03:00
Speaker 1
Yes. Uh, I'm sorry? Let's see. No, it's telemedicine. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
solid blue light, right? And apart from the Wi-Fi connection, do you have a device that's connected wired to the Linksys router is also experiencing slow connection? Is there a device that's connected using Ethernet cable going to the router that is also experiencing a slow connection? So the TV is connected wired going to the router, right? To the modem. I see. Do you know which port where this connection of your TV going into the modem? Because if it's directly connected to the modem, it's getting direct connection from the modem. Have you tried connecting this?
05:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [49 seconds] Well my phone, my phone, um game system and all the TV's are lagging right now. Yes, and one of the one of the TV's that I have outside was getting uh was getting wi-fi and all of a sudden it's not connecting.
06:00
Speaker 2
Computer I mean this TV instead directly to the router is that possible? Got it and do you have a smartphone or other devices that is also experiencing slow connection apart from the TV? Okay got it so there are other devices affected too so here's the plan Miri s all well Uh huh I see got it so for the plan is we can access the settings of the router perform changing channel to optimize the settings for your 2.4 and 5gz since you have two Wi-Fi bands on your link this laptop make sure also to So for Mrs. up to date and we'll try to reset some settings and going back as well for the warranty and support everling sis router if you wish us here over the phone to do the troubleshooting optimizing the Wi-Fi settings we do have this paid support for out of warranty devices so your router has ended its warranty last September of 2002 so for its blah out of warranty devices if you wish us to troubleshoot here over the phone we do have this paid support amounting to $15 it's a non-Refundable one-time session lasting for one hour if we determine your device defective no refund or replacement will be given same with if we are unable to resolve your issue no refund or replacement will be given would you like to avail this paid support?
06:00
Speaker 1
So, it's $15. And it's just to help me troubleshoot? And that's gonna help? So, so how old is my router?
08:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, it's 1.5. Yes, optimize the router settings, Wi-Fi settings, if it's issue. Still the same, after you change it to the channel. The last resort that we can do on the router is to reset it back to factory setting. And start setting it up like a fresh start. That's actually help the improve the Wi-Fi connection. Most likely for the, if we reset and reconfigure the router. Upon double checking it here since it's original manufactured date was year 2021. So running five years.
08:00
Speaker 1
So how long does this router, um, how, how, how long does do they last? [silence] Okay, but it, there's a good chance that I can still get it, [silence] fixed?
09:00
Speaker 2
or six years. It actually depends on the usage of the router. Some models last up to 10 years. It just that this router has one year hardware warranty and free technical support. So it has one year when you got it or it bought before. However, it's already ended, so we have paid support ready for out of warranty. Yes. It can still... Yes, it can still... the workaround that we will try in order to like debug the rose is you can try resetting it to factory settings, set up again the same Wi-Fi name and password, where the...
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so I'm you're going to walk me through this, right? Because I don't know what I'm doing. No, I don't know. No.
10:00
Speaker 2
work with your Wi-Fi settings, then we'll check the improvement. But again, just to set your expectation, if we're unable to fix the issue, no refund replacement will be given for the service. We can actually walk you through how to reset the user, your password. There's a way to locally access your router using a password where we can reset it. Yes. Yes, I can walk you through the process. And do you have a computer that we can use to access your other settings? And how about an iPad or tablet?
10:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] My computer or a laptop. No, I don't have one. I can't use the TV. No. You need to hold the speaker to your ear. Can you hear me? It's working now. Okay, now you have to turn it back. Yeah. one click? No, I'm trying. Yeah, and? so yeah, you have to only let me turn it back to you And then I will turn it back. Keep waiting. Yeah, now I can hear you. Yeah, it's working. Okay. Good.
11:00
Speaker 2
Let me check. How about a smartphone? Cause we may need to one of a device that will help us to troubleshoot the router is a computer or a laptop. I think it's we might be having hiccups or difficulty on accessing the router settings if we can't use a computer or an iPad or tablet. Unfortunately, our TV does not support a web browser interface. But we do have work around that we can reset the router. Then the Wi-Fi password, are you using the Wi-Fi name and password at the bottom of the router? Got it. So, how about this? We'll reset it. Then we'll try other method instead so that it will help.
11:00

40:00
Speaker 1
okay no I don't know if it's that channel, but it shouldn't be the channel. we It's a fire stick.
42:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Your channel, is it connected with spectrum? Yes. If it's connected with the spectrum, something to do with their channel because it's related actually to their service. But, if you if it's already connected to the Wi-Fi, you tried YouTube like apps, like streaming. If it's continuing to load the video on a YouTube app, on that TV, it's actually fine, connected with the internet using your router. It's a fire stick. Okay, and this fire stick is connected now to the Wi-Fi.
42:00
Speaker 1
I believe so. But it's not, it's not all the channels. It's just the ones that like certain channels lag.
43:00
Speaker 2
[silence] [silence] [silence] If you've ring this router right. [silence] [silence] when searching channels, just double check it here. [silence] If it's something to do with uh we already reset the router. Some devices, like for example your smartphone is working fine when connected to the [silence] linksys wi-fi. It might be something to do with the fire stick. [silence] And my recommendation for that is to try check with uh the manufacturer of the fire stick if there's something to do with its configuration, like settings to update. [silence] In order to have the
43:00
Speaker 1
update it the fire stick okay. okay. Just, sorry I can't hear. That's not what I'm hearing. That's why you. [silence]
44:00
Speaker 2
Might be that might be. There is a setting on the fire stick that you need to adjust. And for that, since we're not trained with a fire stick, I can recommend that you may need to contact the manufacture of the fire stick, since it's able to connect to the Wi-Fi. Just it's something log and other devices is working fine with the Wi-Fi. It's just something to do with the TV and the fire stick. Yes, actually, it's fine if you're getting half by Wi-Fi on your TV. 200, let me check. 266 is actually fine. It's a decent speed.
44:00
Speaker 1
So it's not the router. So 565 and 23 upload is fine. Oh. So that's. Okay. All right, so everything is mine. I mean, everything's fine with Spectrum. Everything's fine with my, with with the router. So now the next one is the Fire stick. The [silence]
45:00
Speaker 2
Yes, since you're really set it and your phone able to connect to the Wi-Fi. We also run speed test on the app. It's around 500, so router is already fine. Yes, that's actually fine. I would recommend to check with fire stick if it's something to do with settings or there could be like a reset network on its settings. I'm not trained for that, but you can check with the with the manufacturer. All right. Widgey links.
45:00
Speaker 1
I don't get. I don't get half old that leaves are not. Thank you.
46:00
Speaker 2
try to ask work around from the manufacturer on how to like reset it check its network settings in order to update any settings that causes logging on the channel. All right. I think we're all set, Marisol. And anything else that I can assist you with links your network. All right, so you have 30 minutes left and just that your expectation is only one-time session. If you're going to contact us back in the future with paid support, it will be another session. Okay. All right. This once again, Rebecca I'm sorry, Marisol. Unfortunately, but I'm happy to assist you Marisol. Thank you for your time and patience. This once again, Rebecca. Thank you for calling Cis and have a wonderful night. Welcome. Goodbye.
