Self is fine, meaning the modem works. We've tested that left and right. The cables work, tested that left and right. Direct connections work. Wi-Fi works through the modem. When I use the Linksys routers, they don't. So, what ended up happening uh last night was um we could not um link the routers to the modem. And so in the end they did it through the website and apparently what ended up working is he went to some area where it said DHCP and he typed in four, ones and four, eights uh below that on number one and number two out of four. And then it linked up. And then the thing is, um he waited till all on my nose were green and then he's like, you know, we're good. Good good luck. Godspeed. We're done. Well, so of course, I try five minutes later and what ends up happening is the actual Internet doesn't work. So now I can sign in to my node. You know, and I did, he told me in the past, I had my Wi-Fi name of the node Wi-Fi name the same. And he told me not to do that. So I didn't. But but now when I typed in uh, the Wifi that goes to the node, even though it sign me in and it shows that there's quote signal, I get a no internet. Like uh, it, it literally, like you type in something simple like CNN and it's like CNN it's a black screen. And then eventually it'll say. And I tried resetting the modem by turning it off, like, unplugging it, and unplugging the node, and letting it kind of rejoin because that seemed to be the first thing on chat GPT that it suggested, and that was not it. Because it still doesn't work. So, oh, no, yeah, no, I mean, I'm happy to have you do that. If you think that there's something to fix. I mean, obviously, this is the point where I'm like day five of this just, you know, with with me talking to the reps and stuff. So I'm just trying to figure out if this is hopeless. Obviously, I'll buy a new system and move on with my life. But this is something that likely is going to work.
01:00
Speaker 1
Well, since connecting a computer straight to the modem provides internet, you should be able to get this node online.
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, all right. So, um, so again, it's up to you. I can tell you my,, I mean, my wife doesn't know anything about computers. So even though she's in the house, she's also doing other things, and I think she won't, um, you know, I and I would have about when I get home, I'll have about a half hour, I can help you. So if you think you can fix it in a half hour, then we can do it, obviously, it's July 3rd, well, fireworks, etcetera, going on. So I have to.
04:00
Speaker 1
Well, I'll try, sir. I can also do a remote session. Well, not necessarily.
05:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] uh, you know, but, but I'll have about a half hour I can do that. Um, so if, if that's good, okay, that's fine. So, um, so yeah, it, it, it says that I'm getting home at 4:26. So if you uh, you know, so I, there's no way you can just remote in because we had a remote session last time, correct? All right. Um, what? Cause, I mean, I assume that's what you'll need, correct? I mean, you're planning on remoteing in with whatever that program is. Oh. Okay. Um,
05:00
Speaker 2
all right, well, uh, so do you want to just? I mean, I I don't think anybody there is going to be terribly helpful for you. Um, realistically. I mean, you know, they don't make any effort to know anything about these computers and I think they'll be overwhelmed with whatever you tell them. So, um, are you able to call me at 4:30 on the dot? uh, right now I'm 3:57. So, it tells me that I'm arriving home in 30 minutes exactly from now. because I just know they're going to make me leave in whatever, 25 minutes after I arrive.
06:00
Speaker 1
So, I'll call you again at 430. Yeah. You're welcome. Bye for now. Okay. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, or if you wanna call me a minute early, just in case. You know, meaning that that way at least, you know, because we're, we're not gonna have a ton of time. You know, and I, okay, so why don't we just say 4:25 and one way or another, we'll figure it out. All right. Thanks.
