01:00
Speaker 2
Hi, thank you for calling Linxsys. This is Regina. How could I help you today?
05:00
Speaker 1
Well, it's just the TV keeps saying that there's a, a wireless connection problem. And it'll come back after a couple seconds. And sometimes it just loses that signal completely. So, those are the problems I've been getting. And I have to admit that there's other devices that are connected to the same router that don't have.
06:00
Speaker 2
Now, what kind of issue sir?
06:00
Speaker 1
My [silence] have the issue um, but I it's only the TV and frankly I spent 30 to 45 minutes or more on the phone with Samsung today and uh uh they suggested that we call the our service provider which I've done and they connected the uh wiring and the signal to the modem and it's fine and they can't go any further than that. Uh and uh but the Samsung folks suggested that I would would call and talk to you guys about um uh whether there's if this device is being blocked by the router somehow and that doesn't even sound like a thing to me, but uh I'm just trying to follow their instruction to get to the next step. So, um, is there any way you guys can kind of uh look at the device. Okay. Yeah. It's Ron Lachlare. Which is L A C L A I R. 760, 271, 196. It's R O N B O 7753 at gmail.com.
07:00
Speaker 2
I already apologize sir, but we don't have a remote access at the moment.But let me just gather your information including the router information to create a record here in our system.So may I know your first name and last name? The luck player and your callback number. [silence] How about your email? [silence] And how many links is router?E5D5
08:00
Speaker 1
Just one. Yes. Let me get closer because it's kind of small print. And I'm an old guy. Uh, 5 0 U 1 0 M 1 3 C 0 0 8 1 5. Yes. Spectrum. According to uh the the uh Linksys dashboard I've got here.
09:00
Speaker 2
I do not have run serial), okay, so the model number for your Linksys router is an MR. 2000 and who is your Internet service provider? And how many devices are currently connected to the network, wired and wireless?
09:00
Speaker 1
Here it shows 11 devices connected. Yes. Uh 3 feet. It's very close. Yeah, that was part of the troubleshooting thing is we have a TV on in our bedroom, which is on the other end of the house. And while this TV was having a signal problem, I walked in and showed her that the TV in the bedroom is still connected. So it's like uh, so the wifi router's still working. This TV's further away and it's got a signal wifi signal. And the one that's right next to it's not connected, so I think the problem's in the TV. But I couldn't get through uh, [silence] Keywords: AirPods, troops, AirPods Max, audio output, left channel, right channel. **Summary**: - The audio visual feedback isn't functioning properly as intended. - Initially, only sound from the left channel is audible, but when testing the right channel, no sound is coming from it. - Further testing reveals intermittent functionality of the right channel. - Despite adjusting the device, the issue persists. - The problem is likely hardware-related, not a firmware issue. - The user expresses frustration and disappointment with the Apple support experience. - The user plans to document the problem and gather evidence to support a warranty claim. - The user is considering options for a replacement, including the possibility of returning it to the Apple store or contacting third-party support for diagnosis.
10:00
Speaker 2
and television-connected wirelessly and how far it is from the main router. Sir. Well, it just. Mhm. It just. Mhm. So, are you. it's.
10:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. yes. Yeah, I've, I've done that, and it, it shows like 500 uh, I do a speed test. I can measure this. I did the speed of your, the device's currently getting, and I used the test with fast.com, and it comes up with uh, uh, something on the order of, you know, 500 and something megabits per second. Yeah. three times. okay. It's still doing the upload speed test, and that's about um, 22, 23 megabits per second. And it's not done yet. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Set up three feet apart from the router. Do you have a phone or a device in your hand? Can we do a speed test? Yeah. But since we are on the line, Daniel, try to do it, and let's try to observe it. Try to run a speed test three times. So 223 Mbps. And for the second time.
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay, let me do uh so it's the um the downloads 580 uh megs. and the upload is 21 megs with um uh latency of like 13 milliseconds it says. So let's run it again. It came up with 580 um again for uh for download. Um still testing upload, but it looks like it's gonna get something on the order of what 20 megs per second. Here we're mostly interested in the download. Yes, this is with my phone, yes. I'm running your Linksys diagnostic app and the third time, it got 570 megabits per second. So, it's 570, 580. I think we have a 500 megabit connection. So, it's the correct speed for for what we're purchasing.
12:00
Speaker 2
So this is wireless, this is your television. So you are currently doing a speed test using your wireless television, which is your Samsung. Okay. Okay. Since it's doing good, do you have any computer or laptop in your end, which we can use to access a web interface to.
13:00
Speaker 1
there's I i Pads available. Yes. Okay. My wife's going to get her iPad. I can't mind to see if I can see it. But yeah, what what do you want us to look up?

15:00
Speaker 2
Open Google, then on the address bar type 192 dot 162 dot 1 dot 1.

Speaker 1
Uh, what does it want? Recovery key it's asking for. Oh. I gotcha. I'll go in. new admin password and Hit and hint. Do I need to do that? Okay. Okay. Yeah, I don't know what that is.
17:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so it's asking you to create a router password to log in. So the recovery key is labeled underneath of the router, sir. Don't worry, it won't affect with your wi-fi password. We just need a router password to log in. Okay, create the new admin password. Hint is optional. Make sure to follow the requirements on creating a router password.
17:00
Speaker 1
But let's see. I think I created one. I think I created one for this device last night, so let me use the same one if that's okay. Or something similar. Oh, I did, okay. Okay. Let's try it. Because it's, I, I keep these the old-fashioned way. Your password can't have the same character twice in a row. So it didn't accept it. Oh, okay. At least ten characters. Oh, okay. It's les- I thought it was more than ten that it wanted.
18:00
Speaker 2
10, to 12 characters with an uppercase. Okay. Yes, you can. But make sure it will accept. [silence] Make sure there's no the same. Yeah, make sure no the same characters.

23:00
Speaker 2
And kindly provide a firmware version. Okay, so it is 1.1.5.210166. Click OK. So that you can go back. And then scroll down to the very bottom. So, you can see a C that is too small, sir, on the bottom. Two caps lock letter C, A, like California. Now click OK. So that you can go back to the main page and scroll down on the very bottom. Yes.
23:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Uh, see network settings. Wi-Fi settings. Gotcha. There's uh, for both of them it's Net gear 43. Net gear is all caps.
24:00

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now, what is your Wi-Fi name for the 2 and 5G bandwidth? Okay. So let me just confirm, sir. You have the same Wi-Fi name and password with your NIT Gear? Okay. So regarding with that, I totally, sir, it is not really recommended to have the same Wi-Fi name for your NIT gear. [silence]
24:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it's just a Wi-Fi name that I think everybody has on their phone that's come to this house, so we sort of just kept that name, you know, for [silence] for [silence] for [silence] for [silence] Poland. It sounds like then, then everybody that would come over with a phone that normally connected here would have to know that new network name, is that correct? [silence] Yeah. [silence] Um, we could do that. Why [silence] Do you think this is a problem or [silence] why [silence] Why are we doing that? [silence]
25:00
Speaker 2
Our network, because we're not able to recognize if it is your link disk, browser, or link network. Yeah, but of course, if you're going to change your Wi-Fi name and password, all your devices that are currently connected will disconnect. And you need to individually reconnect them to your new Wi-Fi name and password of your link network. Would you like to do that, or? Yes. It might. Yeah, it might. [silence]
25:00
Speaker 1
Okay. and how do I change that that name? It's got, it brings up the password screen but uh that's on the Wi-Fi set. Uh Oh. Uh
26:00
Speaker 2
Sure, but of course if you're just prefer to use this one, you can still just change some of the Wi-Fi name. How about this? Can we make just add underscore 2.4 for the 2.4 GHz band of your Wi-Fi name. So Netgear, blah, blah, blah and then underscore 2.4. Uh, just click the last digit of the Wi-Fi name. Did you click? Yeah, make sure to go to the Wi-Fi settings on the left side below Troubleshooting.
26:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'm not, uh, oh, Okay, maybe, I gotcha. I think I've got the, I've got WiFi setting screen up now and it's got the WiFi name, a password and a number of other things, uh, quite a few other things. Yes, yes. So, you want, it'll accept the, uh, the period, the point? That without. I did underscore, and I did 2.0. Yeah.
27:00
Speaker 2
not on the right side, because you cannot click that one for the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz band right? okay now for the 2.4 underscore 2.4, yes but you can make you can just put there dash or underscore 2.4 or just 2.4 okay
27:00
Speaker 1
Okay. And now I say okay or should I say apply? okay WPA2 personal so I should change that to five or something okay okay
28:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, so maybe just add underscore five with your Wi-Fi name for the five gigahertz band. [silence] And then for the security mode, click the drop down arrow and select WPA two slash WPA three mixed personal.
28:00
Speaker 1
Okay. 0.4. It is 43. Router is applying the changes. We might lose everything. I mean, yeah, yeah. I know.
29:00
Speaker 2
And just make sure to use the same Wi-Fi password to all of the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz. And then once done, click apply to apply the changes. Okay. And while it's applying changes, you can also restart your television. Your Samsung. Yeah. Your Samsung.
29:00
Speaker 1
I think this was connected to the five uh five gigahertz all right so now the network status is of course an error because it's changed there it is it was 43.5 i guess password was
30:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, so everything are disconnected, sir. So kindly connect the Samsung television to your 5 gigahertz band. [silence] Yeah.
30:00
Speaker 1
Thank you. It's connected. It's connected, yes. I.
31:00
Speaker 2
Is your television can connect to the five gigahertz band? And I'd really apologize sir, but you need to connect your other 10 devices to the network.
31:00
Speaker 1
Yes. How? Okay. Okay. Okay, very good. Well that's a minimal, but [silence] we will. Okay. All right. I appreciate your help and uh... [silence] 137. [silence] 16567. [silence] Oh, 137 [silence]
32:00
Speaker 2
And I would like to set an expectation that since 5 gigahertz band will provide a better speed, connect them with your 5 gigahertz band. But then there are some devices here that won't connect to 5. So you have other option which is your 2.4. That is your second choice. Okay. And then? Yes. And then of course, observe if your Samsung television is still experiencing buffering issue, then don't hesitate to call us back. So I will provide your ticket number. So it's your welcome, sir, and just use your ticket number 137666. Yes. So, sorry, 137 then 666. [silence]
32:00
Speaker 1
0. Oh, that's an ominous number, but. 1. All right, glad I got it corrected. 2. Yeah, that's all right. 3. Well, we'll see. 4. The TV's working, but it's an intermittent problem, so we'll just have to watch and wait and hope we don't have to call Samsung. 5. But I do appreciate your name. 6. You've been very, very helpful and patient, so we thank you. 7. all right. 8. Thank you. 9. Bye-bye.
33:00
Speaker 2
yes. I don't really apologize sorry, I don't have authority control for that ticket number. Yeah, but don't hesitate to call us back, sir, if you need more assistance, so I guess we're okay now, right? yes, of course, we need to observe. Okay, so hopefully, you're welcome, Ron, and thank you so much also for your time and patience while we're doing the troubleshooting process. So bye for now and take care. You're welcome, bye.
