Speaker 1
I've only been sitting in one spot and I just had a child mode up there and it kept giving me, um... it kept giving me messages that it had switched or my internet coverage was poor. Oh, I'd say, that's a good 100 feet now.
03:00

And when you mentioned earlier, sir that you were experiencing a dropping of internet connection, like, is it happening like all around the house or only in a specific location in the house. Uh huh.

05:00
Speaker 2
Please open a port for this one Sir. We need a laptop or maybe a tablet to access the web browser interface of your MX2000. Please open a browser. Okay. And then on the URL bar, please type in HTTP://. Or we can use the alternative one. That is my router. That's only one word, M Y and then router.local. you can actually use any browser for this one, but since you're encountering a problem, um, how about we use uh do you have a private browser option on the web browser that you're currently using? [silence] Okay. Uh, please open that one.
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay. And we'll try it again. Oops, fat fingered. Hang on. Okay, and this is, this is through, the other one. And it's giving me the same thing. It says, can't reach this page. I do not know. Let's see here.
07:00
Speaker 2
OK. How about we open the or use the other browser that you have, sir. Yes, sir. OK. Can you open a private browser from there?
07:00
Speaker 1
Close everything down and start it all over again. Okay, this is Norton private browser. Okay, now I absolutely draw blank on what I was putting in. What is it? My router cannot reach. 192.168.1.1.
08:00
Speaker 2
OK. Please type in the same link that you used earlier. Yeah. Are you saying http: forward slash forward slash my router.local? [silence] OK. Can you try the 192 sir without the http?
08:00
Speaker 1
one. And that gets me into Linksys. I'm getting a warning when I try to access my router settings in a browser. brings that thing up. Let's see. How can I bye pass this warning? Okay. uh Safari, I have a continue button. I don't know what that film doesn't really tell me what it is. Okay. Now this gets me to to access V-E-L-O-P. Okay.
09:00
Speaker 2
that yeah that's actually a normal notification is there an option for you to click on details show more or continue yeah just yeah just scroll down uh-huh yeah uh click on continue yes I just stop uh-huh okay access develop setup so um what are the other option after you click that I mean uh when you
09:00
Speaker 1
That's all it does. It says " sign in" or "reset password".
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, It's now asking for a router password, I believe. Uh huh. Uh huh. So, do you remember customizing this one before? Oh, it's okay. Um, yes, you do have that option. But first, can you use the password, sir, that you can see under or at the bottom of the parent mode or the one that is sook up directly to your modem? Can you use the password that is in there? Yes. It it's a zero. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
All right, and just brings me right back to the same place. Yeah, since it comes up here. It's taking its time. Okay, here's the recovery security key is in now. It says create a new admin password in the hint.
11:00
Speaker 2
Okay, can you tap on the reset password options sir? So I believe you've seen already earlier the recovery key numbers Can you use it to enter here? Hmm. Okay, just to give you a heads up for that one sir, David.
11:00
Speaker 1
okay oh So- I guess how do you put something in? okay okay Yes.
12:00
Speaker 2
So for the admin password, it will not allow you to use the same letter, the same special character and the same number. Okay? Um how about, like, you know, um maybe, um how about you use your last name? But without an R at the very last word of your last name? So just, um, just, runsick, without an R at the last one. And then add the add sign. And then one, two, three.
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it says reset. Oh, this looks much better. Okay, now I am in. I can actually see something.
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Then just press submit or continue. [silence] Okay. So, if you are already in there, I believe you are now seeing the Link-sys Smart-Wi-Fi tools or Smart Wi-Fi tools that says device list, guest access. Okay. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Okay. [silence] Well, really, this is all I need, but [inaudible] is am I going to be able to get back into it because I've got the one redoing this, I've got a wind turbine that has to be reconfigured. [silence] Okay. [silence] Okay. [silence] Yes.
14:00
Speaker 2
So for this one, sir, to open a port, for this LynxS router, um, under router settings, tap on security. Mhm. Ah yeah, this is actually only the thing, no, it will not go I mean, you don't need to reconfigure everything, since you are done doing it. So, if you need just to open a port, then you can justreally do it here. So, after you tap on security, just go to apps and gaming. Then it will give you the three options, like single port forwarding, port range forwarding, and single port triggering.
14:00
Speaker 1
Nowadays, I see connectivity, troubleshooting, Wi-Fi settings. Okay, there we go. Security. Okay. All right. So, I think I'm better off leaving it at this point, as long as I can get back into it to let the guy who knows what he's doing do his thing, because I have no clue. I don't know what I need to port forward. I don't know what on your end. Yes. I just need to access. Okay. So now that I've got access in there, I can get him, because now I see the port range forwarding, single port forwarding, all of that fun stuff. [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
security it's at the very bottom option okay oh okay oh okay so someone will visit you on your address to open some port so you just really wanna know um how to oh okay okay okay okay uh okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay
15:00
Speaker 1
and also um this one please sure you bet you bet
16:00
Speaker 2
Okay, give me one moment. Okay.
17:00
Speaker 1
