[silence] It's technical support, my name is Dillon, [silence] how can I help you today? child note mm-hmm Yes. I see. So one of your child notes got disconnected to the network. I see. And it's showing solid red. Okay. All right, sir, no problem. Um, let me just run some verification with you first in order for me to proceed further. And uh yeah, so let's start with your full name. Sorry. Okay. All right, sir. Thank you so much for that. And uh based here on our system, uh your record you've got an MX 6200. All right. And you only have two nodes? How many notes do you have? [ silence ] were the same model? Are they all MX 6200s? oh, I see. OK. So, um, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Oh, OK. Um, what's the model of your parent node there? Is it also a MX 6200? 6,200. The main one, the parent node. Okay. All right. So, let's let's let's ring the child node near the parent node and plug it in there. Okay. So let's just wait for it to reboot. Credit one. No problem. Sure. Okay. May I know who's your internet service provider by the way? Um, Frontier. All right. Okay, so I've already updated your uh record here. So, yeah, um, let's just wait for your node, your child node to turn or, yeah, depending on the light indicator that will, it gives us. And this problematic child node is also an MX 6, 200, right? Okay.
00:00
Speaker 1
it's only the one that's not that doesn't want to work right. Okay. There's still flash and blue. Still flash and blue. Mm-hmm. I don't know what you did but it was just working now. Oh.
05:00
Speaker 2
No problem, sir. Um, I'll help you out with this. and I would, uh, appreciate if you can, uh, help me with the troubleshooting. anyway, uh, what's the light indicator now? flashing blue. okay. all right, let's give it more time. it's probably because of the placement but uh let's wait and give it more time.
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Well, well, I brought it in here. Again, I had it, it played somewhere else, but, when I brought it in here, it was a while ago. And it's, yeah, and it, it went red again. And I said, well, I'm close to the main one, so, I guess I, uh-oh. Yep, you're right. It's bouncing back to red. Yep, it was, it's red, solid red. Okay. Okay, guys. Well, I thought, okay, let's see. Reset. Point seven. I need a pen, don't I? No. I shouldn't.
06:00
Speaker 2
just to ensure that it will remain solid. Alright. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to reset the router. So to properly reset it, just press and hold the reset button for 20 seconds. Mhm. Well you can easily push the reset button by
06:00
Speaker 1
good. I don't need to win. Okay, I'm dog now. When do you want me to let go? 20 seconds. It's blue now. idea idea is laughing at him. It's flashing
07:00
Speaker 2
a button, then that will be fine. But it would be hard for you. You probably need a pin. Okay. Yes, sir. Uh, you um uh the light went back already. You can release the reset button. Once the light. Okay. All right. All right. So let's
07:00
Speaker 1
What's calling? Okay. [silence]
08:00
Speaker 2
Just wait for the child node to turn solid blue, which means it's on setup mode. Then we're going to add it back to the network.
08:00
Speaker 1
solid blue h I i okay hold on wait I got to get through what not so slow right silence
09:00
Speaker 2
Alright, that's good to hear, sir. Okay. So, uh, what we're going to do now is the the pipe press method. Uh, it's a manual way of adding the child node without the use of the latest app and the web interface. So all you need to do is just, um, go to the parent node and then you press the reset button on the parent node five times within five seconds. So, not too fast, not too slow. Yes. Five times. Not too fast, not too slow. You just have to Yeah, you just
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, hold on, I got, I'm going to try to get, get to it here. Oh, man. Let me see if I can see it. Okay. Okay. Reset, reset. Okay, I did it. Yeah, it's, it's blank and white.
10:00
Speaker 2
I have to press and release the reset button. Five times. alright. Any, like, changes on the light indicator on the parent node? It's now, it's now aging mode. It's now looking for the child node, and you'll notice
10:00
Speaker 1
[silence] they all are so they all be yeah okay they're also be blinking or just the one [silence] okay, I'm checking No oh just the two of them d6200 ones should be blinking right? okay yeah d6200 ones blinking the other one was still yeah the other ones are still connected I believe because they're green oh that's like blue's green yeah okay this is you all well I'm going in every room to make sure just to double check [silence] okay. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
channel will start blinking. If uh if it's already communicating with the parent node. I'm sorry? Yeah, it should all be blinking. Yes. OK, that's good. Yes, exactly. All right.
11:00
Speaker 1
. Yeah. Gotta one more thing to look at. So I got I got them all through the house because I got a lot of stuff hooked up. I got like a smart house, but they said once in a while you should reset it. And that's what I did because I had some buffering. Yeah. They're all Okay. The rest are good. Yeah, this model, the older model was um, DH-W01. Those are the old ones. Yeah. But they're all still good. Those are still good.
12:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Yes, sir. W-or. O okay. Alright, sir. that that's good to hear, sir.
12:00
Speaker 1
The big one, the tatter, one, it is, still blinking, white, well, yeah, still blinking, watt. It's the child. The child is still blinking, white. Let me check the main, the parent. Let me let that. What the? The parent's still blinking. Um, it's not too far. One. I don't know, about six feet. It's not far. It's not far at all. Seven. Maybe 10. It ain't, yeah. It was closer than what it was.
13:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Which one is still blinking white? The two of them? All right. How far is your child node at the moment from your main router? [silence] so I see. All right. No problem, sir. Yeah, that's the ideal, the ideal placement for the child node to be easily added to the network is at least five.
13:00
Speaker 1
It's about 10 feet, but it's still since the child no it's solid. Okay, they're the parent the parent is still blinking white. But the child but it turn red the child will turn red. Oh, want to put it closer? One more time. Okay. So this is where I set it up before, the same way I got it now when I first got them, this is where I set it up end. Oh. Oh yeah, I see it now. I see what you're saying. it went red, but it's still
14:00
Speaker 2
mm-hmm beat away from the parent node mm-hmm and all right no problem sir let's give it more time uh let's not move it yet let's give it more time mm-hmm yeah cuz uh it's actually like um
14:00
Speaker 1
Right. Well, it looks like... As a child, it looks solid right now. Let me check the parent. The parent is now... still blinking. The parent is... is solid. Solid? Yeah. Solid black, yeah. Do what? Okay. Okay. Yeah. That's what I thought you said. Hold on. Okay. It worked where I had it at before, real good. That was bottom window and everything. It just got, it must have got, I must have, must have.
15:00
Speaker 2
okay so let's keep shooting see two that's good to hear hum full-white they're now both full white okay that's good to hear sir uh we can now proceed in relocating the child note we can now proceed in relocating the child node yes sir mm-hmm. sure just give it some time t reboot and go back online. i'm sorry sir
15:00
Speaker 1
for a few seconds or whatever, something like that, then plug it back in to, that kind of reboot it, right? To keep it, that, right, okay. With the reset, okay, yeah. But should I, should I, okay, once in a while, like once in a while, should I, um,
17:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm, uh-huh. But uh, yeah, what what we did is actually the most convenient way. Cuz if we're going to unplug your child node, I mean your your main one, your parent node, it would compromise your other other other nodes. So it's one way of isolating the issue. So we're focusing on adding the child nodes, the problematic one, uh-huh, uh-huh. That's why instead of doing a sequence reboot, we uh went straight ahead with the reset. Yeah.
17:00
Speaker 1
you know, they say I don't have to never reboot nothing, right? Should I do that one? [silence] Oh, okay. So I just gotta keep it, I don't never have to mess with it, right? Okay. And then Okay. Okay. It's solid, it's solid white. Okay. Oh, it is solid.
18:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, sir. You don't need to reboot that one because normally the MX6200 optimizes itself every time it has an issue, or sometimes it reboots itself to look for a less congested channel. Yes, sir. As long as you don't have a sudden power interruption or any issues or some things that can interrupt the communication between the parent and the child node, then there will be no issues with it. All right, that's good to hear. Um, I think you're up and good.
18:00
Speaker 1
Looking at the solid white now. Let me. So the rest should be still good. Okay. It looks good. Um. What'd they, I got a question. What'd. I got a question. Because I got. Okay. You know the ones I have. And I have like the ring doorbell. The ring camera. Uh. The internet and um. You know uh. What else? Uh. Yeah. I got a lot of stuff like that hooked up. So I got enough. I got enough internet coverage, right? I mean I got enough coverage with these. child mode, right? I got more than enough. And uh.
19:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Alright. Mm-hmm. Yes sir. Uh, I guess we're all good for now. Alright. Kay so, mm-hmm sure. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Actually, yes sir. Uh, seven nodes is, yeah, I has always seen it as quite a lot, you know, but considering the org chart forward, which has a lot of people in it, that makes it a lot easier then. We've been needing that for a while.
19:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so that's 121, 221. Square feet. So okay, so okay, sounds good. Or hey, one more question. Well, well, say you got, I got direct TV. Everything's internet now. But you know, when the buffer sometimes, could it be the internet? Or a movie or
20:00
Speaker 2
Well, that's actually a very good setup. Yeah, that's it. That's quite huge. But anyway, if it's working fine there, then that would be good. Anyway, you can always contact us for any help in case you have issues with your device. Mr. All right, sir. Thank you. Oh, sure. Well, if it, what's your number?
