Oh, sorry about that. Um, I'm with SparkLite and, um, my, my customer here, um, he is having issues with his, uh, routers that at from links is they're showing like a consistent red light. Yes, sir. Go ahead. We did have a storm this morning. Um, I don't know if we lost our power, it might have flickered. Their modem is pinging right now.
01:00
Speaker 2
All right, I believe I need to speak with the owner of the router, right sure, um, ah just a confirm with you. Sir, is there like a power outage or internet outage prior to having this issue? their modem Which means your spark light modem I see So, well, um, we only deal with, uh, their router So technically, your router is dependent on, on, on your modem Which is coming from spark light So if it's showing like a pink red light I believe it's it doesn't have a Internet at all And your router is dependent on the modem So it would also affect your your linksys router That's why it's offline So, for you to isolate the issue, sir You may consider unplugging your router from the physical connection I mean, connecting from the the mode
01:00
Speaker 1
Okay. You will have to give me a minute. First name is Lane, L-A-Y-N-E. Last name Barry, D-E.
03:00
Speaker 2
By the way, sir, I need to run some verification with you in order for me to create a case here under your name and gather some information about the LAN side's router. So let me start with uh your full name. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Lb strike three at gmail.com [silence] model [silence] is so it's so small you can barely read it [silence] serial number is 25F13M37B1.
04:00
Speaker 2
All right. How about your email address for lan? Okay, sir. Got it. And can you provide me the model and the serial number of your link sys? router, you can provide me the serial number instead, sir, and I'll check on it here in my end.
04:00
Speaker 1
One nine two seven nine. Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, say that again. Yes. We've unplugged and let it sit for a couple minutes um before huh plugged it back in.
05:00
Speaker 2
All right. Let me just repeat that one. Seral, it's two five F for for M for Mike. 37B for Bravo 1927. Alright. Let me just check this one here. Have you already run some troubleshooting from Sparklight personal? I had you already performed any troubleshooting with the Sparklight personal and so far what have you done?
05:00
Speaker 1
Yes. She's referring to the router. Correct. Correct.
06:00
Speaker 2
both modem and the router? I see. And and she mentioned that um the the Spark light modem is showing pinkish red light somehow. Or is she referring to the router? Oh, she's referring to the router not the modem. Ah, I see. So, basically, Sir, if if um it's showing a a pinkish red light, it means that it's on set up mode, which technically, all you need to do is um manually configure it or configure it using the web user interface of Linxys. But, um, just to verify with you, um, did you reset the router?
06:00
Speaker 1
Yes. Yes, sir. OK. I have what? Three notes. Yes.
07:00
Speaker 2
Like you pressed the router. So did you okay? So you did a hard reset on it. So since you did a hard reset on it, sir, it went back to its default settings. Which means you need to set it up again. That's why you're you don't have Internet connection coming from the router. Okay. So you may um just to confirm with you, sir, you got three nodes, right? You have three nodes? Three towers, three towers. Okay. All right, so I've actually checked here, uh, the status of your router, and uh, just to set your expectations. This, uh, model, this WHW01 Ding says product that you have right now. Now is actually already part of our end of life devices, which means we no longer manufacturer this one and update the firmware. Also, looking at here, it shows that the warranty of the device had already expired way back um 2024 and for out of warranty devices, we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance over the phone. However, we do have an ongoing support through our page connect service for a one-time fee of $15, which you might want to consider. But if you don't want, um you can send you an email with the troubleshooting steps that you can perform. Well, basically, you need to uh set up your router or reconfigure your router since you have reset it. So, right now, um I can give you some insights and see if it will go online. Just at least, you know the parent.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I've done that. I got it. No, still got to...
09:00
Speaker 2
the main one. So since it's showing purple light, you can try pressing the reset button on it five times within five seconds. not too fast and not too slow. So that's what we call the 5 press method. So again, all you need to do is press the reset button five times within five seconds, not too fast, not too slow. So just press and release. Press and release five times. Okay, and all right. And any changes on the behavior of your main router or your parent node?
09:00
Speaker 1
The light's yellowish may be flashing a little slow. Okay. Sounds good.
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, that means, um, it's trying to configure. So it's the fiber brush method is a manual way of um, reconfigure, or configuring your router to go online. So I'll just wait and see if it will go online. Then from there on, um, I will provide you the rest of the troubleshooting steps that you can perform through email if you're not going to opt in with the paid connect service. Alright, sir. I'll just make sure that it's um, it can be um, simple and easy to understand so that you can follow the steps. Alright, sir. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
And that went back to red. Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
[silence] hold that it's our dread and give it some time because usually it would take two minutes to reboot and set up ... Any progress, sir? OK. So you might need to reset the router again, sir. to properly reset it. Just press and hold the reset button on the the router at least 20 seconds.
11:00
Speaker 1
It is switching back to red. It is red red. Well, if you can't help me anymore than that, I'm gonna switch to fiber optics.
15:00
Speaker 1
and uh. away with this. Okay, thank you. All right, have a good day. So, are you still online?
16:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, sir. We respect your decision, sir. And, um, well, if um, you're not willing to proceed with the- proceed, I mean proceed with the Pig Connect service, uh, we really cannot stay longer with the call. And, uh, we'll provide you the instructions of the troubleshooting steps through email. Alright, sir. You're very much welcome, sir. You too. Have a great day. Take care.
