Yeah, we went through the everything plugged in right and every my TV and and everything and unplugged everything, replugged everything in. And he said everything looked good on his side that he thought it might be the router. He said, you have a good router. It is a good router. But um, I still don't have internet except when it decides it wants that just it still don't have internet except when it decides it wants that, which is just real off and on.
04:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay. Okay. Just check... and I just... So they've already checked... have already contacted them right? [silence] When you say Manheim I'm a lawyer.
04:00
Speaker 1
Right now it's red, but yes I do have a blue, normally it is blue. It is red right now though. C A R O L L, D-I-E-B A-L-L at yahoo.com. My name is
05:00
Speaker 2
Is that? When the issue happened, do you have you seen any changes with LED light? I think you have a blue LED light at the front, right? Uh huh. But right now it's solid red. I see. I see. So, um, let me create a case ticket first before we move forward with your concern. No worries. I will walk you through with the entire process if needed. Um, can you provide me an email address first? [silence] Thank you so much.
05:00
Speaker 1
Yes, it is.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. Same on the email. I understand. I see. No worries. This is just used for documentation purposes only because this call is recorded. And in case the call gets disconnected, ma'am, is this the best call back number that I can call you back? Just in case. It's 88587758465. Okay. And since you've mentioned that it is solid red, have you pressed any reset button or did you just unplug it together with your internet service provider earlier? [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
Uh, and it's typically always blue. I don't know why it was just red 'cause, maybe because I turned it upside down. Uh, number. It was probably only red for, since I've been on the phone with you. Uh, just a short time. Uh, It's in another room. I don't come in here and look at it all the time. But uh, it's typically blue. I have looked at it several times and it's always been blue. I think maybe it was red just now because I turned it upside down and was trying to read
07:00
Speaker 2
Okay. How long do you think that you've been read? [silence]. Okay. So, when you say [silence], uh, you, you, you've mentioned earlier that you're experiencing like intermittent connection. Like, how does it, like, intermittent? Um, have you noticed if you, um, if when you're connected to the Wi-Fi you get disconnected and then offline? Or it's totally disconnected?
07:00
Speaker 1
Uh, I'm not sure I understood that question. When I unplug... When I unplug everything. Oh, absolutely. That's why I called you, because I thought it was his... His... I don't know the differences between Internet, and Wi-Fi, and internet and all of that, but I know that I turned my TV on. I just have a YouTube TV, so it's completely
08:00
Speaker 2
to the Wi-Fi and then no internet. Or this- the- when you're connected the internet is slow. Like, for example, um- uh, before- sorry. Um, sorry. Before- before you do, uh, or before you've done any, um, troubleshooting steps with your internet service provider? Before that one? Have you experienced- ing slow connection? when you're connected to the Wi-Fi? How slow- Mm.
08:00
Speaker 1
the internet. It's not cable or dish or anything like that. And sometimes it'll come on and sometimes it won't. I turn it off and come back later and sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn't. And the same thing with with internet for. My phone, my ring, my doorbell ring, doesn't work. Sometimes my phone, I can't can't do a lot of things on my phone. You know what I mean? Just everything. Because I have a phone and an iPad and a TV that I use internet for. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
okay. no no. I see. okay. Thank you so much for that information ma'am. so, um I I'd like to provide an honest feedback as well with the MR7350 that you have. um since you have it for, I I guess quite a while already since it was your husband who actually. Um bought this one. Um as for the as for the connection our router is a stand alone router. Usually for intermittent connection or slow connection it's a good thing that you contacted your internet service provider first because that is what we usually do. We try to uh we have to make sure that on their end everything is actually good. However we usually um we usually verify that one by using a computer that can directly connect to wired to the uh that is just for isolation. But since you've already contacted your internet service provider they check everything on their end which is good that's okay. So we'll proceed with the Linksys router. So as for the Linksys router to address slow internet connection or intermittent connection. Um so far for this one this is actually part of our uh MR series routers so it's part of our first generation of mesh system uh so um in terms of uh software we already stopped manufacturing this one and then we uh we already um in terms of hardware we already stopped manufacturing the MR7350 and then in terms of software um you also already stopped uh sending firmware updates since December um this December 11th of 2024, so more likely is it since it's already 2026, the firmware of this one is has already been obsolete um uh however, however, you can actually still use this one it's just that um what we can do for the troubleshooting is that we can try to reset and then set it up again to create a new connection. with your Internet service provider to check if there is gonna be improvement in terms of the speed, we can only do that far of a troubleshooting to address the intermittent connection, so yeah, we'll probably have to, if you can actually still use this one because because it's actually still working, it's just that the firmware is just faded which usually sometimes address the connection, the speed and then the stability of your router, so in terms of reset, if we will go into troubleshoot this one, um, once we reset it, everything that was actually configured to this Linksys router will be removed or deleted, so, the wireless devices that's currently connected right now will be totally disconnected for the meantime, and then we can set it up again to create a new handshake with your Internet service provider, so we can Can check there's gonna be improvement with the speed. [silence] However, um we'll have to set it up again. You can use the same SSID so most of your devices will be able to connect automatically and then we'll have and then we will let you have it observed for like 24 to 48 hours if there's improvement or if you're still experiencing the same issue because if you still have the same issue, ma'am, what we usually recommend on this one, we can try to escalate it to our level two to perform advanced troubleshooting, but that will be on a much more tech uh it it actually will be much more technical on your side since um they will perform advanced troubleshooting to diagnose the um router. [silence] However, if uh we also have other options for you. You can also upgrade to.
09:00
Speaker 1
I'm sorry. You know, I, I think what, because I already not completely understood everything you said or what that really means. So, I think I'm just going to let you go, and I'm going to call the person that I call when I have issues with a printer or whatever technical problems, electronics issues, and I will let him talk to you.
14:00
Speaker 2
So, newer models for a much more stable internet connection. So, those can be my options based on what you have shared, uh, them earlier, that your husband was more technical than you are in terms of doing all the troubleshooting. So, I can walk you through the entire process for the basic isolation, which is the reset and then the reconfiguration. But if you think that whatever would be much more easier for you? Mhm. Uh huh. Mhm. Okay. Hmm. [silence] Okay. Yes, as for troubleshoot and then reset, then reconfiguration. Yeah. I don't usually promise any time frame but more likely we'll just have to be ready because sometimes it will take a 30 minutes to one hour. I see. Yeah. I guess I think. Yeah. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] [silence] Okay okay uh okay yeah now it's coming in. okay I think if you email me that and then I'll get hold of him because I don't know his email/id.
16:00
Speaker 2
Oh, oh, no. For the reset and then the reconfiguration, as long as you have an active internet connection from your internet service provider, it will only just take 30 minutes to an hour for the troubleshooting. But yeah, I think it would be best if you have someone that can help you out to perform the troubleshooting. If you won't as well, I can send you, I can send you an email step by step for the reset and the reconfiguration and then the possible work around that you can do on the MR75 that you have. You can let you can let that someone to read the email, follow the instructions, but if you, but if you want to have us on the other end as well to assist you, we can you can also give us a call back so we can assist you with the entire process with that someone that can help you. Now.
