Um if I may ask, sir, how did you try to um connect the.
03:00
Speaker 1
I'm, I have not ever tried the WP button just because I've got other things connected to our router, and I don't want to have to reset all of that stuff. So I'm I'm pretty stupid when it comes to this electronic stuff. Uh, I'm I'm sorry, does it have what? Uh, model. I I'd have to go upstairs and look. I don't know. I think maybe what I'll do. Hmm, what? No, uh, it's not a Linksys router. I'm I'm sure it's an AT&T router.
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, what's your, okay, what's the model number of, what's your router, sir? Is it a Linksys as well? What is the brand and model of your router? But it's not a Linksys, is it a Linksys? All right, so since this device has been, has been connected, or working
04:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I tried that. Okay. Yeah. And I just don't know how to do it because I can see it and I and it comes up on my computer screen. And then I and I don't know what password it's asking for. I'd set it up when I'm an original, but I guess
05:00
Speaker 2
Before sir, it's been configured before. You may have to reset the device, the extender. Factory reset, sir. For like 30 seconds press on the reset button. So the reset button, sir, is the one in the hole, sir. Okay? So the one that's it. Okay, press and hold it, sir, for 30 seconds to one minute and then you'll have to reconfigure it, sir. When you set it up, sir, you have to move it within five feet of the router so that it will connect. Once the light indicator is return solid green, which means online, you can relocate it back. But the minimum requirement for the extender to reconnect should be near the router.
05:00
Speaker 1
I guess it should. I just don't know. It's just too complicated. I guess. What number am I trying to connect? You mean for the password? Well, first of all, I tried, I tried the password for the router. That didn't work. Then I tried the oh, that's the password. Oh, that's the password. Oh, that's the password. Oh, that's the password. Oh my god. Because I keep seeing it. Yeah, all right. I get it. Yeah. If we can't figure this out, then we're going to have to change first the password, then the name of the router. K, I get it. I get it, I get it. I'm sorry. I'm just so frustrated. Then you need to speak to the tech guy. Yeah, no. I better. I better do that. But that means he's gonna come to the house. That's like a huge deal. He's coming to the house. 7:38 PM
06:00
Speaker 2
What password is that? What network are you trying to connect sir? Yes. Yes. Because, are you connecting to the default Wi-Fi name of the extender sir? Because if you have reset the extender see and it was successfully reset, the Wi-Fi name sir of the extender for a setup is Linksys extender setup. So that's the default Wi-Fi name of the ex. No, no. That's the Wi-Fi name sir. And it's not gonna ask for a password sir, if you're going to connect to that network. There is no password sir. You can just connect and then you can start the process, the setup process.
06:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] setup and then it's showing me a number and that's what I've been hooking on to, but maybe that's not the Lynksys extender. I guess I was confused about that. So maybe I I'm sorry. Uh you could send me step-by-step instructions. I would try that if you would like to do that. Thank you. Well, you know, I've got that. I've gone into the to the website and I've seen how it does but I can't get that far because I can't get this thing.

Well, I'm holding the I'm holding it in my hand now because I had to take it out unbug it to look up the serial number. So I I can start all over again, but you know, Okay. And where do I find the Oh, oh, I see it. Yeah. Okay. I I see that. Well, one of the things is that the router is

So, so far, so far, sir, what do you see on the screen right now? On your computer? Okay. Okay. I see. Okay. And when you set it up, sir, please move it right next to the router, sir. And reset it again. The light indicator, sir, if it's ready for setup, it's supposed to be blinking amber and the default wifi name, sir, again which is link sys extender setup and then the three numbers, sir are the last three digits on the mac address. So, that's the default that's the default wifi name, sir, of the extender if it's properly reset. Yes. Mhm.
