So this router that you have, sir, is connected to the coaxial cable or the coaxial, um, modem. And the, the device that you are responding to is an "S" question mark.
03:00
Speaker 1
Yes, yes, it's built in, the wireless, so I'm uh, I use the Cox box that has the wireless capability, um for the house, and then I ran, ran a cable out to one of my buildings. Um, uh, so that I would also have internet out there, wi-fi. So, I was told it would work as long as everything is matched. And, and it, it did, um, for a little but, and now it's, it's not liking it. So, uh, I was, I was just asking Cox if they knew anything about it, and then they said it's probably because that was set up for not, not fiber, so. I didn't know if there was something wrong with it or something? [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
using the device that is provided to you from Comcast the modem does it have a wireless capability? if your computer is uh if your computer could up with by a wireless internetuh huh okay okay uh huh yes uh huh now go to the second uh okay uh huh uh huh okay uh huh
04:00
Speaker 1
So coming off of the Cox box, it is the, the number one uh, ethernet plugs, but it goes into uh, the, I don't know, the one it's supposed to be going to. I think it says internet or ethernet or something like that. It's not functioning. It worked in the beginning and now it uh, it won't
05:00
Speaker 2
So that means when you connected the cable the E6350, you were using from the Cox modem connected to the internet port of the Linksys or is it one of the ethernet ports? Yeah. Uh huh. And it works for a while right, it works for like how many days? [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
whenever I go out there it says [silence] it says let me go out there. [silence] it'll say [silence] like a like a Hmm. [silence] and some sort of error message. So, um, they did say that they can see it on their end and the wire and everything is happy. So, they can see it being connected. Um, [silence] so. Yeah. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
Could be the reason, right? Okay. Could be that there are settings right now on your EA6550, sir. It's not communicating to your docs modem. Okay. How about this one? Okay. I don't have I don't have Okay. All right. So, sir, before we um, like continue here. Let me just inform you about the [silence] um most status of your um Linksys device. [silence] Um it shows it here in our system that this router that you have the [silence] EA 6350. This router is already an end of support. Um that means um Linksys um [silence] is no longer manufacturing this type of um router, and as well as um [silence] Linksys is no longer um providing um technical support like software updates, security updates. [silence] Um [silence] uh since this is one of our um older um router. [silence] Okay.

06:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Um, is there such a thing as I have to change out? Um, like change, change the setting, change the settings on it. Uh, give me one, give me one second. So, I did this at work all the time to
08:00
Speaker 2
Since also [silence] you might try to change the [silence] the IP address of your [silence] Linksys router. [silence] They might be [silence] since our [silence] the default IP address of the Linksys is [silence] if you did not change it is [silence] 192.168.1.1 [silence] Okay? [silence] It may have [silence] [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
I don't know what I can do to make it happy. Does it have to match? Or does it have to be, like, uh, an ascending number or descending number or something like that?
09:00
Speaker 2
You may try to, like, or actually, sir, you must need to check what is the IP range of your modem, okay? If it will have a config of the default IP address of the router which is 192.168.1.1, then you can change the router settings, the IP address, you can change it to 10.10.10.1, okay? [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
So, what it actually says here is unavailable with current security settings. That's yes, using the Linksys router. Yes. Yes. Whenever I'm in my shop, uh where the Linx is only is here, um it'll say unavailable to connect. It's actually disabled by your administrator. That's weird. [silence] [silence] That is on my phone. Uh, I don't have anything hardwired to it right
10:00
Speaker 2
is that on your own on using the router is it like when you watch um when you try to connect is that when you try to um to connect to the Wi-Fi is that on the phone or computer so oh that message you
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. So, would I have to go into the router being hardwired into it and get into it? Okay. Okay. Is there a specific address I need to is that the 192 point, something? [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Could be that the router also sort of needs to be reset. And that's why, you might try to reset it and then reconfigure the settings. Yes, if possible. You can use a hard wire or even if you're using after the reset, you may try to connect. If you can connect wirelessly then you can also set it up wireless. Yes, sir. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. Okay. But if you do have internet connections,
11:00
Speaker 1
okay okie-dokie um is there a login that I need to know uh whenever I get into the router? Okay. The password is admin. Okay. Okay. So that is login and the password. Okay. Okie-doke. Well, uh we'll do some trouble-shootinging. Okay. Okay. Okay. all right thank you. All right I'm back. Yep.
