Speaker 1
yes, I've got problems with my Linksys mesh system. I've been away on holiday for two weeks. I've come back and it's down and not working. I've got internet access because I can log in to my router okay, but it's the mesh system around the house that's not connecting. Hello? Yeah. Well I don't know, I don't think there was. Um, but uh, yeah, it could have been. Um, but I've got a uh master unit, which is hardwired into my office and that's not picking up a um a signal.

It's not connecting. red. Three. Uh, they're all, uh, red, solid. I'll just check the other ones. Yeah, that one's red. And the final one. Yeah, they're all red. Uh, well I tried the reset button. Um, uh, because I think I need to, um, get to the.
01:00
Speaker 2
what's the light on that one? همه器暫 And how many links and nodes do you have in total? are all three of them sold or flashing I see and have you tried to buy playing and be plugging them just make sure And then she said
01:00
Speaker 1
the master one in my office first. So I turned that one upside down and turned the power off and back on again. No, I have called before, but probably not about two or three years ago, at least. Normally this system has been very good. I have not had a problem with it. That's correct. Thank you.
02:00
Speaker 2
All right. Thank you so much for that one. Before anything else, can I ask is this your first time calling me? I see. Just to clarify, the phone number that you might have called before, was it 0788 5671669? Let me double-check to see if there's a record already created by you.
02:00
Speaker 1
Okay. [silence] [silence] Yes, my first name is John, J-O-H-N. [silence] And my last name is Drewett, which is D for Delta, R for Romeo, E for Echo, W for Whiskey, E for Echo, T for Tango.the T for Tango.
03:00
Speaker 2
Thank you so much for patiently waiting. But upon double checking with the phone number, there seems to be no record created yet on our end. Currently there's no record; I'll just have to create a new one instead. Can I have your first and last name? Uh-huh. Thank you so much. John Drewit. What about the email address? Mhm. Mhm. Thank you so much. All right. Can you provide me the serial number of the Linksys mesh that you have? If they're all the same model, you can just provide me with one. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Hmm just on one of the models okay sorry okay serial number is 20 J 20 80 39 226 30 yes the model number
04:00
Speaker 2
It's located underneath the unit. 20J like Jacob 20803920630. What's the model number of the unit? Silence
04:00
Speaker 1
Is that on the same underneath again or do I look that up somewhere else? Recovery key password name, MAC address, oh, model number, sorry, yeah. And it's plus net. OK.
05:00
Speaker 2
Yes. It's still underneath. Uh-huh. Thank you so much. Lastly, May knows that internet service provider. all right. Thank you so much for that one. all right. Thank you for waiting as well. So in terms of the current models and in terms of the current problem and
05:00
Speaker 1
Yeah of course. I'm I can't get any apps at the moment. Um right. Okay cuz I've got four units actually cuz there's one actually in the next to the router as well. So
06:00
Speaker 2
that you're currently facing with the unit a solid red light indicates they're not communicating with the modem as you also confirmed earlier the internet is already working which is very good on plusnet's end but on your Lenks' router they're not communicating in order for them to work again you need to perform a factory reset on all three of your Lenks' nodes and set them back up from the very beginning treating it like it's your first time having the unit at all so that they can reconmunicate with the plusnet's internet side and will be able to function properly as it should be the best way to reconfigure and set it back up from scratch is by using the Linct Smart Wi Fi app if you have the app the app will guide you from the beginning to the end
06:00
Speaker 1
Do I start with that one?
07:00
Speaker 2
In terms of factory resetting, you need to do it on all of your links just nodes, so that when you try to set it back up, you will always start with the parent node or the main one first. You cannot add or make the others work if the parent itself is not working. [silence] Yes, we can go ahead and troubleshoot now. Once again, factory reset your nodes first. [silence] Yes. When you factory reset.
07:00
Speaker 1
Oh right. OK. So the reset button is underneath. OK. great. Let me just do that for the first one. right. So it's completely gone out. OK. Just got to around the house to do it.
08:00
Speaker 2
To reset your Linksys devices, you just need to hold the reset button until the light goes out. Yes, there is a red reset button underneath the unit, you hold it until the light at the top completely goes out. Do the same thing on the other nodes.
08:00
Speaker 1
Right, I've pressed the reset button on all four of them. Okay. Okay. We'll just do that then.
10:00
Speaker 2
Once you're done.
10:00
Speaker 1
so I've got two parent ones are high hardwired in. So do they have to be just next to one of those? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I've got two hardwired linkage. Does that make sense? Home right, okay. Um, so do I do one and then the other? Or? Okay. Um, [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
it. Once the first one works, we can set up the other one as well.
11:00
Speaker 1
So I'm being a bit thick here with this. So we've got two hardwired links, you start with one of them and then you do the other one, do you? Yeah. I will check. Yeah. So individually connected.
12:00
Speaker 2
Yes. The other hardwired Linksys is connected directly to the Plusnet modem? All right.
12:00
Speaker 1
so, We'll start with one of them, shall we? Okay, I can, can I use the power off button on here? Is there a power? Um, OK. Okay. now, Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Once again, turn off all the nodes except from One. May Lui, unplug it from the power. Once again, unplug, not power off.
13:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so I've got three unplugged and one next to the router which is plugged in yeah. press quick release five times on the reset button okay, and I've got a different color now, which is like an orangey color, and it's flashing. OK.
14:00
Speaker 2
forming what we call the 5 press method. You're going to quick press, quick release, wait a second, five times on the reset button, and do it now, yes, that's correct. All right. Wait for three to four minutes until it's done flashing.
15:00
Speaker 1
So you're based in the US, are you? Okay. I remember some last time. Okay, it was a flash to green and then it's gone back to flashing like a yellow color. Yes. Okay. It looks Okay. Okay. So it's not flashing. I've got this like, a solid green turquoise color. Yes. Good. Time code.
16:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. And I've got a blue color, solid blue color. Okay.
18:00
Speaker 2
Now on that one do the same thing this this second one is still a wired node is that correct okay All right Yes on the reset button All right observe for three to five minutes until it's done flashing
20:00
Speaker 1
Yeah it's just gone to green And it's solid green now. It's not flashing at the moment. So it's a solid turquoise green color now. For the second one. OK.
21:00
Speaker 2
So let me, so let me is it on the first one that we configured? Or for the second one? Second one. If you want to connect them to the second one, turn on both of the child nodes that's not configured yet, near the second parent node.
22:00
Speaker 1
can I turn on one two to each can I connect one to one parent node and one to the other right okay I think it's it might be all right if we do this one so we'll do the first one I'm going to connect is the child to the second node to the second one so do I plug it in and switch it on okay
23:00
Speaker 2
Yes, you can. However, if you want to do it, you need to add them one at a time. If you want to add them both at the same time, it needs to be done only on one node. If you want to connect them to the second node, you just need to turn them on it near the second node. Wait for them to finish rebooting.
23:00
Speaker 1
can I try to do it then? okay. okay, I'll just turn it on. Difficult on a sunny day to see the blinking light.
24:00
Speaker 2
Turn them on next to the second node, Don't do anything else, just do nothing, just patiently sit and wait until that node stops blinking blue.
24:00
Speaker 1
The light on the child note is red. on the second parent node to the 5. again, okay. one, two, three, four, five. the second parent node is now a solid the child node is flashing red.
25:00
Speaker 2
Now, do the five press again on the second parent node. Yes, that's correct. What's happening on the second parent node? What about the child node? Now, wait for three to five minutes until that flashing red stops. [silence]
26:00
Speaker 1
The light from the chart node is flashing red.
28:00
Speaker 2
What's the light in the child node? [ silence ]
28:00
Speaker 1
On my computer, when I look, I've just got the um, the wi-fi still being called Vellop Setup 888. Right, okay. So do I just have to rename it then, do I? Okay.
29:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Yes.
29:00
Speaker 1
Right, I think... okay, the child node has got the same color. Number it's flashing now, at the moment, it's just flashing, it's come on blue now, solid blue. It flashes to green now, and it's solid green. Okay. Right, okay, so I've got one more to do then, haven't I? Right, and will that, so, okay. So, I'll plug this one in.
30:00
Speaker 2
That means that you have successfully added a child node, and that should be it as well. This specific child node is connected to the second parent node. Yes, it's just the same way. Your child node must be on a solid red or solid pink color before you do the five press on the respective parent node.
30:00
Speaker 1
Hold on. Okay, and it's on red at the moment. Oh, sorry, it's on blue at the moment. That's my other child node. So it's flashing blue at the moment. So we're waiting for it to go red, aren't we first. Okay, it's gone red. Right. Let's see.
31:00
Speaker 2
All right. Yes. Do the five.
32:00
Speaker 1
one, two, three, four, five. Just got solid pink at the moment. Okay. One, two, three, four, five.
33:00
Speaker 2
If the fibre preserve was some form of, did not detect properly, you can do the first preserve, again, on the parent mode, one more time. Perfect.
34:00
Speaker 1
And let me just check, sorry I was just checking my internet was working now. [silence] Yes, still flashing. Yes. OK. OK. Checkcall Okay. It's still flashing. Okay. Yeah, it's gone to green now, like a solid green. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, and if not, I will take it back and redo it again with the five button press. Okay. So if I unplug them, move them somewhere else, switch them on and you just wait three to five minutes before they reconnect with your home Wi-Fi, all right.
35:00
Speaker 2
that's completely normal. No worries. Wait for it. It takes, usually, three to five minutes. perfect. So, let them sit there for five more minutes before trying to relocate them. If they still remain solid blue, that already means it's working and configured. yes, that's correct. once again, you need to wait for three to five minutes when you relocate them, so that they can properly reconnect when you relocate them on the spot you want them to be in. we'll go on all shift quickly.
37:00
Speaker 1
Okay. and how do I rename my mesh back to what it was called before? Okay. To rename the the system. Okay. I will do that. All right. I think I'm okay now. I think I've got everything working, which is really helpful. Let me just check. Now let me just check this a minute. It's working fine. Okay, now that's everything. Thank you very much for calling us.
38:00
Speaker 2
Yes, that's correct. The fastest way and the most efficient way is to download the LynxSys app. The app will guide you through it. Yes, that's correct. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. So, is there anything else? Alright.
38:00
Speaker 1
