01:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. It's 10822 Sea Bay Charlie 69900914. Okay. My BT. That's right. So I had to factory reset it because – my lot you installed this before had changed the name of the router and possibly the password as well. So I couldn't log into it. So I factory reset it.
02:00
Speaker 2
I see. Let me have the serial number of the Linksys device, please. 00914. Got it. Let me just check on the exact unit, so please wait for me seconds. Okay? Yes, sir. May I know who is your ISP, sir? BT. Okay. So your concern is that you can't log in on the user interface to set it up? Mm-hmm. Okay.
02:00
Speaker 1
and now it doesn't seem to be connected to the internet when it was before. So that's why I'm trying to go through the setup process. Yes. V two. I tried to go to 192.168.1.1, 1.1. So, connecting to it and then it, it said there's no connection, no internet connection. Now the router is actually connected to another wi-fi box in the main house. So,
03:00
Speaker 2
I see. Got it. Let me just confirm the exact units. E 1200, right? Good. OK, so right after the reset, how did you try to log in? Yes. I see. Got it.
03:00
Speaker 1
A BT extender, but that was working before, it's now not working and I don't know if there's something else I should do manually to make it work or as you can probably tell, I am no expert in these things. I tried to login with my phone, but then I realized that the software said it was only for Windows or Mac OS and I'm on a phone, iOS, so I'm assuming you don't have software for that. So, now I'm trying to log in on my laptop, which is Windows. First time.
04:00
Speaker 2
Possibly there is. Okay. What? Yes, that's okay, sir. We can, uh, check on that. Um, may I know, sir, what device did you use to, uh, login or tried to login on the user interface? Yes, not yet, sir. Okay. Yes, sir. So, yep, before we proceed, sir, may I just ask, is this the first time you called, like, this, or have you tried calling us before? First time.

I just tried your open it saying a site can't be reached. I'm going to start again. I'm going to open the new browser and do it again. So I've already done that. So maybe that's causing problems.
12:00
Speaker 2
Hey, yes, sure. I'm not so sure about that one, sir. It should only provide you one IP. Anyways, let's try, sir. Open the browser, same numbers on the address bar.
12:00
Speaker 1
It's saying site can't be reached. 1921681 one. Yeah, it took too long to respond. Try checking connection checks the proxy and firewall and run windows network diagnostics. On the router. 30. Okay. All right.

There's a click here to download linksys connect. Is that what you're referring to? Or continue with an open and unsecured network. That's it. Okay. Right. And then click to say understand. I'll continue. Then it's got username and password. That's admin, isn't it? For both.
