Hi, I was calling, I'm actually an MSP supporting my client and we are calling because the guest Wi-Fi network that we have configured on our Linksys router is not working. Like it's showing up for people to be able to select it but when they select it, it just spins and spins and spins and never lets them connect.

10:00
Speaker 1
top of my head I'm trying to find it and I'm not seeing it readily available but I can get it for you. No, we want it on and operational. The only note I have here is internet provider is MHCV, which I don't recognize. So maybe that means something. No, Mike Carl Tango Victory. Um, I'm not sure how to...
11:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Do you want your guest network instead to be turned off? Okay. All right. So yup. Uh whenever your your guest network is it showing an open network? [silence]
11:00
Speaker 1
Tell that are you able to walk me through that yeah okay I do and I can get myself into the router settings give me one second I got.
12:00
Speaker 2
I will just walk you through instead to the user interface of your router and then you will see your configuration under guest section, guest network. So do you have a computer or iPad? [silence] Let me know once it's ready.
12:00
Speaker 1
Yeah let's soft and loading. Okay I'm in there and the guest access. Okay Now what you would like me to do? correct. Yep.
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay. you're log in to the Web user interface of the router. Okay. So perfect. So under guest network, it's already turned on, right? And you have your own password. Can you see that? Own password configured. now go to connection.
13:00
Speaker 1
Uh only check box is oh edits. I'm sorry. Okay. You mean to disable then the IP versus six. Okay. Are we going to turn this back on or is this going to stay off. Let me check one second. Sorry, I wasn't the person to configure.
14:00
Speaker 2
Conectivity tab. and go to Internet Settings. go to the IPv 6. and have it unchecked. So tick the box or click first edit and have it unchecked. yes. and hit apply after. Stay off just disable that. Thank you.
14:00
Speaker 1
I've got the network. I've got the network on my phone. S I'll just double check that. So, that's all right. That's all right to go. I'm here. Give me just one minute. I If I disable this, is that the only change we're gonna make? in the world, we need to test the guest Wi-Fi or will there be other changes that are needed? Just taking off the I think, yeah, does it okay is it like restarting the router? Oh, let
15:00
Speaker 2
And there's no other changes. So you can actually enable it and disable it anytime since you know how to log into your router settings, Amanda. It's safe to have it disabled. Mm-hmm.
17:00
Speaker 1
doesn't bring down the network anytime I toggle it on or off, no. Oh, so? Well, I just, I guess I was under the impression that these settings are for the secure network so wouldn't that be disabling the IPV6 for the secure network as well? [silence]
18:00
Speaker 2
No. No. It's like this. That feature is added in our routers to protect our users. If ever they wanted to. Yeah. If they have visitors, because that's a total separate network of the router. In fact, it has a different IP address. When someone will try to access your routers while they're connected to this, they can do it. because it's a total separate network. [silence] Uh, don't worry about the IPv6. That's just a reserved IP address IPv6 for max out. And I believe you don't have a 100 devices or more, right? connected to the Wi-Fi.
18:00
Speaker 1
okay. okay. okay. Okay, I can make that change. Unfortunately, I am not on site, so I won't be able to test it here tonight. But I can email them and have them test first thing in the morning. So I can go ahead and do that. And then if I need to make any other adjustments, well, first of all, if if it breaks something, which I don't know that it will, but if it does, I can come back in here, turn it back on and there won't be any internet loss for them while I do that, correct?
19:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so yep, improving IPV6 helps a lot. It helps the traffic of the internet, not too, not that much. We also recommend to turn that one off, if ever our customer is experiencing dropping of internet, anything that is related to connectivity. So it's okay to have that one just disabled. uh, okay.
19:00
Speaker 1
Okay, perfect. Okay, perfect. Okay. So I can turn it back on if I need to and then I can call back but I just, I won't be able to say, oh yeah, it's working now tonight cuz like I said, I'm not on site. So, um, okay, that's fine. I'll go ahead and try that and then if I need to, I will give a call back in tomorrow. Perfect. Beautiful. Thank you so much. Thanks. Bye.
20:00
Speaker 2
Mhm, as long as you will not pass the reset button on your router, it will still go work. The all the configuration is still saved. Mhm, correct. Ah, sure, we're open up until 11:00 pm. You can then tell us. Bye for now. You're welcome, Amanda. Bye bye.
