This is Linksys technical support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a Linksys specialist. Hello? [silence] Hello sir, this is Mark from the Linksys level 2 tech team. Is this the best time to call you back? Alright sir. Well, was informed that you called back and reported to experience the same issue. About the nodes. Now records show you have two MX6200 nodes. And at the moment, what's the behavior of the light on top of the nodes? [silence]
00:00
Speaker 2
yes uh actually, I'm gonna have to jump in the car in a minute but I can talk. Yep Yeah, I sure do. That's correct. Uh, well, after uh several re attempts to reset them, I finally got them both to The work, but the problem is the child node, which was the parent node that was having all the problems. You guys had me move it to a child node. It lost connectivity. It was, I was experiencing problems with devices dropping off temporarily off of that device. So I went to simply just power reboot it, or restart it through the interface, and then reboot it. And it would not connect. It would not connect after multiple failed attempts. Then I had to end up moving it literally right next to the main node. So it was literally right on top of it. And after multiple attempts, it finally reconnected. But again, I don't know if it's weakening, the router is weakening or what, but it, like I said, is continuing to show signs of not wanting to connect to the parent or to,
00:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I think what it translates to is that this child node had or was disconnected. And then you're explaining that the child node was disconnected or it disconnected from the network, and then you tried to add it back. Uh you even plug it close to the parent node, and it took some time for it to reconnect. And you said that [silence]
02:00
Speaker 2
[silence] that's correct. uh [silence] and it I don't want [silence] it took some time. It it took multiple reattempts. So I I unplugged it, I left it unplugged, plugged it back in multiple times.
02:00
Speaker 1
Okay. But right now, where is that node? Did you plug it back to its location? 15 feet from the parent node? From the parent. Okay, I
03:00
Speaker 2
restarted the the network from the main interface from the main node and it still would not connect. it kept on just blinking red. you guys have all the logs. you guys set it up multiple times to receive logs. so you should have the logs to see what i was seeing, but it would not connect. i have successfully moved it back to the where it was, which is on the other end of the the house, um, about 15 feet away from the parent. 15 feet from the parent.
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay. How many walls or floors are separating? Okay. So, to sum it up, sir, this child node has, or has been, like, disconnected. This was previously the parent node, and... So devices around it experience drops or disconnects from Wi-Fi, so that issues, that issue is not happening around, I mean, with devices around the parent node. Okay. Or have you noticed, if like, the parent node would have,
04:00
Speaker 2
Two walls, Two walls. That's right. Yes, Yes, Yes. I have not noticed that around the parent node. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
If you say, Devices around the channel completely disconnects from the Wi-Fi, then you need to connect by tapping on it again and then entering the password, right?
05:00
Speaker 2
No, the parent node was stable, the parent node was stable. It was all white. It did not, it was still showing white, but I was not able to connect, and multiple devices that were not connecting to it. [silence] Uh, no, they already have the password was already built into the phone or the TV, so I
05:00
Speaker 1
Uh-huh. I wasn't connecting. Uh you're not into that situation where you need to select that again and then it'll try to connect. Then it gives you an error that it can't connect. Have you okay.
06:00
Speaker 2
you wouldn't have to tap on it again per se, it wasn't connecting. No, if, so, so again, on a TV, you don't do that. Like it it automatically has the network programmed in it, right? So it's always going to want to connect to that, that that node, right? It was losing connectivity. I don't know what to tell you, it was losing connection. It would try to reconnect, sometimes it would reconnect, sometimes it wouldn't, right? So I finally got tired of that and I rebooted the device and that's when I noticed that it would not pair with the parent either. As far as like [silence].
06:00
Speaker 1
well, I'm I'm trying to confirm if that is what's happening or not huh. I'll go ahead and
07:00
Speaker 2
on my phone, I can tap the Wi Fi indicator and turn it off and turn it back on but I mean, that's not how you want to sustain your network. Like I don't think I should have to click on and off my Wi-Fi button on my phone multiple times throughout the day or night when I'm sitting there browsing to get connectivity. That's that's that's not how a network's called. I'm losing Wi-Fi connectivity to this node with multiple devices, phones, TVs, tablets. That's what's going on. If I unplug the device, it should reconnect to the parent without a problem. It's 15 ft away. Two walls. It is not connecting. This was the home.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Is there any device that's wired to it? That child no. Okay.
08:00
Speaker 2
parent node originally. And this is the same node that experienced problems going down multiple times. That's why you guys had me move it. To the child. This all should be documented there. Clearly, there's an issue with this node. Because it's now demonstrating problems as a child. I don't know what else. What other picture I can paint for you, but there's obviously a problem there. No, I do not have a wired device connected to any of these devices. My entire house is wireless. [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Now here's what we want to capture. We want to capture the logs directly from that child node, since the parent node is stable. We have the logs of the parent node here, but not the child node. When you send logs through the app,
09:00
Speaker 2
you guys set the logs up, my friend? We've had this conversation a couple times now. And it's, you were the, the guy that I talked to last time. We've tried to enable logs multiple times. You told me they were done and that you would get the logs automatically. So I don't know what else you need me to do, but I am jumping in the car right now. But this is frustrating if you're telling me you don't have the logs from that remote device, or from the child device, because we've set this up, you and I, the last time we spoke. Why not? Why wouldn't you have set, why didn't you set up the logs for the child?
09:00
Speaker 1
because at that moment we're thinking of the parent node to be the issue. so this, yeah, When you send logs, sir, when you send logs, it doesn't include the child node logs. So this time you want to capture, specifically, is when you capture the logs specifically for child node, you need to enter the IP address of the child node, get into it, and then copy the logs, send it. That's what I'm saying.
10:00
Speaker 2
No, that's not true. You knew, no, you knew for a fact it was the, you knew it was the parent that was the problem and that's why you had me move it to a child. So why wouldn't you have enabled the logs on that device? That that doesn't make any sense. You knew that that was the main issue. Okay, how would I know that? How would I know that? How would I know that? [silence] I couldn't get into the node. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I couldn't connect to it. That's why I had to restart it. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
now that it's online again that's the time we can get the logs shall still be there well we wanna know first the IP address of the child node do you have access to the app okay okay if you know the IP address then uh there's a specific URL to do that uh should I just send the instructions um
11:00
Speaker 2
So are the logs still on the router? Okay, so send me the instructions on how to get the logs off and I'll send them to you. I'm getting ready to jump in the car. I just told you I have an appointment I'm going to right now. Yes I can get to the child node. Yes, I can get the IP address.
11:00
Speaker 1
Through email? Okay, got it. Should I call you again? Uh, Uh, All right. I'll, send it through email as well. All right.
12:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. Send me, send me your email with the instructions and I'll send you the login. And then, if you could send me a callback number to call you back because I lost the number from last time. You gave me a direct line last time. But I gotta jump, I gotta jump in my car right now, so I'm gonna have to let you go. So yeah, if you can send me that email, that'd be great. All right, great. Thank you. All right. Bye. [silence]
