08:00
Speaker 2
the Linksys app, you see your account, you really need to log in using the router password instead. And you must be at your home with the router itself, so that the app will recognize it. [silence] Mm-hmm. [silence] [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
pause the internet. Yeah. I, I am able to do that. But, right. There are a number of other, uh, uh, items, such as, uh, well, it basically just gives me a string of numbers, and I can't recognize what, uh, you know, whether it's a laptop, whether it's my laptop, where is my daughter's laptop, I can't recognize what the item is. Do you understand what I'm saying? Okay. Well,
09:00
Speaker 2
for that one, you can try to remove all the devices.
09:00
Speaker 1
So when you say remove them to add them back, I would join the Internet Internet I remove it from the links app and then rejoin using we rejoin and then that and then I'd have to put the password in again on the item. Is that what you say? [ silence ]
10:00
Speaker 2
That are there that are, like, unfamiliar or you cannot recognize and then add the devices that you wanted to control after. Mm-hmm. Yes, sir. And you, you must know, like, try to check first what is the, um, Mac address of the specific devices that you wanted to add so that you can recognize them.
10:00
Speaker 1
So, how do I find out what the Mac address is? Right, sorry. Just bear with me. I've managed to get into the, uh into the app now. Okay. So what did you want me to have a look at in the app? Sorry, do you want me to go to the parent, parent controls?
11:00
Speaker 2
Us. Um usually, the mac address especially on computer. You can see that under settings or try to check if there are some, like sticker at the bottom, where you can see the information like, um the information on the device. Uh the parental controls there are devices that are unfamiliar, right? Yes. So is there are
11:00
Speaker 1
Right. That's the best way to try and do it. Yeah. So, so when you say remove them, remove them via the app. Yeah. And then if I have to rejoin, I have to put the Community Wi-Fi password, back on the device. Is that right? [silence] right, so when the
12:00
Speaker 2
I know devices. You can try to remove all of your devices first and add those devices that you want to control. Yes, okay. you have the option there to remove the device under on the parental controls. The devices are still connected, devices are still connected to the network. It's just that they are no longer under parental control. So once you add them under on the parental controls, it will not ask for a password anymore. Since your device is already connected.
12:00
Speaker 1
Right, okay. So, oh I see. So you're saying I don't have to go in and add them all. sorry, voice. Yeah. Right. So it's only those devices that I'm adding to parental. So when I see the device pop up. Yeah. Okay. I'll give it a go or a. Thank you.
13:00
Speaker 2
Sure. um As long as the device is connected to the network, um no need to add or no need to input the password. Just add them under parental control to manage or to control it. You're welcome sir and have a good day. Bye You can end the call now, say thank you. I'll just end the call now. Thank you for calling Linksys and have a good day. Bye.
