04:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] No. Piped that in. [silence] Okay. [silence] [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
what did you type on the router password is it admin because on the sign in page or you will be asked for the router password so you should type in admin for the router password is A for and D for D and for M and I for ink and for Nancy admin all lowercase
05:00
Speaker 1
okay, I don't see where I'm supposed to uh just go to login. [silence] um [silence] well, let's check it out. um [silence] I was asking for an email then password, but it's not taking it.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. so when you type in the router.
07:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I did. Yes.
08:00
Speaker 2
There are two options for dents. Tuh you can access or sign into the email or sign in to the router password. But signing in for the email means you have on account, you created an account to link your router. Uh so, you have an account? Um the thing sah it is that uh we no longer have any uh [ silence ]
08:00
Speaker 1
I do have it on the phone. Okay. Okay. It just says links and stuff up. It shows up.
09:00
Speaker 2
smart or services that links to cloud accounts, because cloud services are removed, but you can try to sign in using your email, if it can or connect. Or if you have the um, lexis app on your phone, we can also try to check it on your lexis app. Okay. Try to open your lexis app on your phone and then once you're on tell me what * do you first on the screen once you open the lexis app.
09:00
Speaker 1
Router setup and five devices. Yes. Okay. Yes. It's just, it just one name. It's just. No, it just shows there's advanced Wi-Fi settings, I don't know if it would be in.
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So or can you, can you tap on the menu icon, or the three horizontal lines on the up? Okay, once you tap the menu icon, go to Wi-Fi settings. select Wi-Fi settings. And on the Wi-Fi settings, you will see the Wi-Fi name of your route. Um, can you see if it shows the Wi-Fi name for the 2.4 and five? Or is it just one name? I'll So it's not showing 2.4 five. It's not showing there on the app.
10:00
Speaker 1
but it's just showing one now it says Wi Fi name Linskeys setup 417. Well, down below the password it says advanced Wi Fi settings and then connect the device with W. P. P. P. Okay. Uhm it just says security type, Wi Fi mode, channel finder and dynamic frequency selection.
11:00
Speaker 2
Can you scroll below if there is uh other options below? Okay can you can you can you click on advanced settings? So when you um select the Wi-Fi settings it only shows
11:00
Speaker 1
Yes. No, it didn't show anything else. Okay. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
Okay. so since it's showing only one WiFI name and one WiFI password, it means that your Linksys app only broadcast one WiFI name for both your 2.4 and 5 gigahertz. So we cannot separate the bands on your Linksys app. So we can only do that through the web user interface. That is the the one we log into to the web browser, the 192.168.1.1. Now, I want you to go back to the web browser that you have typed 192.168.1.1 on the address bar. [silence] So there you'll see the user name admin. [silence] And the password is the one that you have typed in when you first connected your router. [silence] So you can wait for the page to pop up in just a moment. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
12:00
Speaker 1
That doesn't bring that up. OK. OK. It brings a signing page, but it just shows email address and password. No.
13:00
Speaker 2
[silence] hold up to that. page Ronnie, because that's the only way where we can separate the bands. and to log into that, select the router password sign in page. Okay. Oh, try to close the top and open a new top. Okay. Once you open a new top, type 192.168.1.1. Um, uh, it should route you to sign in page. there's no router password. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1
Now, there is nothing down below. Uh. Okay, what I'm supposed to use for a password? What do I use for the password? It asked for email address and password.
14:00
Speaker 2
Scroll below if there is a link for local access, click Local access done. It should have an option for or clicking on the local access okay. Okay, try to sign in your email and let's see if we could uh log into. Mhm. Sorry. Okay. Type in the uh the password, since you mentioned that you have created [silence] login account.
14:00
Speaker 1
Well, I did have an older router.
15:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] an account when you set up the Linksys router. Then type in the password you use. But you just said that this is your first time setting it up. Right? Mm-hmm. So if it's your first time to set it up, you may not have created an account before for this router. That's why the best choice was to sign in through the router password because you can sign in through the router password just typing in "Admin" because that is the default router password. And since you, it's your first time setting it up, So
15:00
Speaker 1
Blood okay okay yes one I just got you eBay eBay yes
16:00
Speaker 2
it should be able to log into the local access or router's web interface. [silence] are you sure uh this is uh your first time setting it up because it appears that the serial number the serial number you provided for the MR5500 up is already out of warranty. is this the router you just got it from best but I from eBay.

Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. It says using a different Wi-Fi felop control network. Okay. It just says, felop combines bands to act as one network. To enjoy seamless rom and connect mobile devices to each Wi-Fi name once you are sure. It says use different names or keep one name. Okay.

You will know if the, that WiFi name is for the 5GHz band. Then click Save or Default, a nickel, and then proceed. [silence] Use different names, because you're separating your band.
