Your router is applying changes. The action you performed might cause devices to temporarily lose connectivity. Please wait until the operation is completed. Okay. How will I know when it's completed? And how will I know when it's done? Where am I looking for that information? [silence]
21:00

It, it did open it. I'm not gonna sign into it, but it did. And I'm trying another one. Shortcuts. It's there, too. All right. So, now I should be able to go out and connect to this device that needed the 2.4 gigahertz. And then I can come back in here and do exactly what we just did, but connect back to my original one. Uh-huh. Okay. Sounds perfect. Wonderful. Nope. I'm gonna go right out and try to hook my light up. Perfect. Thank you so much for your help.
