[silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Um, I have a, we have a modem through spectrum, but I'm setting this up on my own. Do I have to have an internet? Yes. It's a new modem as well. So, um, I have to contact spectrum to set the modem up? Yes.
04:00
Speaker 2
So it's also a new modem? Oh, did you, did you contact Spectrum first to set the modem up? Kids... yeah, cause this, mx6200 is you the Linksys router. We can set it up, okay? But if you have a new modem, which is Arris, you need to have it checked with Spectrum first, because you need to register that device with them. Are you able to go online using your Arris modem without the Linksys router? [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I mean I have everything properly set up I thought the Linksys was to set up the Wi-Fi. Okay. So how does that uh... yeah. Could I do it from my phone? [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
So did you connect computers straight to your Arris? And are you able to go online that way? [silence] Yeah, the the Lynxs will set up the Wi-Fi, but your Lynx router relies on your modem connection. So if there's no active internet connection with your modem, the router will not work, sir. [silence] The internet will not work on your link on the Lynx router. Now, do you have any computer available? [silence] No, sir. We really need to have a computer for us to be able to verify the connection from your modem. A laptop or maybe a desktop [silence] cuz we cannot hardwire your phone to your modem. So since it's a new modem, we really need to make sure you have active. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK. So, can I get a signal from somewhere else or do I will have to be an actual provider? OK, so I will have to add another modem because I have the spectrum modem but I have my own Airis modem as well. Yes. Yes.
06:00
Speaker 2
You have internet connection with it. The Linksys and your new modem is not plug and play. You need to have that checked with Spectrum first. Because you need to get a signal from them. It should be from Spectrum because they are the ones that provide your internet. If you want to, OK, without the Aeros, if you, if you mentioned that you have a modem from Spectrum, can you go online with just with that modem, with the Spectrum modem? OK, and right now
06:00
Speaker 1
No. No. It's connected to the wall. Yeah, it's just connected to the power cables. Yeah. Give me one second. One. So, Lightsys is basically
07:00
Speaker 2
Do you have your your modem, the spectrum modem connected to ARIS? Okay, so the ARIS is not connected to anything. Okay, so right now the modem... Okay. Okay. All right. So, um, do you have any any computer available, Mr. Jamal? So we can verify the active connection from your internet provider. How many how many MX-62 you have there? Just one. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 1
back up Wi-Fi. So I'll still is that how that works? Okay. Okay. So the app has to be connected through Umm okay, spectrum as well. okay so how does okay so how I got it from, I got it from a family member okay so will this link sys cover the entire house though because I'm that's the problem that I'm having I'm having issue connection issues, because I'm in a multi-family home and in the basement is the router and that's why I'm setting up the link sys to have internet connection running upstairs as well.
08:00
Speaker 2
Yes, but you need to have that checked with Spectrum first. Cause I'm not sure with Ares. Where did you get that Ares? Did you purchase it from somewhere? Oh, okay. Yeah cause if you already have a a modem from Spectrum, sir, you really don't need that RS device. Cause you already have a modem from Spectrum and you also have a Lexus router. Well, [silence] [silence] Boy.
09:00
Speaker 1
so then I would have to go through spectrum to add the modem so it'll be two modems instead of one yeah it's not okay okay I'm on my computer yes I have plugged into the Aeros modem yes for the Aeros modem.
10:00
Speaker 2
Well, this router is, uh, needs to have, uh, it needs to be hardwired to your modem, sir. It can't be like a standalone device, unless you have a wireless repeater. Okay. All right. So, right now, um, do you have the, uh, the Linksys router MX6200 plugged in to the modem? Oh, to the Arise modem or to your Spectrum modem? Okay. Can we disconnect your Linksys router first?
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. What would the Ares come up as? It just would say Ares?
11:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Disconnect the Linksys router. Take it out of the picture. Connect your computer straight to the Airis and check if you can go online that way.
11:00
Speaker 1
you said the Aris wasn't connected. No, I'm not. I'm connected to the Spectrum Wi-Fi, but I'm not connected to the Aris. The Aris is at it's on a standalone by itself right now. It's plugged up into the wall. It's connected to the wall prong that's supposed to, you know, the the splitter and everything else, and it's plugged into the wall and just those two things.
12:00
Speaker 2
If the heir is is uh working sir, you should be able to open any websites using your heir are you able to? You you're not online. Okay, hold on. Uh, can can you can you tell me sir your your exact cable connection there? So you have a spectrum is it connected to heir right now or where is it plugged in? [silence] Are you on the same network [silence] where is it plugged in? [silence] It's plugged in the wall.
12:00
Speaker 1
Yes. The model number, S 33. [silence] So it's not picking up the air. Okay, so so the Linksys will have to go connected to the router. So again, that and yeah, that's, the whole point that I'm trying to, can I call Spectrum and add an additional modem? And then it worked that way and add the, airS to that? Or do I need to, or will the Linksys be
13:00
Speaker 2
It's either you you use your Ares or your Spectrum modem. But since you already have an existing modem from Spectrum, then that's what we need for your Linksys. We cannot use the Ares, it's just a plain modem. Yeah, that's just [silence] your your Linksys router needs to be connected to the spectrum box. You have a modem. What's that?
14:00
Speaker 1
is is provide enough connection stability throughout the entire house to work, as well as the spectrum? [silence] Okay. [silence] Okay, so... [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
Well, we can set up your Linksys router with your existing modem, the one from Spectrum, and check whether you can, if your wireless devices can get enough signal from that wireless router. This MX6200 wireless router, sir, is a, I think it's a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh router. Okay? It covers up to 3,000 square feet. Right? And it handles 200 plus devices. It operates 2.4, five gigahertz and six gigahertz as well. We can try to set this up. Okay? If it's gonna cover all your wireless connection needs.
15:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, and I can connect it to... I can connect it to the spectrum, and... what just know. I'm connecting it... I'm connecting it to the spectrum box right now
16:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Because your Eero is actually it's just a plain modem sir. It acts like the same as your spectrum box. If you're if you're having low signal or low signal from any place at home, you can always add up a node. Child node for this MX 6200. Since this is the same mesh router. So that child node can be...
16:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It's, it's connecting to it now. It's blue on top right now. Solid blue. [silence] Okay.
17:00
Speaker 2
OK, yes, just make sure that you connect it to the yellow port sir, OK? The one that says internet, right above the power outlet. OK.OK.OK.All right. Now, can we power on your a Lynx router and tell me what is the a lead indicator on top? Solid blue. OK.OK.OK.
17:00
Speaker 1
I have a picture of it. Okay. Just press the one.
18:00
Speaker 2
All right. Now, sir, can we take a picture of the Wi-Fi settings at the bottom of your Linksys router? Oh, you already have a picture? Okay, that's good. So now, um, at the bottom of your Linksys, kindly press the "pair" button. The "pair" button is actually below the "reset". So, um, press the "pair" button instead. So now, um, at the bottom of your Linksys, kindly press the "pair" button. The "pair" button is actually below the reset. Yes, just press it once. Yes, sir.
18:00
Speaker 1
do I still need my laptop for this?
19:00
Speaker 2
Yes sir, cause we will be connecting your laptop to your network. Do you want us to personalize your Wi-Fi name as well? Cause by default, uh, right now it's link system dev up, set up. So would you like to change the name? Yes, it can be changed on the app. But uh, we actually suggest uh to use the uh web interface, cause you have advanced configuration there. So you can, uh, yeah, you can separate the network name with the use of the web browser. Okay, so can you tell me the LED indicator.
