06:16
Speaker 1
A personal purchase, yes.
06:27
Speaker 2
Um, here's the thing, um, Ms. Zoella. Um, the router that you have right now is actually already part of our end-of-life devices and end-of-support products. products. Based here on our system, the model of the device that you have is an EA7200. It's actually already part of our end of support products, which means we no longer provide
06:31
Speaker 1
So you're telling me you can't give me any help?
06:55
Speaker 2
any. Unfortunately, ma'am, we don't really recommend buying the router to an associated
06:57
Speaker 1
So can you just off the top of your head tell me what's going on with it?
06:58
Speaker 2
seller, because most of our products are being sold through online retailers like Amazon, on Best Buy. We can only provide support or assistance if you have a receipt of the purchase. And if you say that you just purchased it from someone on your neighborhood, that means it's already been a couple of years. You probably need to reconfigure this router, like reset
07:10
Speaker 1
You know, I did reconfigure everything at one point, or she did it for me in order to get my printer to work.
07:39
Speaker 2
it back from its default settings and set it up again from scratch. I can send you an an email for the troubleshooting steps that you can perform and you can have this as your guide and reference on how you can set this up.
07:44
Speaker 1
So you're telling me that I have Internet issues because it needs to be reconfigured? I am online.
08:07
Speaker 2
Yes, ma'am. Like, you need to access the web interface for you to set this up. Like, once you reset the router and it went back to its default settings, you need to connect to the wi-fi and access the web interface for you to follow the um wizard setup i mean set up wizard and uh set up your router for it to go online i mean the router yeah well i see well as
08:14
Speaker 1
I just get these drops. Yes, I am online presently. I finally got my printer to accept its, well, it connected finally.
08:48
Speaker 2
for this if you wanted to connect your router i mean your your printer uh sometimes printers only connects to the 2.4 frequency band, which, well, considering the age of your router,
09:01
Speaker 1
Yeah, she came over and connected the router to the printer. And so I don't know what else is going on, other than when we went to make a Zoom call with my group, it kept saying no internet.
09:16
Speaker 2

09:39
