It's saying that it the the the color is blue it's solid but then it's saying that it can't find the network. I had this I thought I had this set up once. Well that's the problem. So here let me actually get back to the original problem. I got it all set up. And I'm trying to figure out how. Okay. I was joining the network. We got the password in but it wasn't joining it wasn't joining it. The password said it was completely different than the one that was actually on the Wi-Fi network. We set up a different password like like it asked us to and it's not the same it's not the same password. Red that you see under the settings. Does that make sense? Yeah. 5.0 D. as in dog 1.0 M. as in Mike 2.4 C. as in Charlie 0.3845. Xfinity. Have I what? [silence]

02:00
Speaker 1
No. Nope, the only thing that's connected right now is this new Linksys system. Solid blue. Well, we we try to use the Linksys app to reset it, but it's that would be the easy
03:00
Speaker 2
Do you have like other devices that are already connected to your router? Okay. And right now it's solid blue. [silence] Okay, you can reset that one to factory default settings and then set it up again so that you can use its default name and password and if you wanted to change it, you can use our links up to change it.
03:00
Speaker 1
This is a mesh. Wi-Fi system, right? This is ridiculous. Okay. It's still blue. I, I reset, I hit the reset button. It was red. Now it's still blue. Solid blue. On the, on, on Lenovo's app, go ahead. It's blinking red right now. [silence] It was red. Now it's still blue. [silence] Solid blue.
04:00
Speaker 2
We can no longer set up anode using the Linksys app, but you can still use it to manage your network. So, you need to set up an a different method. Let me check. Yes, sir. Um for you to factory reset the router you just have to press and hold the reset button until the light will turn off then release. Thank you. [silence] Keep it steady.

[silence] So, it's a short press on the reset button. Is that what you're saying? The light is the [silence] No, the light is blinking blue.
05:00
Speaker 2
Is it? Did the light went off? Hmm. Then you just have to wait. Um, you can let go. mhm. Yeah. If the light will turn off, you can let go then you wait for the router to reboot and let me know if the light will turn solid purple or hot pink. Okay, it's still booting.
05:00
Speaker 1
Still what? [silence] Oh, gotcha. I can't even I don't even just have one, just one little node. I can't even get to any of the system. I can't even get to the point where I could change the Wi-Fi password on the link app. It won't let me do that. I'm doing this for my mom's neighbor. So, it's it's Sofie A, Sophia is it? Really? Have I not know that? [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
the router is still booting up how many linksys nodes do you have in total for this system just one okay we will use a different method yeah we will use a different method to set it up and then we will use the linksys app to change your name and the password um by the way may I have your first and last name please
06:00
Speaker 1
Sophia. sorry. the. OK. 2,000. 3,000. 4,000. 5,000. OK. Now it's doing all this weird colors. It's blinking kind of like a whiteish. [silence].
07:00
Speaker 2
Okay. so. to set it up easily, just Press the reset button five times. one press every second. Mhm. Yes. one press every second. Mhm. That's all. that means. It's trying. to do the setup process. It will take. two to three minutes. Then let it. It will turn to solid blue.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Your email address again? Greek boy one five five five at yahoo.com. Yeah, Greek boy one five five five at yahoo.com. Yeah I'm gonna know all your passwords, Sophia. I don't care. Problem is, as soon as I walk out that door, I'm gonna forget it. Okay, it's a solid blue.
08:00
Speaker 2
Um, may I have also the email address, please? One five five five at Yahoo.com. OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. So, since- uh, I guess you reset the- your router. Mhm.
08:00
Speaker 1
it's it's a solid blue now. Yep, got it. There's no password, it just, uh, it just automatically connected. Sure, just a second. Mm. Does it look like it? [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
okay, so on your phone, Panly go to your Wi-Fi settings and look for the network name well, up setup, or the default name of that router. Okay. And use the password that's at the bottom of the router, uh, or security key, okay? I see. Try to check first if the internet is now working before we proceed on changing the name and password.
09:00
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, it is. Internet's working. You have it out of the router or a mesh Wi-Fi system to your account. Let's fix that. What do you want to do? Add an existing router, log out? Yeah. It says, okay, there's agree. Connect the router to your modem. Okay, it's connected. Plug in all the nodes. Got that. Make sure everything is finished starting up. Node light is solid. Yes it is. [ silence ]
10:00
Speaker 2
okay, and then try to open your links app. then let me know what you can see on the screen. can you log out first? can you log out?
10:00
Speaker 1
checking the internet, it's connected, name your Wi-Fi, um, what'd we say your wife, well, what'd we say, oh, linked_it_s. Um, what'd we, say, your wife, what we were going to name it, I, you got my phone. Oh, it's on there. Oh, on under the notes. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So, I'm just going to name this uh Linksys Atlas 6. Yeah, Atlas six. and then Wi-Fi password. Is that if you can't and extend it? Is it the existing Wi-Fi password or are we making Well, didn't disconnect or. No, I didn't. Are you there? So we could just use the Wi-Fi password that's on the bottom of the [silence] I'm just going to do that. [silence] Okay. So just give me a second here. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Um, yeah, you're, you're talking to me. Okay, um, yep, it's up to you, sir, if you wanted to change the original password, or you want to make a new one. Yes, sir. You can still use that one if you don't want to change it. Okay.
12:00
Speaker 1
OK. Next... I use the, I use the, the, the password on the bottom of the router. Now, it's talking about our privacy pledge. Next. It's asking me to log in. Uh, just skip it. OK. Create your router password. I thought I just did. OK, so the router password... can I use the same password as the one?
13:00
Speaker 2
We can no longer log in using email and password. Yeah. So, that's another different password. So, the first one is the Wi-Fi password. You will use that one to connect your devices and for the router password, you will use that one every time you log in to the Linksys app. So that would be like your admin password for the router settings. If it will accept it, but the router password has some recommended characters that you must follow. Yeah, like it must be ten characters with uppercase and lower case, a number and special character and no repeating characters. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1
Oh, can't have the same. It's going to have to be a question mark and an exclamation point, because I can't repeat. I can't repeat the letters. Let's do exclamation point I can't have two. Two the same. Okay. Um, so it's going to be a question mark and an exclamation point. Okay. It's not accepting it. Password can't have the same character twice in a row. Oh, eee. Greek. So, how about this? Um, bear with me man, I'm almost done. okay. it says configuring my network, the Wi-Fi network. [silence] I probably should just called these people to be young. Would have saved us about 45 minutes. Well, I get it. Yeah, it's all right. Okay, it's blinking like a purplish, purplish blue. Configuring your Wi-Fi network. It's almost done. Did she have to reroute it or something? We had reset it. We're basically start over. Linksys Atlas 6 created. Now, let's connect your new Wi-Fi. All right, let me take a picture of this. [silence] Go... I did. I took a picture of it. I learned the hard way. All right. Let's connect to your new Wi-Fi. Go to your phone setting app and select the new Wi-Fi. Link right there it is. All right, the password. All right, it shows it's connected. So uh... [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
So you can take note of the password that you created. Okay, that's good. So your network is now working.
18:00
Speaker 1
It is working now. Okay. Oh, that's where I was at. Yeah. Please wait. Looking for your child nodes. I don't have a child nodes. I can't. Yeah, I can't. It's it's they're literally looking for it. It's it's the next screen popped up. It says your network, and it's showing a picture of a node, and it says router. And then the options are options are next or add more nodes. Help us help you automatically send air reports. Okay, we can do that. Okay.
19:00
Speaker 2
yep and then you can just go back to the app to manage your network You don't have any Yeah, you don't have any child, so just skip that part or just continue. That's all right. Hmmm. Just click next.
