I had to install a new Spectrum modem yesterday and, uh, I'm having trouble connecting to my internet and we think it's the router. Um, when I run the diagnostics, it says, um, that there's no internet. The router's not recognizing the internet. So I could use some help. [silence] Um, yeah, hold on one minute. I gotta find it. Um, all right, wait a minute. Okay. So, the serial number is uh, one for y 100 J as in Josh, 0 B as in boy 425 111.
07:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry to hear about that ma'am. May I have the serial number of your Linksys router? [silence] All right.
07:00
Speaker 1
Yes, yes. I don't know. I think this is the only router. Say that again. OK, I don't see that on oh wait. Yes, now I see it. I took a picture of the router, because it's in the basement. I'm in the kitchen. So yeah, I can see that.
08:00
Speaker 2
Let me verify the serial number, again, the serial number is 14 W for yellow, 10 J for John, 0 B for Bravo, 42-51 for 11. Is that correct? Alright. And your only have this Linksys router or do you have any other nodes? Alright, let me see. So your router model is AE6350. That's the model. AE6350. That's the model of your router.
08:00
Speaker 1
yeah okay i can confirm that yes yes Yes? carry Tailor carry with C A R R I E. cat. C as in CAT. Yes. Yes? the account is under my husband's name. Does that matter? Brad Taylor. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
So that's a classic router from Linksys. It's from E-Series. Before we proceed. can I have your name first, ma'am? Carrie? Z as in zebra. Carrie. Carrie Taylor. All right, thank you, Carrie. And your email address, Carrie? Let me check. It doesn't matter since since it's your husband. So since it's your husband.
09:00
Speaker 1
Kuno Carr. Yes. Yes, that is. Yeah. [silence] No, it's a new modem from my internet provider. Yes. Yes. Spectrum.
10:00
Speaker 2
account. The one showing on our system, the email is b. taylor atcorncar.com. That is all right. I put it in. You mentioned Kerry that you have a new modem from your internet service provider or it's just a new internet provider? All right. So it's the same internet provider you were using before your router or got disconnected. It's just the modem that changed. What was the name of your internet provider? All right. Kerry, since it's only a change of modem, you didn't change your internet service provider. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so here, here's what's interesting. So I do have internet connection. My husband had four Wi-Fi options in our house. So, two of the Wi-Fi options I can see is available to me. It's the Wi-Fi options in another part of the house that are not available to me.
11:00
Speaker 2
it's still spectrum. So I think uh you will have to do uh reconfiguration on your router because of the change of modem, so your router was set up previously with your previous modem, so that's why you could not uh get any internet connection. as your router was set up with your previous modem. So you will have to do a reset on your router and do a reconfiguration or like setting it up again. but. Yes.
11:00
Speaker 1
So do I still need to do a uh router reset? Yes, yes. Yes. Yep. But in order to use my printer that's in my basement, I need to act, uh access the basement Wi-Fi, which I don't see as an option anymore. Yes.
12:00
Speaker 2
You mean to say you can still uh see the Wi-Fi name of your router? The previous is it the Wi-Fi name of your router? And when you connect to it, were you able to connect or access internet? And Hello. What you want to use the basement Wi-Fi. Uh I I'm getting confused. Uh Carrie, you only have one Linksys router and that is the MQ9. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
Yes. No, it is not. He he named it something different. Um, so I you don't think that I would have two routers in my house, would you? [silence] Upstairs. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
and it'd 62 50 right? So there should only one Wi-Fi RF name or network that is being broadcast by your links RF router which is links S 25 people one. that's your Wi-Fi network name right? Okay so No because you're saying that you have two Wi-Fi name a Wi-Fi from the basement and then Wi-Fi from your so that's where I'm getting confused. is your maybe your spectrum is a modem router type. If your spectrum is a modem router type then that could explain why you're having two Wi-Fi names. It means that you, that your framework is, stretching dh Brigada, transforming network name and their spectrum out is also broadcasting another vertical network name. Because since you only have one links to father, it should be only broadcasting one Wi-Fi network name, which is the Lynx 25 mobile one. But since you add it, that name, then the one that you customized, that should be the only one Wi-Fi network that should be broadcasting. Now if you see that there's a Wi-Fi or another Wi-Fi network name, it could possibly be the spectrum routers sky fire name. But it's your talking about or you cannot connect to your wi-fi when you're on the basement. Then that's another thing. But you've mentioned that there are Wi-Fi available.
13:00
Speaker 1
So, I've been on the phone with Spectrum. Yeah, I I agree. So my problem is my husband is not here to ask these questions. And so I'm trying to, um, figure this out on my own. Um, so
15:00
Speaker 2
My My My Adding in the basement. I don't know why my name is. That's where I'm getting crazy. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Right. So you have to ask Spectrum if their modem is it a modem or type only bag or is it a modem router type because if it's a modem router type, then it only means that your Spectrum modem also broadcasts a Wi-Fi network name. But if it's just a modern bags, then only your Linksys router can broadcast a Wi-Fi connection because that's the main function of our Linksys router. It broadcasts Wi-Fi internet connection.
15:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay. Okay. So the router is online. Okay. Well, that's because I've connected it with the ethernet cord. So my router is connected to the modem. [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
[silence] because it's showing here on our system that your Linksys router EA6350 status is online. So it's connected. [silence] Mhm. [silence] You can access it. [silence] [silence] Mhm. [silence] Your router is online. [silence] If it's disconnected, it should show the status is offline, but it's showing here that the status is online. [silence] So it means it's still connected to your Spectrum modem. [silence] Despite being [silence] [silence] Mhm. [silence] Yes, it's, uh, yes, uh, it should be because your router will not broadcast a Wi-Fi or your internet without connecting it to your Spectrum [silence]
16:00
Speaker 1
So, up until yesterday, my modem was in the basement of my house. It was not connected to the router by an Ethernet cord because my router was two floors above the basement. Yes. Correct. Correct.
17:00
Speaker 2
modem. That's the purpose why when you bought the road, there's and a cable on the back when you bought it. Because your router should be connected to your Spectrum model, because it will get the internet from your spectrum model and then the router will then broadcast it, your Wi-Fi through the whole your house. That's the function of the router. So, uh, that was your previous setup. Your router was never connected to an internet cable.
17:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So the the spectrum modem router type is broadcasting a Wi-Fi name. Okay.
18:00
Speaker 2
your spectrum modem is a modem router type, which means it also broadcasts a wifi network name, and your Linksys router was connected to your spectrum wirelessly. So that could be the reason why you didn't need an ethernet cable connecting your router to your spectrum. Because your spectrum modem is a router type also. So it also, in a way, broadcasts a wifi network name on its own. Yes. And since you could not connect it's on the basement. That you could not connect and your Spectrum modem is in the basement, then you need to contact your Spectrum about it. Since your Linksys router upstairs, you can connect to it with its wifi name. Then, you can connect your other router to Spectrum.
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Alright. I'm not sure this is total totally helpful, but I will call Spectrum back. Okay. Thank you very much. Have a good day. Bye bye.
19:00
