Hi, this is Kevin I have a a Lenks 6400 EA 6400. And I was just trying to log into the router 'cause it's been run slow to see if anything's going on, if anybody's hacked it. And I can't remember how to get in and I swear I've typed my correct password in. And I my first question is, would there be any place that that password would be stored because all my my my my phone and my um equipment can still connect to it. He's Android.
01:00
Speaker 2
Thank you for calling Linksys. My name is Gerald. You can also connect with other users for tips and guidance. Is your phone I phone or Android? [silence]

I just want to log into my, I'm trying to log into my router through 192.681.1 and it's not seaman to want to do it. Although it could be, I'm in an apartment complex, there might be more limits, routers, and I might be grabbing another one. So I guess my first question would be is how do I make sure it's my router? I am connected to my Wi-Fi. So if I'm on my Wi-Fi and I type 192.681, it would take me there. So let me connect again. I am connected again. Okay, so it's old.
02:00
Speaker 2
are you trying? wait, we're talking about Wi-Fi password or router password? So make sure that it's your router. You are, you should be connected to your Wi-Fi. then it's your router? yeah, should be. What is the serial number of this one? M?
02:00
Speaker 1
Let me pull that up. Is it on the back or is it on the bottom? Let me see which one is which. It's "O" number, I hope I can even read this anymore. It's 134, 106, 026, 02264. [silence] Do you need do you want the Mac address or do you need to or are you going to ping it or do anything to it to find it? It's probably it's out of warranty so I'll probably have to pay for this assistance. It's uh it's it looks like it's uh 6400, EA6400.
03:00
Speaker 2
The bottom of the unit here? is at the bottom. mean. all right, thank you. no need. no, I'm just checking the warranty. let me check the model number then.
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay. My email is Kevin Dot Berk at Charter.net. B U R B I C K. Yeah. Can I ask you a question? At charter.net? The, a question, um, in general, could someone hack into your router and, and in the way that you couldn't get in with your router password? Like, the password you're using, the.
04:00
Speaker 2
all right so when I checked the model number AI sixty four hundred uh unfortunately the support of this one already ended two thousand twenty four so we can no longer support this one the least I can do I can send you an email containing instruction how you can log into or get a password that how do you spell your last name v u r b i c k up hmm
04:00
Speaker 1
But yeah, so the chances are, if I had a, a fairly secure password, that they wouldn't have had to act it any, yeah. I've I changed it initially. And I say, what? Could you what? Yeah, my concern was I have sometimes when my computer just goes, everything stops working in the house. Like you're not working, but it works really, really slow and I wondered if someone had hacked my router and I was going in to check and I tried what I believe is my router password. And it um, and it and it's not.
05:00
Speaker 2
I mean, it's any it's possible, but the router is secure, that's for sure. It will. Correct. I guess you're good with that, then. I guess you're good with that. If you're concerned it's just to change the password in but you said you already changed the password, then I guess you're good, right?
05:00
Speaker 1
Working it, I'm not sure. I'm following the instructions that on the interweb just go to, a certain um connect to the router, go to a certain um IP address and then there's an access router password, which I assume would be my password, whatever I use to connect to the router. I think I changed that, but I'll I hope I didn't I did, because if I didn't, somebody could easily hack it. Right? Okay. So they'd have to know my Wi-Fi password. Let me check the admin as the password. Maybe that's why I'm screwing up. I'm using the password that I set to connect to the to the um Wi-Fi. Does that you understand what I'm saying? I'm I set a password up for my Wi-Fi, which was, I don't know, call it's not this, but say it's Kevin.
06:00
Speaker 2
The router password by default is the word Admin, A-D-M-I-N. Uh, no, if they're not connected to your Wi-Fi. Yeah.
06:00
Speaker 1
I, and, so I, I tried, Kevin, and, it wasn't working, but, I might, I might never have, have set the admin password. I might have just set my, user, password if, if that's possible. Okay. Okay. And I, and I would have to build up, redo my, my regular, set, my regular password too. Okay. Thank you. No, thanks. I appreciate the help. Thank you. Okay. Thanks. Bye.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, I think, I think the admin password is still the same, admin, but if you did change that, the only option you you can reset the admin password is to reset the router. But it will be back to default settings. That's a downside. You'll have to start from scratch. That is correct. Yes. Which will come. Anything else? Any questions? You take care and bye for now.
