01:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. So, you moved to a new location or new house. I see. So, you need to reset and set up your Linksys mesh system again. But may I know your, if this is your first time contacting us for support? Mm-hmm. And are you calling from your- sorry, go ahead. Yeah. And are you calling from United States? May I know your first name and last name? And your call back number just in case this call will disconnect.

Uh, first and last name, Brian Joss at gmail.com. That's correct. gmail.com. Yep. Uh, three. Yes, it is, uh, two zero J one zero, M 27 A zero one, seven, two five. AT&T.
02:00
Speaker 2
How about your email, it's Brian.j.f red, red, J for Juliet, A for alpha, S for Sam, S for Sam G mail.com. And how many Linksys routers do you have in total Brian? Can you please provide the serial number of the parent node or the main router? And who is your new internet service provider? And model number for your Linksys devices are all W, H, W, W zero, one.
02:00
Speaker 1
Uh, WHW03, yep. So the the main one is uh like a solid blue turquoise? That one is working. Yes. Child nodes are not working. Um, one of them is also blue turquoise, so that's a good sign. And then let me check the other one. This one is solid, like kind of blue turquoise as well.
03:00
Speaker 2
What is the current light indicator of your Linksys devices? solid blue it's working am i right? do you have internet connection? what the child mode? what are the light indicator of the two nodes? [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so when I go to the app though, um, now it says they're all connected. Yeah, they just said that they were off. I wonder if whenever I restarted it, if that fixed something. Are you able to see if they're all receiving internet? It looks like the office has only two out of four signal strength. Okay.
04:00
Speaker 2
They're all solid blue, which means you're working, you're connected, right? [silence] I guess it's too far. [silence] Are you connected, did you connect your router wireless? So if it's wireless, there might be an interference that caused the issue. And I would like to set an expectation so that due to the firmware update, the router is no longer visible on the linksys app. So you can still manage the routers on the linksys app, change its Wi-Fi name, and Wi-Fi password, but it shows offline due to its firmware. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
I do. Okay. Okay. I'm there. Yes. Mac. Okay. All right.
05:00
Speaker 2
but we can still manage your router settings on the web interface, do you have a computer or a laptop in your end? Yeah, you can actually look for mesh devices from Linksys, but if it is working, if it's still working in your end, so, you can you can still continue using it. So let me guide you on how to access your web interface. Can we grab a computer or a laptop? Okay, make sure your laptop is connected to your Linksys network. Is it the web interface? Is it a Windows device or a Mac? Okay, Mac. Can we open Safari or let's just say Google first?
05:00
Speaker 1
O.K. and one, nine, two dot one, six eight dot one dot one Yeah Yes. Yes. it's primary IP O.K. is Yes it's yes it connects over my [silence] home network.
06:00
Speaker 2
okay. And then on the address bar or URL bar, type 192.168.1.1. and then enter. 192.168.1.1 but is your laptop or your computer connected to the parent node, which is your linksys network? and is it Google?
06:00
Speaker 1
Google Chrome. Yes. Let's see. Yeah, it doesn't. Oh, it's loading. So it can't be reached. One second. Should I try the 192.168.1.1? Amazing. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
OK. How about my router dot local? [silence] I can try to use Safari. Except for that one, Since you cannot reach the page, try to use myrouter dot local.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay, that looks like it works. It says V-lopt. Okay. And then it wants me to put in a password. Uppercase? Oh, okay. It doesn't like that. So let me, I think I might have set up.
08:00
Speaker 2
yes. Try to use admin first, all lowercase. The default admin password all lowercase. [silence].
08:00
Speaker 1
password here. Yeah, it doesn't like that either. Uh-uh. That'd be the main router. The main one. Okay. Okay. All right, one moment. Now it says I have three bars in the office, so maybe it's getting stronger. I'm connecting to
09:00
Speaker 2
So, admin doesn't work? How about a password on the bottom of the router? [silence] Yes, but if you forgo it, sir, just click on forgot or reset password. Don't worry for that one. It won't affect with your Wi-Fi password. The router password is different from your Wi-Fi password.
09:00
Speaker 1
It doesn't like that password. So maybe I'll just reset it. Okay. Now it says admin password, so just do admin.
10:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Now you can create your own share. Make sure to follow the standard rules on creating a router password.
10:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it looks like it got me in there. Um, and I'll change the password here. Yeah, I'm on the page that you mentioned, so, um, yes there are. Okay. Uh, no, you've been very helpful, thank you. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Okay. And then go to device list to check if there are three nodes connected. Okay. So, which means your router is working. It's just due to the firmware updates, the WHW 0 3R. Is no longer visible on the Lynx's app. They are there, but then it shows offline. So, you can still manage your router settings on the Lynx's app, but better to manage it on the web interface. So, is there anything else that I can help you with? Okay. You're welcome, sure. And if you need further assistance, just feel free to call us back using this ticket number.
11:00
Speaker 1
134696 okay all right um and then i mean is the is there a better wi-fi option that i should be looking into during these? Yeah.
12:00
Speaker 2
136946 136946 So make sure to check your signal strength to -65 dBm with indicator. So if you're going to click each of those nodes, you will see the device information, including the signal strength or the RSSI. So the lower, the better. But if you really need to place that node on a specific location, better to have a -65 dBm. Lower than that is better. And for the signal strength, you can actually do a speed check using speedtest.net.
12:00
Speaker 1
Oh, just in general, a speed test? Okay. Sounds good. Um, yes, it looks like if you're okay waiting, we can just see what it, what it says real quick. Yeah, looks like it's somewhere in the 120Download. 125. 130. Is that pretty good? Uh, no, I'm I'm, uh, I'm at the, I'm the furthest point away and it says 130Download. There's a gig.
13:00
Speaker 2
Yes, in general. Speedtest.net or fast.com. Yeah. Kindly search speedtest.net and then click go to run a speed test. But are you closer? Are you closer to the parent node? Okay. That is still good. And may I know your Internet plan or Internet speed subscription? One gig.
13:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay. [silence] Yeah, it's a lot better. [silence] Like 700, 750. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
CAN WE GO TO THE PARENTS NODE, SIR? SLOW SIR. YES. OKAY, 750 IN BPS, IT'S QUITE GOOD. BECAUSE ACTUALLY, YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET 50 TO 60% OF YOUR INTERNET SPEED SUBSCRIPTION SIR.
14:00
Speaker 1
All right. Thank you for your help. You as well. Goodbye.
15:00
Speaker 2
due to the firmware, no, not the firmware, but due to the interference that you might encounter. So you mentioned earlier that you are in the farthest location from the parent node. So when you are getting closer, you've got a at 750 in bps. But for the meantime, observe your connection. And if there's an issue that you're going to encounter, don't hesitate to call us back. Okay, you're welcome. And thank you so much for your time while we resolve this and have a great day. Bye for now.
