Speaker 1
And it gives me a white light saying everything is fine, which is not the case. And this is an ongoing problem with this. not now, the primary unit is working fine. It is connected and those units are working fine. Everything is switched now to the primary because the satellite says that it is functioning correctly based on the lights. Obviously I can't look at it, but the main module or the app says you're not connected. I have an internet, I have an internet on the prime. The second, the satellite unit, I do not have a connection. It appears, uh, based on what the system is telling me. The child node is white. But nothing, but nothing is connecting. Nothing will connect to the satellite, even though it says it's white. every. Well, in this particular case, I have not done anything this time. The last time I had issues, I went through the whole reboot process. I then went through it with you. [silence]
01:00
Speaker 2
Okay. But what, what's the color of the child nodes? ... Solid red. Okay. So it it, it it's actually online. Um, the only issue you have is the Linksys app is showing you different. Okay. Um, and what have you done so far, sir?
02:00
Speaker 1
your support group and we completely deleted everything in the module in the satellite and went through that it works good for what three days and now we're back to the same problem again. Right. And it won't reach. That is correct. It says that I'm not there and based upon all my devices that are connected to the system, all of them that were on the satellite have of course all switched to the primary with the lowest yeah, to the parent unit.
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Well, technical issue. The main issue right now is that you've lost connection with your child node. Although it's showing solid white, but it it um, it indicates disconnected on your or offline on your linksys app. Uh just give me the of the okay. I'm. Okay. Let me just need.
03:00
Speaker 1
yeah that's that's boards and that's fine chuck is fine Yeah. part of them were connected to the child node for about I don't know, but at least a couple of days, I would assume. And then um I was checking the system to make sure that everything is working good. Now that we've thought we had it all fixed. Uh it turns out they are not, um because like I say everything's shifted back to the parents and the system says it's connected. The app says it's not connected. It doesn't see it. It says it's got a problem. Um and I haven't changed anything on it since we set it up and I haven't even tried to do another reset because this is the this was the original original problem. And when I had called into you guys the the
04:00
Speaker 2
Some of them were previously connected to the child now.
05:00
Speaker 1
what I did do is I couldn't even get it to reset correctly and you guys um you know the the lady I speaking to, I can't recall her name. Um worked me through a whole okay walked me through another way to do it and we did it and it re-established. Um but now we're back in the same boat again. And my signal strength was decent. I mean it was it was it wasn't 60. I mean so we weren't at the far end. We're about 54 to 55 uh from a dB signal strength standpoint and like I say the system says I'm good I'm working um but we know it's not.[ silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, sir. So here's what we're uh here's what we we're going to do now, sir. Um let's try to make it basic first. You know because
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay, let me run over to it. I'll disconnect, wait a couple of minutes and then I'll be right back to you then. Okay. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So, let's work on with your child node. Let's go and unplug it from the power source. Wait for at least 2 minutes for the child node. Before we plug it back into the power source again. Mhm. Okay, sir. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
OK, I have disconnected it from the power source so it's, it's sitting idle for, um, two minutes. OK, I can do that. OK. My biggest concern is, if we get it working again, how long is it going to last? Because it seems to be chronic.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay, sir. I have a timer here and I'll just inform you when to plug in back your child node. okay? all right sir. so let's give it some time, mmm that uh also, uh well, is this the second time that it happens sir? like the last time, is it the same condition? like the child node shows solid white but it's not connected?
08:00
Speaker 1
It's happened two times prior to me calling in and I was able to just I was able to reset the unit and establish like it was a new node again and it worked fine for four or five days and then that happened twice and then the third time it wouldn't let me do anything and that's what I called for technical support because I couldn't even reset it. Um and she walked me through the process a diff-the process differently than what I was doing and we were able to re-establish it looked good. Uh and she was said, well, signal strength may be a problem. So I moved it around the house a couple times and it disconnected and it reestablished fine, looking for where's a better signal and and it seemed to be good where I had it. And then um it's.
09:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Uh-huh. Mhm. I see. I think we come to you after our call with an update or and then also if you are able to, uh I'm happy to accept a call. Mhm. I see. All right.

Thank you so much. [silence]

It is connected again with a white light. Let me see if I can get into the app and see what the app is telling me. It still says the only has one. The system says there's, oh, well, maybe we're good now. Okay, it did re-established where I stuck it just to do what we need to do the signal's a little low though. I need to move it again back to where it's supposed to be. But I had to put it where I could reach it to do something. But it says it's established now again. [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. All right, sir. All right. So it's it. Uh-uh. Yes. OK. That's good to hear, sir. For now, sir, I want you to observe the child node again. But in the event
15:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay. All right. I'll watch it again. Uh, I'll make I'll make sure it's in the yeah. For the moment we're good. I just didn't wanna I was gonna do a reboot but because it's recurring. I figured I need to talk with you guys cuz I know I'm getting close to my warranty date which I don't want to have an issue either cuz I don't want to have to buy another satellite.
