[silence] [silence] and we've had this um we've had your service for our Wi-Fi and what happened was um I have a Tesla and we can't get the Wi-Fi like outside our house like normal and um we actually have spectrum with the modem but we have our own router and they told me it's the router that gets the Wi-Fi out um so I need to either get a higher power or check what's wrong or why you know when you pull up to somebody's house their Wi-Fi comes up but ours link speed doesn't ever come up [silence] that um I can't get like my Tesla when it have to upgrade like your phone.
01:00
Speaker 2
Oh, okay. So, uh, you're having some issues with your wireless signal. So, um, but your internet is working right now. It's just the wireless signal. [silence]
01:00
Speaker 1
There's no Wi-Fi connection outside our house, no matter how close I park my car to the house. And so, when I call Spectrum, they said, "Oh, it's your router then." So, I had to call you. No. My Tesla has to be connected to Wi-Fi to be upgraded. So, when I tried to get onto any Wi-Fi, like, I got onto the neighbors' and they gave me theirs, which was good for a while, but I don't want to borrow theirs. We should be able to just hook up to mine. So, when I called Spectrum, I thought, since we have Spectrum on our cable TV and our Internet, I thought it was theirs, but they said, "It's your router that produces the Wi-Fi [silence] like further." So...
02:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So, you mean to say your Tesla is that the phone? Okay. It is the Tesla no it's okay. How far is the Tesla from the golf course?

It's like, it's like, it's like right outside the door, probably 15, 20 feet, 15 feet, 20 feet. You know, like, when you pull up to anybody's house and all of a sudden their Wi-Fi pops up on your phone or your car? Links never pops up. Yeah. It never pops up here, no matter where I drive down the driveway around the house down the bottom right in front. It never pops up. I have to try to add it and then it goes around and around and around and it won't add. But yet, when I pull up near here, everybody else's Wi-Fi pops up. Okay, I'm not sure what is well

Yeah. Mm-Hmm. Mhm. Yeah, how long have you been using this router, ma'am? Okay, so you had it for four years. All right. Okay. Okay. So, ma'am, based on our system, by the way, the device is already out of warranty. Okay. That's cuz it all it it only has one year warranty from the date of purchase. Okay. So yeah. What we can offer is our website. Okay. It shows up that it
09:00
Speaker 1
Mhm. mhm. mhm. support link. Okay. Dot com. silence
10:00
Speaker 2
It's out of warranty, that means it's no longer covered for free, technical support. However, we can give you two options for this. Okay, so either you go to our website, which is support.Linksys.com. It's for free. So what you can do on your end is actually to access the router settings and make some changes on the wireless channel, okay? And maybe you need to update the channel 'cause by default, it's set to auto. Okay, if you change the the recommended channel is for the 2.4 GHz. So, we we may need to change the channel from there. You can also take advantage of our AI tool at the bottom right. So, it's from that page. It's from that website. The website is support.Linksys.com now. Okay, so the second option, yeah. Support.Linksys.
10:00
Speaker 1
uh-huh, yeah, mm-hmm, so, it's sounding like we need to buy a new router.
11:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. l-i-n-k-s-y-s.com. So the second option, yeah cuz this router is one of our end-of-life routers. So uh yeah. And the second option is our paid connect service which will cost you $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] So this is just a one-time payment of $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] lasting for [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] minutes of troubleshooting. So this service ma'am is not refundable. So you may try our website first. That would be support.linksys.com. Well another option ma'am is to upgrade your router. Because this router W-R-T-A-C-M is as I mentioned earlier is one of our end-of-life routers. And this is just dual band gigabit routers. For newer routers right now.
11:00
Speaker 1
Mm-hmm. And would you know the price of those? Or would that, is that a one-time payment? Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you very much then. Uh-huh. Okay. Bye-bye. Thank you. Bye.
