Speaker 1
One is showing solid red but the blue light isn't reflecting as well on the Lenkist app. I see. Oh, I see. All right, sir. Um, let me just create a quick record here, sir, and, uh, let's run some verification with you, in order for me to, uh, go on with the troubleshooting, or see what I can do, you know, to help you, and check your router as well. And the way, um, I have your full name. Mm-hmm. All right. Thank you so much for that one, sir. And how about your email address?
01:00

02:00
Speaker 1
So that's Ad Tubathor at Gmail.com. Okay. Okay. Okay. Got it. Thank you so much. Yeah. Alright, Thur. Um, I was able to pull up a record here and it shows that you have a LinkSys router with the model number WAVGE003. I see. okay, so just to set your expectations, this model is actually already part of our end of life devices which means we no longer manufacture this one and update its firmware so technically it may happen that it has an issue I mean, in the future, it may also have an issue with the hardware Yeah, but [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
What up password recovery, key Uh, Oh, three, your. I have a Mac address. Oh, model number is, WHW03V2.
04:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Um, yeah, that's the thing, sir, because, um, unfortunately, I've also checked here that the device is already out of warranty and, um, for out of warranty devices, we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance over the phone. However, we do have an ongoing support through our paid connect service for a one time fee of $15, which you might want to consider. But as for this one, sir, uh, if you don't want to opt in with a paid connect service, you can, I can actually send you an email for the troubleshooting steps that you can perform. Well, basically, you can just try to, you know, um, do a sequence reboot on your network considering that it was all working fine before. So, you may, um, you may gather all the, the nodes in one place and unplug them from the power source including your modem. Well, spectrum and wait for at least at least three minutes. Yes, sir. It's $16 for for paid support. Oh, okay. Yes, sir. wheels wheels still have the same setup, but it's more advanced and it's using a, latest technology MASH technology. So, yeah, it's a lot. Well, the latest one, the one that was released last year, it costs at least $300 to $350.
05:00
Speaker 2
Well, I think I, I, I think I'd, what I'd rather, sir, what I'd rather do is, it's, you said $15 for paid support. Yeah, now, I'll, I'll pay the, yeah, $15. I'd rather pay that and have somebody kind of get this set up. Now, are there, is there a new system that you would recommend to replace this system and is it kind of the same thing? It's just three nodes or is it now one node will cover the entire house? How does it work? Okay. And how much would that cost?
06:00
Speaker 1
Yes sir. And it's only available in Amazon? No let me check that one as well. So so the the model number is LN1600. Uh that's Lima November 1600. Uh it's not Netgear sir, it's Linksys. You can, you can try searching for velop micro7. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
for all three nodes? Yeah. Oh, it's only an Amazon. All right. Let me just, while I have you on the phone, um, I can just place the order at Amazon. Yeah. Linksys, if you can give me the model number. LM1600. 1600. Okay. The, now it comes up, um, Netgear Orbi 370 series Wi-Fi, 7 mesh system for home. Oh, that's, I'm sorry. Yeah.

08:00
Speaker 1
Yes. Yes, sir. Actually, I don't want to, you know, let you pay for something that can be easily done by doing power cycle. So, but anyway, I will also include additional troubleshooting steps in case that it won't work. And also, just to
09:00
Speaker 2
fastest tomorrow required uh... june twenty third make sure i have the right address without that uh... my kids always order stuff they're still on the same account okay place your order all right so that's done i've ordered the new one now uh... I don't mind paying $15 if it'll kind of correct this, but do you think it's just as easy to kind of send me the information sheet and do it myself? What are your thoughts?
09:00
Speaker 1
to set your expectation as well, sir, uh this model, um, this may have issues with the Linksys app, cuz technically, this, uh, we have, we had a rollout with the, with, wherein, uh, we removed the access for this specific model for the remote access and the Linksys app. Um, I mean, for this, um, I was, I'm referring to your current, um, system, sir. I, I'm referring to the, to your current system. Yes, sir. Yeah. But, mm, mm, mm.

Yes sir. Yes sir. Mm hm. Sure. Um... Well, it actually... it's not actually, um, but, you know, um, since this is actually, this the model that you have right now is actually like one of our first mesh system. So, definitely it's outdated and, um, um, Linksys also wanted to be, uh, on the trend, uh, in terms of Wi-Fi, um, standards. So, they've been, you know, to be on

I got, I got to say, is this kind of like standard, like kind of like Apple products? Like they're, they work great for a few years and then you guys have a new model and then they slowly stop working and you stop supporting to so people just upgrade. Okay. It's a little older now. Yeah. Okay.
