But if in case, as you have mentioned, it's just staying on a solid blue light and it's not working, the Wi-Fi is not working. So if in case as we check under a node, if there's like uh something wrong, so we cannot process a replacement or a refund since this is an out of warranty device. But we can check. and again sir, the serial number 20J2060A862751, right? Okay. Sir. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Speaker 2
Yeah, change the Wi-Fi name to the original name and the of course, the password. Just save everything. Let me know if it's done. All right. Can I just wait then? Uh, sir, since you have another WHW - right there, do you want to add it as a child node and as, uh, extender? We can try. Okay. So, just make sure to plug in the child node really close to the parent node. Oh, okay. Since this is your parent node, uh, device, and then you want to add this as a child node to your network. [silence]
49:00
Speaker 1
No, it was given to me, so I can keep it. Okay. Okay, it is plugged in. Uh, like 5 ft away? Um, I think I can, let me see.

51:00
Speaker 2
and then what's the light on it. Let's just wait. Let observe if it will change or not. You can restart it. Power it off and on. Okay, blinking blue. Can we just give it a minute to power up? Okay, still blinking blue or is it blinking red now. Okay.
51:00
Speaker 1
[silence] O, oK, I, ever, slight, shinking, red. Now it's off and the blue light is on.
52:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's reset the child node. Press and hold the button, release once you see the blue light again. But you can see what's happening to the light so I can guide you. Perfect. Let go, release the button. Okay, and then let's wait until the child node light is on solid pink, red, or purple. Okay. It's solid red. Solid red. You'll see solid red and solid. Perfect, now let's try to run the connection. Okay. Okay, I think we made it. Perfect. Nice.
52:00
Speaker 1
It's blinking blue. All right, great, thank you.
53:00
Speaker 2
. Paul just let me know. and while waiting, sir, let me just put this call on hold to check on my resources. I'll get back to you okay? give me a minute. Thank you sir, you're welcome.
53:00
Speaker 1
would you say the child Node is red or pink?
57:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Hi sir. Thank you for patiently waiting. [silence] Hello, sir. Okay, so what's the light on the child node? Okay, solid green. Shit, okay, so thanks.
57:00
Speaker 1
Yes, okay. Okay. It's now flashing yellow. Yes, on the parent node. okay. [silence] All right, sounds good.
58:00
Speaker 2
We're going to add half child no. the fastest and easiest way I do. The five persons on the parent nod again, because this is the fastest to add a child no. the fastest setup also a parent no. So on the parent nodes, reset button press it for a quick second. Let go. Do it for five times. Okay, press the five times. And, the parent, okay, bolt slushing that's good. It means the child no is starting to connect to the parent. It will take like three to six minutes. So let's just wait and observe. So you can have your water right there, coffee. I'll stay on the line, okay? You can just do some stuff right there waiting, okay? Okay.
58:00
Speaker 1
Okay, they are both blue. Okay. Yeah. Same floor. Uh, yes, it's in set of room. Silence.
61:00
Speaker 2
Wow, that's perfect, sir. But let's just give it a minute for that child to have a stable connection to the parent node before we relocate it. Yeah, okay, sir. Okay, and then, sir, uh of course, you will be relocating the child no so it will be, uh, on the same floor where the parent logo or a different floor? The same floor, but is it inside the bedroom? Okay, so this is the way.[silence]
61:00
Speaker 1
I should turn it off now. Okay. Okay. it is off is the I can rewalk earlier now?
62:00
Speaker 2
to relocate a child node, you need to make sure to power off the power switch it's at the bottom of the child node before unplugging its power adapter. Okay, you can start now. You can relocate the child node now. Okay, power it off. Unplug. Then unplug. Then plug in. Power it back on.
62:00
Speaker 1
OK, it is attached to power, I should turn it on. OK. Yes, it is blinking blue. Great, thank you. So, what was the issue that we troubleshot? Hmm.
63:00
Speaker 2
Yes, Ken Lee. And then the child will blink again, cuz it will reconnect will try to reconnect back to the parent, so let's just give it another 3 to 6 minutes again. Okay, start to blink right now. Oh, okay. So let's just give it another time and I'll make sure that the child node is on solid blue before we end the call, sir. And thank you so much for your patience and cooperation, sir. So for this one, sir, because it's just that maybe the parent node, which is the one that's staying a solid blue light, maybe it's just needs to like to be reset. Okay, cuz it's just staying in a solid blue light.
63:00
Speaker 1
[audio begins only after 5sec) Oh yeah that's good something Is it the age of the router that's an issue
64:00
Speaker 2
not connected. Maybe because we have like a firmware update before. So if there's a firmware update, maybe it was then affected, sir. So we just need to reset then reconfigure. And good thing it's working. Thanks. Oh sorry, the line is breaking up, sir. What is that? Uh, yes sir, it might be also- but since firmware is already updated, sir. Um, you can just observe this one. But if you, for example, plan to update this uh node, you can always check our website, support.linxsys.com. You can check for our latest model, sir. You will really be amazed to our, um, the latest model that we have because it works differently with this WHW03. But of course, this WHW03 also is one of the
64:00
Speaker 1
Mm. Right. Got it. I believe so. Um, [silence]
65:00
Speaker 2
fast model that we have before okay this is also well recommended you can still make use of this one because also the price is really kind of expensive this uh WHW03 but for example you want to like upgrade you can also just try it you can get one mesh model one example is the MX6200 that's the Wi-Fi 6 see so you can get for example MX6200 and then since it has higher specification compared to this WHW03 so the MX6200 will play will act as the parent node and these two WHW will act as the child node sir okay but observe the connection for this WHW03 sir still working fine still working good yes sir just observe the connection after do we do the troubleshooting if you have if you need assistance
65:00
Speaker 1
let me see solid blue great thank you have a good one
66:00
Speaker 2
in the future, you can give us a call. Okay? Just simply provide your phone number to pull up your record. So how about now? What's the light on the child node? Mm-hmm . Oh, God. That's perfect. Everything is working right now. So we're all set. Have a nice day. Enjoy the Wi-Fi. Same to you. Bye.
66:00
