Hi, thank you for calling Linksys. My name is Josh.

Speaker 1
So, I've got the links, I've got Linksys routers for my, uh, Wi-Fi system at home. And I've got the Linksys, uh, you know, the little white boxes. And then I've downloaded the Linksys app. So, the Linksys app seems to be going okay, but the problem for me is the parental controls. So, when I try to lock the parental controls, it doesn't work. I get lots of issues. So, when you go to the app, then you go to parental controls, you add your devices, so I've done that. And then when you go to the parental controls, and there's a little button that you press on and off, you can toggle it on or off. When I press, try to press it on, it doesn't work. Or even if I do manage to press it on, if I check back two minutes later, it's off again.
01:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. [silence] Mm-hmm. [silence] Mm-hmm. [silence] And when you say the parental control doesn't work, you mean that when you try to post the internet, your devices are still able to connect to the network or to the internet? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I see.

Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] it says checking, checking, checking, but I can see current version and I can see model. [silence] I believe it is. So I'm guessing that's the one that's the first in the series. So that is 1.1.6.2.15952.
25:00
Speaker 2
can I have the current version of the parent node?
25:00

Which one, sorry? The one I bought myself. Ah, the child nodes, yeah. Okay, yeah. Yeah. So the model number for the first one was, uh, which is the parent, MX5500. The one I bought myself, which is the second one in the series is Whiskey, Hotel, Whiskey, zero three, Bravo, small V for Victor two. And the last one is MX4000.
27:00
Speaker 2
both of the child nodes, like, you can also, uh, go to the, yeah, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Thank you so much for that one. So, uh, for this one, sir, like going back to the main issue, um, is it possible to reset this main node, sir? Since we, we're still getting the same error message even though we already tried using the web user interface to, uh, use the parental control feature. However, you mentioned that you have already rebooted the parent node. So this time, we're just going to manually restart the main node manually using the process of
27:00
Speaker 1
Yes, but once I reset, we'll get cut off. Yes. Yeah, mobile data. If you wanted to call me. If you wanted to call me. [silence] Call me. Call me back. Yeah, if you have data on your phone as well, like maybe. [silence] Yeah, so much [silence] Yeah, that's through my work laptop. So it may be better to phone me there.
28:00
Speaker 2
I assume you are using the Wi-Fi calling for this call, correct? Yes, sir. I see. And does your phone, like, have a singular data or mobile data, sir? Yes, sir. Don't worry, if our call will be, like, get disconnected, rest assured that I will process it. I will process a call back. I'm going to use your phone number that is recorded here, so it's plus 3 3 1 8 56 77232. Is that correct? Oh. [ silence ]
28:00
Speaker 1
uh, through my uh, my phone, my personal phone. so, it's uh, so it's a UK number and it's 0- 0-7-7- 6-6-2-9, 3-2-2-3. Yeah, so do you want to ring me on that and then I'll turn off the node? And, uh, do you know the code for the UK? So it's 00 44 and then you drop the zero off my number. OK.
29:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. May I have it please? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. All right. So, your preferred callback number is- sorry, 0 7 7 6 6 2 9 3 2 2 3, correct? Yes, sir. I will be like calling you with this call-back number and wait for one to two minutes, okay? Yes, sir. We have it here on our end. Yes, sir. That's correct. And [silence]
29:00
Speaker 1
So, so I now, I pretty much hang up from this and turn off the parent node and then you phone me back. Do I turn it off and turn it back on? Okay. And where do we think we're going to get to with this, realistically?
30:00
Speaker 2
no rest sure that you will yes sir, there's a rest your no needs are finally rest a parent no. So, for rest, press and hold a reset button and wait for its light to turn to solid blue. So, once you see the solid blue, that's the time you release that reset button. All right. Now, for this one, sire, if the issue persists, like if we're still getting the same error message and if the parental control is not working, even though we reset this parent node, I might need to check this one with my senior technician to see if what we can do about regarding with this issue. Since pretty much we already tried everything. Uh though the last thing that we did not do is resetting the router. Because that's one of our...
30:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So I'll go now. I'll do that and you'll phone me in, say, five minutes. Okay. Speak to you in a bit. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.
31:00
Speaker 2
last troubleshooting steps for this kind of issue. yeah, sir. Yeah, sir, 2 to 3 minutes, rest assured that you will receive a phone call from me after 2 to 3 minutes. All right, thank you again so much for your cooperation, sir. You're most welcome. You may now end the call, sir.
31:00
