, the number four, yes, at charter.net. It is, it is a, yes, it's a stable white. [silence]
28:00
Speaker 2
can you tell me if that is correct to the w h w zero one okay this is thanks white okay good so basically what we do here is we just um added the um child node back to the network first as we do the reset so that it will set back to default and then we're just running deploy i just have my vpn turned off here
28:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. No, what I'll do, I'll write myself a notation and on a on a sticky note and put it on this note here in case it happens again. I can I can do it myself, providing that the baby one is the blue stable before I hit reset five times within five seconds. What five times within five seconds? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you for your assistance. I do appreciate it. I Okay. I thank you. You too. Bye bye.
29:00
