03:00
Speaker 1
I've already talked to my internet provider. and the internet connected fine. What? What? many many times. Many years. I couldn't tell you how many. I've had it for quite a while. and it was working fine up until just a couple hours ago. They said they did not
04:00
Speaker 2
okay. Have you tried? Sorry, go ahead. Have you tried just unplug and replug your router and modem if it will work? I don't think so. Well, um, let me just check here. Okay. How long have you been using this router, sir? Okay. Alright. I'd like the who's your internet service provider, by the way? Did they not like upgraded something from your internet service? Okay, all right. Now, I was able to Okay, so let's move on to create a record for you, here, in the system. However, based on your records here, the warranty of your product has already been expired. This is a proper expectation that we no longer provide free technical assistance for out of warranty devices. However, if you still really wanted to proceed using this router, I'm afraid sir that the router that you have is part of our first generation routers. meaning to say aside that we no longer manufacture this kind of routers, we no longer also provide any updated firmware for the router that you have. so might be sir the the last option that I could provide to you is you might try to consider upgrading to a newer router so that it won't have any conflict with your modem. So,
04:00
Speaker 1
What did you say? Where can I find the documentation? Yeah, and what is that? What is the address? support.linksys.com.
06:00
Speaker 2
If you want to use, try to visit our support.linksys.com website, we have documents there that'll try to help you reconfigure your router, but then again, we cannot guarantee that troubleshooting may not work because the router is already an old version router, sir. There is a link, documents that you can try not troubleshoot the device, it will help you troubleshoot your device. You can try, sir, open a browser and go to support.linksys.com and then you can search your model number of your router.
06:00
Speaker 1
I've been trying to go to this website, the 192.168.1.1, and then log in. But I can't I can't get into that website. Are you all having technical issues at lensnessS? Say that again. Yeah, and I'm having And that's my problem, right?
07:00
Speaker 2
the website. I'm, the local access is working fine. You need to make sure that you are connected to the Linksys router's Wi-Fi before opening the web page. So you can open it, you need to be connected first to the Linksys Wi-Fi, or the router's Wi-Fi. So you don't need to have an internet for you to be.
07:00
Speaker 1
Beatboxing. How do you connect to the Wi-Fi router? How do you reset it? Is that just pushing that button at the in the front of it? Yeah.
08:00
Speaker 2
To be able to open the web interface, as long as you're connected to the Linksys Wi-Fi, without internet or with internet, you can open the web interface or you can open the website. You could, uh, you may try to check, sure, what's the Wi-Fi name for your Linksys router. Did you try to reset the router, by the way? Uh, you need to push and press, uh, press the reset button for at least couple of seconds, like 15 to 20 seconds, and then that's the moment that the device will be reset. So, setting proper expectation again, when you try to hit the reset button, what you are going to do is you're going to reset your router settings, meaning to say, it includes your wifi name and wifi password.
08:00
Speaker 1
So hitting the reject button is different than unplugging it and pulling it back in. And that's different than hitting the reject button? Okay. Because right now, when I pull up Wi-Fi on either phone or laptop, I'm not finding the my Wi-Fi connection at all. I know, right. But I but I
09:00
Speaker 2
Sir, what uh that kind of troubleshooting is what we call um power cycling the device unplugging and then re plugging it. You're just basically rebooting the device. Yes, sir, they are different. Mhm. Go ahead. Okay. Go ahead. If you have your wifi name last time sir again if you're going to hit the reset button there the name of the wifi will be deleted. It will be into its factory default wifi.
09:00
Speaker 1
I haven't hit the reset button yet and I still do not see it. So does that mean hit the reset button? [silence] Okay. [silence] Static static static. What's reset what?
10:00
Speaker 2
Now, if your wifi name is not showing, that might be the problem or one of the reasons why internet is not working. So, for that, if your wifi is not broadcasting, you need to reconfigure your host system. So by doing that, you need to set it up again from the beginning that you have set up your device. Yes, sir. Reset button and then set it up again. But again, uh, troubleshooting might not work anymore for the router that you have sir, because this is a first generation router. You have a uh, brand new modem that is Wi-Fi 7 capable already. Your modem sir, is already Wi-Fi 7 capable. However, the router that you have is a first generation, so we recommend that you
10:00
Speaker 1
What is four and seven. Okay. Yeah, it is. Why was all of a sudden it's been working all the way up until today? Why all of a sudden does it stop working?
11:00
Speaker 2
is not working anymore, once there there will be an update going on with your modem even if your internet service provider did not heads you up that they're going to upgrade something, the moment that they're going to upgrade something in your modem, they automatically, the link router will be disconnected. So once the router is disconnected by that kind of upgrade going on, uh, there is a hard time for us connecting back your router to your modem because of the compatibility. That's the reason, sir. Okay. Modems upgrades are the one that's having an issue with the older or the uh older devices for routers that we have. Anything else sir? Okay, thank you so much Sir for your time. If you needed it again an assistance, you can always call us back. All right, have a nice day. See you bye bye for now.
