Speaker 2
Okay, 50 virgini and you're trying to have this one set up? I see. Indeed, ma'am. this is already an old router. In fact, the support for this one ended a long time ago. Um, since you forgot already your password. Yeah. You can reset this links device once you say, okay. So to reset it, you can press and hold the small red button at the back of your device for at least 15 seconds.

Speaker 1
Well, like I said, I ordered a new one, but I, it should be delivered soon, but like I said, I didn't expect this to happen before I got the new router. Well, do you reset them?
03:00
Speaker 2
Successfully reset this router, the password will be the Wi-Fi will be back to open. So, you need to connect to it and you can then make it secured by accessing its web user interface. Got it. So, yeah, because right now this is the only solution for you to be connected again is to have this router, to have this router instead reset because through that you can then, you can make a new password. We don't have any remote access from our end.
03:00
Speaker 1
Let me see. All right. Now you said there is a red button underneath that I'm supposed to press and hold. And I don't see a red button underneath. Or is it? Well, what's this? There's a button in the back, but it's not red. And I can't tell what it says. Wait a minute. If you can hold on one second, let me get a flashlight and see what that button says cuz I can't read it. It's totally dark. Let me see here. Um, [silence]

Speaker 2
But there's a red reset button, there underneath, you can press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds and after that, your Wi-Fi will be open. Mhm.

Oh my goodness. That's how old it is. I had no idea how old it was. Okay, let me see here. Where's that button? Okay, this says reset. So press that button. Oh, let me get it. Let me see here. And then how do I um reset it. Does it, how would I go ahead and reset this after I pressed it and held it down for a little bit. Yeah.
