22:00
Speaker 2
OK, do you have the option to reset the router password? From that screen, do you see Reset router? OK, click on reset router password, and it will ask you for the recovery key. The recovery key can be found underneath the router. It should. Yes, that's the router password. So you may create another one. No.
22:00
Speaker 1
And so does it help me with my other devices, Internet of things to use the pre existing password that I had with my, my past router? So was that a no? I don't really understand your answer. Let me, that's all right. [silence]
23:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, because right now we're creating a new password. You may try that password. You may try using that password again. Let's check if it will accept it. Well, maybe you're referring to the Wi-Fi password so this is say router password when you get into the router settings. So this is a different password. Uh, yeah. Okay, were you able to sign in? Oh, okay. Sure, I'm signing in.
23:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I was able to create a new password and it's uh and there's a, it's uh, there's an opportunity for me to save my password within Google Passwords. Um it's asking me for a username. Um What would be my username? Okay, you don't know. All right, I'm into the Lynx's Smart wi-fi uh, uh settings.
25:00
Speaker 2
uh, I think that's for the Google uh uh setup, so you may uh cancel that one, sir. Uh you can just skip that one. Okay, so you're you're in the links to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi uh settings. Now, um try to scroll down. Please scroll down and look for that uh blue printed um letters. Just look for C A. Beside privacy policy, there's C A. Do you see that option? [silence]

Privacy settings, the bottom, right. Oh, UCLA Privacy Policy. Oh, CA, yes, I do. Okay. All right. Wi-Fi settings, under router settings. Okay, got it.
26:00
Speaker 2
Bottom right. Yeah, beside it. Do you see C. All right, click on CA server. Okay, and then on the left panel, below router settings, click on wifi settings. Yes. And that is where you can change the wifi settings, including the wifi name and the wifi password. So there are three bands available. So you can change the wifi name.
26:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay, so I've put in new names. Okay, bear with me. Mm-hmm . Yeah, I see what you're saying. Let me do that first. [ silence ] Okay, same password and then just different, uh, different Y.
27:00
Speaker 2
of each band? You can just put in your name and then just put 2.4 at the end. Yeah. Um, you would advise you to separate the names. Okay, sure. For the Wi-Fi passwords, sir, you may use the same Wi-Fi password for each band, so you won't confuse yourself.
27:00
Speaker 1
WiFi name different WiFi name. Do you see any problem with just naming it the product name? Linksys MX4200. All right, so the WiFi name, can that be the same for all three? Okay. Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay, so it won't show up unless I have it in the name. Is that what you're saying? All right, all right. Um, gigahertz, okay. And so, um, help me on this last band, I was thinking that that was going to be 5.
28:00
Speaker 2
Yes. I suggest viewing it as a 2.4 central base. different name to see uh, 5.5p الفنية doesn't support 5 GHz. 2.4 central it could support yes, that's right.
28:00
Speaker 1
6. gigahertz but it's Oh okay on my options it says uh 5 gigahertz like squared with a two band but it really is 6 gigahertz is what you're saying why are they calling it 5 gigahertz squared or two? I don't know um there okay all right and so I've I've changed the I've updated the Wi-Fi names and I've got all the Wi-Fi passwords uh in uniform all all the same all right okay tolerable.
29:00
Speaker 2
six gigahertz, yes. That's the new wisp band. Yes, two, yes. Yeah, you may rename it a six gigahertz, sir. It is, it is the six gigahertz. Okay, yes. Yes, you may take a picture of that, sir. You'll have a copy before you click on apply.
