Speaker 2
[silence] Plug directly to the wall outlet. Okay, so may I ask sir, did you attempt to reset your linked nodes before contacting us for support? So for three notes. So which means you, yeah. Which means you press and hold the reset button each of the nodes for let's just say 10 seconds to 15 seconds. [ silence ] Okay, so let's proceed to set up your linked router. Gently press, release. [ silence ] the reset button of the parent nodes, five times within five seconds.
09:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Let's see. It's kind of a a
10:00
Speaker 2
not too slow and not too fast. [silence] and what is the light indicator the parents no doubt

Speaker 1
[silence] Greenish color. No. Say that again. It's just kind of a bluish greenish color. Yeah.
11:00
Speaker 2
blinking. Is it currently blinking after you press release the reset button of the parent node? Is it blinking? What is the light indicator of the parent node? solid green. Check if you can access the internet using the Wi Fi name and password of the parent node.
11:00
Speaker 1
let's see, let's see if I can go to my settings on my phone here. OK, let's see. This one is the 8-4F. Oh, why does my phone keep doing that sorry? [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, connect check. by using the wifi, by using the wifi name and password labeled on the bottom of the parent node
13:00
Speaker 1
Just guest password set up and everything. But let's see if you can log in yet. [silence] Hey. Okay. So my wife was able to get on. Okay. So how do I tell if the nodes are working and how do I set up a um, guest password? Uh, green. Yeah. Yeah. Press and release, press and hold for 20 seconds.
14:00
Speaker 2
child nodes. yeah. for the main one what is the light indicator of the child nodes? the two child nodes. they are still solid pink? two? the two child nodes? okay tell her reset the child nodes again sir press and hold the reset button each of the child nodes for 20 seconds. yeah each of the child nodes. the gift already reset both the child nodes. [silence]
15:00
Speaker 1
blue and kind of flow flash. Uh, a model number on this one. It's W-H-W-03-V2, same as the other one. Um, uh, let's see, probably 10 ft. each of them kind of evenly placed. Okay, it's, uh, oh, oh, really? Okay.
17:00
Speaker 2
[silence] What is the model number of the child nodes, sir. Okay, that's good. And how far are the child nodes from each other and also from the parent node? Okay, it's too far. Can you please move them about 2 or 3 ft apart for the set of process? [silence] Move the child nodes 2 or 3 ft apart from the parent nodes.
17:00
Speaker 1
I don't know if I have anywhere I can put these in. maybe kind of loose. Okay let me go get the other one just a second. [silence] Okay.
18:00
Speaker 2
Cardano's vision is to be the financial operating system for the Internet. We see DeFi (Decentralized Finance), or also known as open finance, is going to be the way in which assets are transacted, traded and shared going forwards. This is an inspiring idea, of course, that things that used to be issued by authorities, like currencies, now will be online and able to be shared broadly by open and secure platforms like the one built on the Cardano blockchain.
18:00
Speaker 2
Okay, what is the light indicator of both child? And make sure, sir, they are on the same room with the parent node.
19:00
Speaker 1
the other one's kind of pink solid and I can see that under my networks on my phone on wi-fi I think something happened to this other node now that I unplugged it. It was working fine and now it's not. The reset mode didn't work on it.
21:00
Speaker 2
okay, so it might, it might that the other node still blinking. So let me know once they're both solid red or solid purple. Is it plugged in directly to a power outlet, or wall outlet, directly pressed on hold the reset button of that node and described the light indicator, I will let you know when to unplug, or and release the reset button.
21:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it's uh, turned solid a couple times and now it's shut off. Now there's a very light, not very bright, but a little bit of a blue light on it, as I'm holding it. Do I keep holding it? What's that? [silence]
22:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's go. Release...
22:00
Speaker 1
Now the other one that's purple says no internet connection available. [silence] Yeah, it's lights not coming back on. [silence] Let me try this other one I have. [silence] It's not, yeah, it's not doing anything. [silence]
23:00
Speaker 2
It's OK. It's ready for setup. So let's just wait for the other one to turn solid purple or solid red so that we can proceed to the setup process. Can we cover the light indicator on top with your hand if it is blinking?
23:00
Speaker 1
It was working, but now it's not. Okay, let's proceed without these two, this other note. I don't think it's going to work. At least we have one. Yeah, sounds good. [silence]
24:00
Speaker 2
Okay, can we turn off that one for the meantime and set it aside? Okay, so this.
24:00
Speaker 1
The reset button,
25:00
Speaker 2
Time go back to the parent node, then press and release the reset button for five times within five seconds. Yeah, press release the reset button of the parent node five times within five seconds. notice the light indicator. Blinking. can we do it? Can we do it? It's blinking. Is it blinking? Are you sure? Okay, can we do it again, sir, not too slow and not too fast?
25:00
Speaker 1
Two, three, four, five. And I kind of flashed red and now it's flashing yellow. And flashing yellow. Now it's just solid bluish green. It's flashing red. Okay.
26:00
Speaker 2
Okay, check the light indicator of the child node. How about the child node that's right trying to sit up? Okay, it's setting up. So let's just wait for that one to turn solid green or solid blue for three to five minutes.
26:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] it doesn't look [silence] and it's still flashing red on the child node.
27:00
Speaker 2
It's okay. It will take three to five minutes for an
27:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now it's blue. [silence] And now it's flashing blue to red. Let's see. And now it's back to blue. Does that mean it's set up then, when it goes blue? Now it's kind of flashing off and on blue.
28:00
Speaker 2
Nodes here to set up. Observing it. [silence] Yes. Doc...
28:00
Speaker 1
Keep on. What. [ silence ] It's plugged into the wall outlet. It's solid blue now. Is that the color it should be? Say that again. Say again.
29:00
Speaker 2
observe. Observed. Is it plugged in to a power outlet or to a power strip? OK. Yes. Can you please unplug that one & then connect the other node that we just turned, um, we turned off earlier to the same wall outlet? Unplug that node that is already working & connect the other node to the wall outlet.
29:00
Speaker 1
Well, I don't have the other one plugged in just one. I just have one child node and one parent node. So, the the one that we're trying, the the child note is not working, you said? It's not setting up? Or is it set up? It's solid blue now. That mean it's set up? Try and connect the other child mode? Okay. Um, I plugged it back in and it's, then the child node is working. So, I think it's set up now. Now I can plug in the other one. Okay. Um, wait, there'll be two blue lights. It's working.
30:00
Speaker 2
same outlet of that node that is not working regarding where the working one sir since it's already set up unplug that one to connect the other node to the same wall outlet yeah it's already set up it's already set up then proceed to unplug that one and set aside and connect the other node to the same outlet connect the other cell node to the same outlet
30:00
Speaker 1
It's flashing... No it's just a solid like red or pink. The other child node. Yes. Mhm. Should I unplug the other node that we have set up already or leave it plugged in? Okay. Okay.
31:00
Speaker 2
Is it connected to the wall outlet where the other node is working, and what is the light indicator? So, yeah, I asked you earlier to unplug the working node so that we can plug in the, other child node. With the same wall outlet. Now, what is the light indicator for that node now? Another thing is. [silence] you need to press this button here. Press the button on the side to reset it.
31:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] oh sorry. it is. it is plugged in. well no. [silence] okay, now it's flashing. it's flashing blue slowly.

32:00
Speaker 1
the flashing blue. Okay, it just turned on red. Uh-huh
33:00
Speaker 2
so just keep on observing it cause it will take two to four minutes for a Note to fully boot up. okay now go to the parent mode, press release the reset button for five times within five seconds
33:00
Speaker 1
Well, okay, yeah, this, uh, flashing yellow. And now the parent node is, uh, bluish-greenish. And the child node is flashing red. Okay.
34:00
Speaker 2
okay, it's setting up, so let's just observe it for 3 to 5 minutes,
34:00
Speaker 2
And it's still blinking red? Okay. Okay.
36:00
Speaker 1
And now it's, uh flatting. Say that again. I I I already I already did that, but I was going to try and add a guest instead of a like an admin. Okay, it's blue now. Does that solid blue mean it's set up? Um where's the laptop Meggan? I don't know how to put this up on here. I do, so I need audio. Okay. And now we're in the, can you see that upside down? [silence] I have things I do not understand. I would have to say that. And we've got a laugh. Can you also switch out the power source to the black one and have it go in, what's it called, wand mode? Um it's tuned. Um where's the power switch, everything's on? Okay, it's blue now, does that solid blue mean it's set up? Um where's the laptop? [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] Huh? [silence] I think the power thing went off. [silence] what's this, these black things?
37:00
Speaker 2
yes, [silence] Okay, so can you please access the web interface? Do you have a computer or a laptop in your end? And I would like to set an expectation sir that due to the firmware update, this model numbers, which is the WHW03 are no longer.
37:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Say that again? Okay, maybe that's... So I was on and I was looking at that, but I wasn't able to play... do anything. But maybe I can now that I have Wi-Fi. I don't know. Let's go check. Yes, yeah.
38:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Ok, this why this W-H, W-H003 series due to the firmware update are no longer visible on a Linksys app. So, you really need to access the web interface, the web interface of the router to hear, to manage your router settings. Yeah, make sure your computer is connected to your Linksys network and then open a browser. touch Google.
38:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay I'm ready. 1 9 2. Uh-huh.

Speaker 2
okay, open a browser, Google. Then on the address bar, type 192.168.1.1.
39:00
Speaker 1
So it says it not private. OK. here. it's asking for a five digit recovery key.
40:00
Speaker 2

41:00
Speaker 2
The recovery key is labeled on the bottom of the parent's node. Your admin password is actually different from your Wi-Fi password.
41:00
Speaker 1
It says it unexpected error. Visit our technical support for further assistance. 2298. Unplug the what.
42:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, please proceed to create an admin password and follow the standard rules. What is the error? Unexperted error. Okay. Now, unplug the parent node, unplug the ethernet cable from the modem. Unplug the ethernet cable first.
42:00
Speaker 1
Wait, Scott, the car. Oh. What the. The main one coming from the modem. Okay, done? No. There's nothing. There's no light now. Can you give me a timeframe on that? Yes. Just the ethernet cable.
43:00
Speaker 2
uh, of the router? Uh, that is connected to the modem? [silence] Yeah, the ethernet cable coming from the modem to the router. Unplug it. Uhplug the router from the modem. And then what is the light indicator of the router? Is it solid red now? What do you mean for there's nothing? [silence] Did you unplug the ethernet cable? [silence] Uh, just the ethernet cable, but the light doesn't show up.
43:00
Speaker 1
It's not, there's nothing. It's gone dormant, it's not working.
44:00
Speaker 2
It must turn its LED solid red. Then connect your computer to the Wi-Fi name and password of the parent node. [silence] Are you connected to the Wi-Fi?
44:00
Speaker 1
It's, it's nothing. that's nowhere to be found. it's not even coming up on my phone now. No, I didn't. it's coming back on, but uh kind of a bluish green. Yes. Yeah, but I didn't have, I didn't have power. [silence]
45:00
Speaker 2
even if you [silence] it will be off. So, no, maybe unplug the power adapter. Make sure it is turned off. What is the light indicator on your router? Did you connect the ethernet cable back to the modem? You need to unplug that one, Sir. Because we are able to receive an error 2298. That's why I asked you earlier to unplug the ethernet cable from the modem.
45:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It's unplugged and now it's slash and now it's red. Yes. Now it's. Okay, let's see. Okay, it's connected. [silence]
46:00

Yeah, I'm back to creating new admin password. Okay, I hit reset and it kinda came back. Does that mean that it actually took? No. I think it's set. Okay. I did that and I hit reset.
48:00
Speaker 2
So were you able to access the web interface sir? Access one nine two dot one six eight dot one dot one? And then create your own admin password. Use the recovery key labeled on the bottom of the parent node. Is the error two two nine eight still appears? When you try to change your admin admin password? Okay proceed to create your own admin password.
48:00
Speaker 1
Now it's on my phone it's, I'm not able to log in it says I have no Internet. So that makes sense. Okay. Does it mean that I've reset? It just stays on that page when I hit reset. It doesn't do anything. Yup. And I'm on create a new admin password. And my lintless node is flashing red. Is that what it should be doing? The parent node is flashing red?
49:00
Speaker 2
So our um Did do access 192.168.1.1 Again. Then proceed to create a new admin password. Yeah, it's okay, sir. It's okay. Our main goal here is to access the web interface. before we're going to plug that one back to the modem. Yeah, but we can still we can still access the web interface of the router even you doesn't have any internet connection. That's why proceed to create your own admin password. Okay. Can you please exit open the Google again? Make sure it's Google. Then on the address bar, type my
49:00
Speaker 1

Now she had me plug it trying to get access I'm going to have to let you go because we got uh some work we got to do and so I plugged the Wi-Fi uh back into the uh uh modem and it's a solid red now so at least we have access an internet connection but I just won't be able to um update Okay Okay
52:00
Speaker 2
What is the light indicator for parental notes? The problem is that we're not able to access the web interface. And if the issue continues, you really need to reset and reconfigure your Linksys mesh system.
53:00
Speaker 1
No, we need to get to work. At least we got Wi-Fi connection. Okay. Okay. Thank you for your help. Thank you. You too. Bye bye. Okay. So let's go like this one. in here. What is she trying to do? [silence]

Speaker 2
So, would you like to continue the troubleshooting? Mm. Okay, so I guess you can also feel free to call us back, sir, since you still have 20 minutes remaining time. So I will going to take note here that you need to access the web interface. to create a guest network. So, for the meantime, connect the Apple note back to the modem. Connect the ethernet cable. Okay. You're welcome and have a great day. Bye for now. Can you please end this call for me, Dean? Hello?
54:00
