Because my other wind died. So when I connected the modem and got it connected to the backbone, I then attempted to um reconnect the router to the modem and I i i hit the reset button and I finally got it. I got the parent unit to connect. But then of course uh it it has a weird name like develop something or other and I want to read neatly rename the network, but that's not the core problem. I went into the linksys app on my phone and uh it asked for a password and I looked on my spreadsheet. I thought I had the right password, but I don't. So then I hit the reset password link on your web page. And it redirected me to a page that just just showed me a bunch of gibberish. All rights reserved, links, this incorporated, nothing didn't fill out any of this. I hit the block. I don't have a hero in equipment. Oh my Oh my okay well how yeah All right hold on I got to write that down cuz I I need to manage the router password and I need to manage the uh uh the number um um so I can log in okay got it thanks hold on no actually I don't I'm keeping that.
01:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Alright. So you're having issues with the Linksys app. Yes. So just to set your expectations here on. Just to inform you ahead that the Linksys smart Wi-Fi remote access website has been discontinued. So that's the reason why you're having issues with resetting the password. Yes. However, your router and internet connection will still continue to work normally. Okay? You can still manage your router settings locally by accessing myrouter.local or myrouter.info. Okay? So.
02:00
Speaker 1
Sure. Number of other network administration things because I've got a new modem and of course that changes a lot of things around. so, what's the name of the URL you want me to go to to control this thing? Okay. Yes. my router. Okay, my router all rung together. Okay. local. And that will ask me for what, the serial number or the MAC address or something like that of the router. Ah.
03:00
Speaker 2
yes understand wanted to change some settings yes yes that would be HTTP HTTPS my router dot local yes my router dot local yes that is correct it it will ask for the router password now since you reset the router by default it is admin ADMIN admin all lowercase and you should be able to get it through the router
03:00
Speaker 1
okay, yeah, I I use uh I I use uh the edge for this uh so there's no app anymore, I go to myrouter.local and the password since I reset the to router with the reset button is now admin lowercase
04:00
Speaker 2
Yeah Settings. Yes. That's by the use of the browser, okay? You can use Google Chrome or either Microsoft Edge if you accessed that page. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, actually you can still use the app, but you can're only accessed, there's an option there on the app to access it locally. Okay? But since right now you're having access below y you should have an option local access. So, you cannot, you can't access it remotely or something like that. Yes, I think that if your account, your links, a M
04:00
Speaker 1
Correct. Hmm. Okay. So, the best thing for me to do is go to myrouter.local, type in the password, and then I can administer this network from that URL? Yeah. Um, I have, I have, I have a, a parent and, and three child nodes in the house. Um, and they're all still blinking red. I can't figure out how to get them reset. So, I don't know what to do there. Maybe that's something you can help me with. They're all blinking red. All, so, yeah, go ahead.
05:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Yes, sir. That is right. You can change the Wi- Fi settings from there. You can configure the router from there. You can even add the wireless nodes or your child nodes. [silence] Yes. [silence] Sure. [silence] Yeah. If they're blinking red, that means they're not connected to the parent node. So you need to pair them back. You need to add them back. By the way, sir, I'm sorry, I wasn't able to get your [silence]

Already out of warranty. Uh, OK. The warranty period is actually, yes, good for three years from date of purchase. However, we can give you two options for this, sir. Chris. OK. Um, It's either you can go for our website, which is support.linksys.com. You can find their articles and how to set this, uh, MX4200. cuz right now year you really need to reconfigure the settings. Um, I understand that you're online right now. So you just need to reconfigure the wireless settings and add the nodes. So you can find the article there, and I can also email you, uh, some articles or, uh, some instructional videos on how to add the child nodes. And, uh, Yeah, that's the first option. The second option is our paid Connect service, which will cost you $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] It's just a one-time payment, uh, lasting for [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] minutes. So that service is actually non-refundable, sir. So, [silence]
