Speaker 1
Okay, that I might do that. What if. Okay. So what if I do the one time support sort of $15 and then you're like, oh, well your router is broken. Like what if it got struck by lightning or something? [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
All right. So again, ma'am, thank you so much for the information. However, uh before we proceed for the troubleshooting, I'm going to set your expectation that, uh according here on our end, the hardware warranty status of your router has already expired. And I really do apologize, ma'am, but we can no longer provide assistance over the phone or chat for out of warranty devices. However, rest assured that all our troubleshooting guides and articles are still available on our support website. However, ma'am, if you really wanted to be assisted over the phone, we do have this one time non-refundable support that will last up to 60 minutes or an hour, but it will cost you $15. If there is silence or no speech, output only: [silence] [silence] Yeah. [silence] Yeah. [silence] For
04:00
Speaker 2
with that one, ma'am, um, since this is uh, this paid service is non-refundable and there will be no replacement. Uh, how about this? Uh, is your router currently turned on? Like is it plug-in and the switch is toggled on. Alright. So since you press the recent button, kindly check if your device like computer or phone are able to detect the default name, which is Lenesis 04211. Uh, you can now uh, or check if your device can already detect the default name. Since you mentioned that you already pressed the reset button. So so if your devices are still like like they can't detect the
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Yeah, spectrum did it for me but yes. Well I haven't tried my computer but my TV was disconnected and then I got that reconnected. So the TV reconnect Yeah connected to the Linksys. It did connect to the Linksys.
06:00
Speaker 2
default name of the router that means that the router is still online. I'm sorry, the router is still working. However, it does not have an internet connection as of the moment. So, bye-bye, did you also like reboot or restart the modem like the the spectrum device prior calling us as well? Aha. So, how about a PC that can be wire directly to your spectrum modem? Do you have a PC that can be wired? Oh, that's great. Uh-huh. So just to confirm, your TV, when you wired your TV directly to your spectrum modem, the TV was able to get online. That correct? Oh. So, yeah, and
06:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, my cell phone is connection right now. But I'm having trouble, so, so what I'm having trouble with is I can't connect it to my ring cameras and I can't connect it to my printer and it, our name, the name changed so the our Wi-Fi used to be called Lussis and now it's back to link city. So why did that happen? Why did the name change? [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
If the TV can connect to the Linksys router and able to get online, so that means that router is working fine. So however, what about your wireless devices? Can... Oh, that's great to know. Oh, I see. Yeah, that's actually normal, ma'am. The reason for that one since we press the reset button, again, pressing the reset button will change all the settings that was saved on the router back to factory default. So, that's the reason why the...
07:00
Speaker 1
Would love that. That'd be great. But if, but if I, or I, or if I pay you the $15 you're saying you could do that for me or I would still have to do it myself. Okay. What is, what, what is reconfigure the router? What does that mean?
08:00
Speaker 2

17:00
Speaker 2
uh-huh kindly connect to the one that says 5 gigahertz also 5 gigahertz and again the default hashtag word is labeled underneath the device or on the router itself uh-huh just take your time man [silence]
17:00

18:00
Speaker 2
That's great ma'am. So on your laptop kindly open a browser, like Chrome. And then in the address bar, like the upper search bar, kindly type in HTTP. Uh yeah. Yeah. So in in the address bar kindly type in HTTP like hotel, hotel, like hotel, and then colon. The symbol, colon. Double, double forward slash. And then my router. .local.
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay, got it popped up. Xfinity's smarter Wi-Fi set up. Okay. It's saying. Okay. Hit next. Okay. Okay. Now what? Yeah. So now I can change the name.
19:00
Speaker 2
local, so, so it should be router.local, that's great to know, all right, so on that screen, just click the license agreement and then press next, Mm-hmm. And then it should redirect us to the screen that says updates for your router. And if so, just check the install future or updates automatically recommended and then click next. Uh-huh. Are you on the, yeah? Are you now on the screen asking you to personalize the Wi-Fi name and password? Yes, ma'am. So, yeah.
19:00
Speaker 1
And I'm going to click, make all network names the same. Okay, and now come up with a new password. Yeah. Okay, so that's done done, I'll hit next. Okay. Okay, so this is updating, so I'll have them. [silence]
20:00
Speaker 2
don't worry, rest assured that you can use the previous Wi-Fi name and same goes for your password. Then just press Next once done, yeah, you can. Yeah, you can click that one. Yes ma'am. So, I would recommend using the same password both for the 2.0 2.4 and 5 gigahertz. Yes ma'am.

Speaker 2
yeah so on your yeah so on your laptop kindly go back to the Wi-Fi settings and then reconnect to the new name or the personalized stylized yeah got it
22:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay. I just did a hit next. so it does say my router is set up. So how come my printer is not finding my um, uh
23:00
Speaker 2
yes that password would be your local login password okay so that in the future like if you want to manage the router or access the web user interface you need that router to log in and I would recommend taking note of that password since we cannot retrieve this password and the only way to retrieve it is by pressing the reset button so yes ma'am on the screen you may now create a router password mmhm uh-huh And that yeah that should do it ma'am and after you press next you should be seeing um a screen there that says your router is set up all right yeah mmhm like this new name you're going to need to
23:00
Speaker 1
well yeah let me go to my I have an HP . let me see if it finds it . hold on because it wasn't finding it yesterday. would it would it odd . I don't know . hold on . yeah because it's like my printer says not not connected . get connectivity help. it's not far . it's always worked until this recent issue. so
24:00
Speaker 2
I understand ma'am. Yeah, uh since we just, uh since we just personalized, again, the Wi-Fi name, uh rest assured that, uh all your devices should now be able to detect the new name of the router. However, you can still test it right now. Yeah. Yeah, that that, yes, ma'am, rest assured. You can test the connection right now on your printer. So, by the way, how far is this printer from the router? Um, mm-hmm. Yeah? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's the one. You can't test, ma'am. If the printer is able to detect now the name of the router.
24:00
Speaker 1
Stop it. That's what you're supposed to use the, okay. So. Setting, yeah, I don't know it's. It's not even giving me the option to add the printer to the network. So, Yeah, I know, again, I can call, uh,
26:00
Speaker 2
What about on your other devices, ma'am, like your phone or your TV? Can you check if they can detect the name of the router? Because if so, rest assured that the router is already online or working. However, for your printer, I'm going to set your expectation for that one that I really do apologize that I'm not technically trained for the printer, ma'am, so I cannot. However, yeah, so for now, let's try to isolate and make sure that.
26:00
