Yeah, so it is three two, N as in Nancy, one zero, M as in Mary, three C as in Charlie, nine zero zero, one, three, eight. So we had a storm come through last Wednesday, we were gone all weekend, came back, the router, modem was working fine, because we plugged the computer into it. We were getting a red light on our Linksys, and could not get the internet to come up.
01:00
Speaker 2
Ah, uh yes please sir. Can I have the serial number? Okay, thank you so much. Let me just go ahead and look on the serial number but can you tell me sir what is really happening?
01:00
Speaker 1
So, I reset the whole system, went back to the purple light but it's still not recognizing any connection. I can't uh, okay, sure. So, so basically going back to when I reset back to factory, it wants to reset it back up but it can't because there's no connection. Is that telling me my modems bad? Or, I mean my router, I'm sorry. Yeah. Correct. Correct. Right. silence
02:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. I'm still here, I'm listening, sir. Uh-huh. Um, not actually, sir, because as what you've mentioned, it's okay. So, this router was actually working fine before, like, before the storm. And, like, there was really no problem at all. Uh-huh. So, how [silence]
02:00
Speaker 1
just one. I think so. OK. it's Gary Boone. B-O-O-N-E. it's spectrum. yeah, we talked to him quite extensively last night. they sent a few pings out and they they checked the system. and my wife actually hooked up the cable to her computer
03:00
Speaker 2
How many of these routers do you have, sir? Okay, just one. And, um, sorry, like, is this your first time calling Linksys? Okay. So, let me just create a record first for this. Can I have, can I please have your first name and your last name please? Oh, okay. Thank you so much, Gary. And, um, and by the way, Gary, who is your internet service provider? Okay. And, um, have you called spectrum?
03:00
Speaker 1
computer, her work computer. It's still the old style, hasn't had the ethernet cable to it. And it it got the internet off the modem. So we're thinking it's it's in the the router. But I don't know. I don't know. Yes, we've already tested it to make sure we are getting um a proper signal from the modem. Correct, and that's only because I reset it. It was red. When we first got home from this weekend from being being away and there's no internet, it was
04:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay. [silence] Oh, okay. I see. At least you actually test it already. Oh, okay. I see. So, and you also mentioned earlier that um the light coming from your Linksys router is purple. Yeah. So, uh, yeah,
04:00
Speaker 1
Yes. You, right, and I can see that, um, and I've tried using the app to connect it and it says it'll take a minute and then it says please check to make sure your wires are connected properly. And I've checked it. We've tried different wires and I am um connected to the internet port. Um, and I said it was working fine before. So I really don't know how to.
05:00
Speaker 2
So since the router or since you, you have already reset the, this router, uh, so basically it brings back everything from the very beginning. So what you can see right now, when you if you are going to check the wi-fi settings of your phone, you must be seeing the default wi-fi name of your Linksys, that should be underscore velop setup. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
05:00
Speaker 1
bad. Okay. Okay. That's what I was wondering. Okay. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Oh, okay. Oh, um, how about with this one Sir Gary? Cause, um, I did checked the router that you have and based on our system, this router is already, um, out of warranty. So basically, yes, yes. Yeah, so, uh, basically if the router is out of warranty, so the free technical support over the phone, um, will no longer be provided for those devices. However, we have options. So, the first option here, Sir Gary, is, uh, you can visit the official website of Linksys. That is support.linksys.com. So, if you are already on the website, there is an AI tool agent on the lower right corner of your screen once you're already on the website. If you click on that, um, smiley emoticon, there, there is a chat box that will appear. So, you can easily chat with the Linksys agent. Second option here, Sir Gary, is you can go to a third party virtual agent like me. Where I can help guide you on this concern. So I will forward you to my colleague now on my other line. Thank you so much, Sir Gary.
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. That would be great. [ silence ]
07:00
Speaker 2
You can ask any question on that AI. So the second option here, Sir, Gary, is our paid connect service. So that paid connect service will actually cost you [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] That's one five. And then that paid connect service will only last for an hour. Now, if we happen to discover that your device is defective, so on that $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS], then there will be no replacement, no follow-up session, and there is no refund on that payment. Now, the third option here, Sir, Gary, is I can send you an email instruction and also a video tutorial on how you can set this back up again. Yeah. So, um, how would you like us to proceed, Sir, Gary? [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
can you just go ahead and just send me that email and I'll try it. I think my my router is bad. I'm gonna have to get a new one. I think that's where I'm at. Um but I don't mind looking at another video and trying. So if you want to send it to me via my email, that'd be great. No that's not us. Yes, so it was probably my wife's email address, but I don't know it could have been mine. Um do you want me just give you my own email address you can send it to? Okay, so it's Perfect. So it's G Boone B-O-O-N-E 5572 @
08:00
