This is links to technical support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a links specialist. Hello. Hello, sir. This is Mark from the links level 2 Tech team. This is the best time to call you back. All right, sir. From what I can Yes, sir. So, from what I can see, sir, the initial reason you call this is because you're experiencing intermittent connectivity with your MX-600 mesh system. And uh, I think this ticket was previously handled by level 2 as well. And and you close that on [silence] I'm sorry. You were testing the, or you were testing a device or what device?
00:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Uh, but, yeah, nothing seemed to be working what they, when they're trying with resetting this, resetting this. resetting this. So, I'm trying to find a different solution. Um, like now I'm in my office. If I, if I step back two, I probably lose a bar. Like, right now, I lose a bar. Now, I move back forward one step, I get back my three bars. Um, so, my signal would be choppy, choppy at times. If I step outside my door, I lose my signal for WI-Fi. So, I'm not sure if I need to add another, another, child node to my system.
01:00
Speaker 1
Do you have a device sir? Is that a phone or a laptop an iPhone or an Android phone? Hello, sir. Yes, was that an iPhone or an Android phone which iPhone model? You have three notes in total, sir. and what's the behavior? All of them are wired and have a white light. Yes, sir. I'm still here. So, the nodes are connected wired, and at the moment, all three nodes have steady white light. And, I said from this, uh one bar when you go outside the office and then when you go inside, you get the one bar that you lose outside. Uh, what else are you observing? [silence]
02:00
Speaker 2
Yes, yes. Well, I'm experiencing where when I'm in my office, if I move one step, I'm on the phone or doing something. The the phone start to browse because it doesn't have the internet or weak signal and I have to move to a different part of my home just to be able to hear the person talking on the phone because of my signal has gone bad with a Wi-Fi. Yes.
03:00
Speaker 1
Did you, or what exactly is happening, sir? Does it completely disconnect the device from the Wi-Fi, or it's a. Okay. But when you reconnect the device to the Wi-Fi, does it reconnect immediately, or what?
05:00
Speaker 2
Doesn't completely disconnect it's just the person can't can't hear me or the signal is in and out when I'm talking. And then um when I move back to location, it gets back a good signal on the wi-fi. [silence] move two steps forward to a certain location. The internet is super good again and you could hear me. Everything is good. [silence] It doesn't just completely disconnect. It's just where my signal is choppy to people.
05:00
Speaker 1
Is there a specific location in this house or building that you're the office.
07:00
Speaker 2
[silence] from my office. I was in my office. I moved two steps back. I lost the full bar up on top. I just had the small little dot and one. I don't know if you could hear me. Could you hear me? I can hear you now. I moved again, and now I'm getting the three bars back at the WiFi bars.
07:00
Speaker 1
the actual phone or are you on a an application and then is there a note in the office or what's how far is the closest note? OK. So there's no note in the office, but it's 25 ft from the closest note to it. How many walls are separating? OK. One wall between the office and the the living room nodes.
08:00
Speaker 2
Yes. One on my phone. One on my phone. no. The distance between me and the nose is about uh 25 about 25 feet. Yes. One wall, one wall. Living room, yes. Yes.
08:00
Speaker 1
25 Fever... this living room no, this is the pair node. The living room node is that the pair node? Pair notice a loss.
09:00
Speaker 2
You're going out. No, the parent node is in a closet.
09:00
Speaker 1
Are there devices you think we should expect to connect to the Pereno node? I mean to the Wi-Fi of the Pereno node. Uh, well, you mentioned that the Pereno node is in the closet. So, are there devices close to that closet that we can expect that they should be connecting to the Pereno node? About how many devices are we talking? Okay. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Yes and yes. Yes. yes
10:00
Speaker 1
we have a network administration. And then, so there's Network administration, then look for Diagnostics. [silence] and there's the option to send network logs. You gotta send it twice. After sending the first one, send it again. [silence] All right, let me check. [silence] oh, uh, since you're there. sir. on the, uh, yeah, since you're, you, have the app open. uh, go back one page. let's go to Wi-Fi settings. what are the options you have? should you have m L o DFS node steering, client steering
12:00
Speaker 2
Wi-Fi servers this. Wi-Fi settings okay. Okay. Nice security type WI-FI, mode channel, find her dynamic frequency.
15:00
Speaker 1
Security Wi-Fi mode or security type. What is the security type? Oh, not necessarily. Multiple selections. Yeah. Let's go to channel finder. There should be this toggle button, sir. That says auto channel finder. Is it enabled? Okay, that's right. [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
Of the security types. Click on that. It has, it says multiple selection. Yes, that's what it has. Yes. No.
16:00
Speaker 1
And take a look at this. Okay. Now, based on the logs, there are devices that are getting signal strength that are beyond the acceptable tree threshold. Now, these are probably the devices that are. Not getting pretty good signal. One trick that we can do is to have those devices forget the Wi-Fi and then reconnect it. Because for these devices that are getting signals that are beyond acceptable threshold, there's a possibility that it's not connecting to the closest node to it. So to rearrange the way it's connecting to the Wi-Fi, have these devices forget the Wi-Fi and then reconnect. So, when you have a device forget the Wi-Fi, what will happen is that when you select the Wi-Fi, it will ask you to enter the password again. It said the password again before it can connect. And do you have a... well, when I checked the logs here, there are devices that I think are far from whichever note it's close to. So, if you can add... I'm not sure how the nodes are positioned, but how many floors do you have in total? Oh, two. So, how are the nodes positioned? The...
17:00
Speaker 2
okay. So adding a. adding a flood know to my home wouldn't do no difference. to go upstairs and to downstairs.
19:00
Speaker 1
One upstairs. Downstairs. Okay. So the parent node is it in the Freeze. in the downstairs. So the one in the upstairs is a child node. Okay. Why child node? So this node in the upstairs is this position like in the very uh open area living room. Okay. Uh I think
20:00
Speaker 2
It's in the closet downstairs. (close instrumentation). Yes, it's wired. (close instrumentation). It's in an open area. (close instrumentation). It's in the living room.
20:00
Speaker 1
What you can do instead is this if you can add one node to the network then maybe uh put two nodes upstairs and then I think the best position is to uh I see. Mhm. Okay.
21:00
Speaker 2
Well it doesn't do me any good because not much people is upstairs. No one no one really goes upstairs. The only thing upstairs is a TV, two TVs, no one TV that uses the Wi-Fi and a sound system that uses the Wi-Fi. Every so often when my sons them come home, they use their TV in there, but they're not they're not home. They're all in college. So upstairs, I don't need two Wi-Fi router upstairs cuz upstairs the signal is good.
21:00
Speaker 1
It should be on the apps. So if you go to the device list. If you're in the device list, what it should show you is the signal strength of the device when connected to a node. Then it should somehow show you which node it's connected to, either the parent or the child node.
22:00
Speaker 2
How could I tell which device is connected to which router? Yeah.
22:00
Speaker 1
and how much is or what's the numbers are like should say negative something negative like does it not show you that [silence]
23:00
Speaker 2
See, I got two amplifiers downstairs and it's showing, it's, it has one, two, it's like, I can't see how much bars there's showing there. It's one, two, three, it has a fourth bar, but it's not showing the fourth bar. Negative something, Right, sorta. 0 the upstairs receiver is showing all four bars on the Wi-Fi to the, 0 the, 0 to the node that is connected to upstairs. The, 0 the downstairs one they're showing. 0 two of them and I have these two amplifiers are sitting right? Let me see downstairs here downstairs. 0 I have something also upstairs. 0 Arrow 100.
23:00
Speaker 1
okay okay okay okay okay okay okay that's what i'm saying sir there are devices that are not connecting to the closest node so try to have that TV forget the Wi-Fi and then reconnect it re-enter the password in in that way
25:00
Speaker 2
So, like, my Android, I don't have an Android mobile, but it says I have an Android mobile, I have an Android TV, but that's showing that it's connecting to upstairs and that TV is downstairs. Okey, which is Pankko-Kcakom? is
25:00
Speaker 1
Open the browser.
27:00
Speaker 2
Okay. It says your connection isn't private. Continue to 101 unsafe. [silence] Okay. [silence] [sound of computer] [long pause] Hello? Hello? Huh? Hello? Hello? Hello?
27:00
Speaker 1
Yes. So do you still remember the router pass for me? Well, let's try to log in to and see if that is true. Uh, you don't remember creating a pass before? But uh, [silence] Forgot. [silence]
28:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Access your router. I did all of this already and whatever you're going to go do here, it didn't work because somebody else did the exact same thing you're doing here. One second, I gotta go getting a password from that, from one of the notes. No. [silence] I remember creating it last year when I log into the links from my mobile phone.
