Speaker 1
Yes, it's a solid red light. I'm sorry. That I pressed the reset? No. No, I'm when I just on this just on this junction. Yes, and we do have internet because I'm able to direct connect and have internet. So the issue is just the router.
02:00
Speaker 2
So, no internet and just to verify right now, the light on in front of your Linksys' router, it's showing red light, right? And just to verify after earlier since you've mentioned you have called us and the light go, I mean the internet goes out on the router. Did you happen to press the reset at the back on the router or did not? Yes. Uh-huh, after the... no. Okay. So, since the internet on the router is actually depended from your modem and your ISP or internet provider is Spectrum, right? Okay. And right now just to verify that our router still connected wired going to your modem using an ethernet cable. [silence]
02:00
Speaker 1
yes it is. mm-hmm. okay. okay so i plug in the modem to power for
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay, for this one, can you can we can you try again like perform boot up sequence unplug the linksys router unplug the modem and give them two minutes. Then after 2 minute plug in first the modem, wait for a its internet light to show a steady light, then plug in next the Linksys router.
03:00
Speaker 1
So first and then I plug in the router? Yes. Okay. Do I apply the ethernet as well? Okay. [silence] Great.
04:00
Speaker 2
make sure uh they're both already unplugged from the power source right they're already unplugged okay just give them two minutes for the meantime um do not touch anymore the ethernet cable make sure it's still connected to the respective port especially on the lynxis router make sure it's still connected on the internet now the yellow port
04:00
Speaker 1
Um. It has one ethernet port. Yeah, well the ethernet's there and then it's plugged into the router and the router has four additional ports.
05:00
Speaker 2
All right, I think that's all good. You may now plug in the modem first to the power source. And by the way, the ports at the back of your modem. How many ports does it have? Okay, and that's where the links this router is connected to, right? Okay, make sure the only connected as of the moment to the modem is your router, no other device should be connected. [silence] And once your modem shows an internet light, you can plug in back the Linksys router.
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so the router was blinking blue and then it was blinking red. Now it looks like it's a blinking blue. I know it's blinking red again. It's going from red to blue. It's going back and forth. I, uh. Yes, I have. This is a new at-ETHERNET as well. So I'm.
08:00
Speaker 2
okay solid blue white okay blinking red means that it's not detecting any uh like a physical connection or network connection from the modem have you tried changing Ethernet cables before that the cable connecting the router and the modem okay you see if okay cuz if if this continues to happen the links and-router still go offline that means some
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so there's no firmware update and how about like, do I need a maybe reset it or? Is without making it just sounds like, I know it would.
09:00
Speaker 2
Something to do with the new test yourself and upon double checking it here your router is already out of warranty probably it's something to do with its firmware this router actually this model will actually has reach end of life, meaning Ning no longer manufacture this and no longer is seeing for my update. And perhaps it's time for you to upgrade your Linksys router. Let me check it here. If you may try disabling the router, perform back to factory reset. But let me double check earlier you've appeal for the $15 right for the paid support troubleshooting. And did the agent like reset your the router? The factory settings? Did you perform
09:00
Speaker 1
No, actually, all we did was go into the, the link thing sees page where I went into connectivity and after connectivity, I, there was something on the Mac address, it had zeros and so we copied the address or something. Okay. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so you performed the MAC address, let me check it here. Yes, because that will be the next route, resetting the router back to factory settings and reset it up. And if the issue persists, then we can say that it's on the router itself since it's not longer receiving form of update. By the way, if you wish us to reset the router and reconfigure it, it's actually another session. And we may need to have, um.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay, well it's actually blue now. So it looks like it's now working. But um, I guess, what would resetting it do? I mean, do you believe that would help or is it just, would it make a difference?
11:00
Speaker 2
We wish to avail with the $15. That will be our next route. Okay. Mhm. It actually, it actually makes a difference. We set helps um debug the uh error on the router. So it's actually worth to try. If if it still happens again, if it shows a red light, you can reset the router back to factory settings. It will have a fresh start. It's still worth tried. That is all correct. To resetting the, uh-huh, it will delete the information on all on the router settings. [silence] The you will will receiving the email within 5 to 15 minutes, okay? All right, and anything else for links? You are most welcome, and thank you for calling us. Have a wonderful day. You're welcome. Bye-bye.
