Did you hear the part that - it did - It did - it turned blue and it connected her - it showed I was connected to Randy, and then it went red again. And so yeah, so now I can see my network on my phone, but I don't - I don't - it says no internet connection, and now I'm red again - blinking red on the - Yeah. On the -
00:00
Speaker 1
on the original node right now. Okay. Can we go back? Can we go back to your desktop and check if it shows up Randy? Yeah, no need to reset it sir. Yeah, cause that was already originally set up. Okay. And you didn't touch that. So that uh node is still set up as a parent node. Okay. So no need for us to reset it. So we're just reconnecting it back. Okay. So now can we go to your computer, the desktop and see and check if it sees uh Randy? Okay. Just connect to Randy.
01:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. But this one we had, we haven't we haven't reset this one yet. Like we... OK. OK. It does say, it says, it does say Randy, I mean, I can see it on the website, you know, I can see it, but it shows I'm connected because it's giving me a disconnect option.
01:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so it it uh reconnect to Randy now. Can we open up a browser? Open Google Chrome and just go back to my router.local. Yes, we even don't have internet access earlier. You should be able to access my router.local.
02:00
Speaker 2
Okay? Well, I'm not, I'm not connected to the it's not connected. I don't have no internet access. Okay.
02:00
Speaker 1
[silence] You may close all the windows open and try to open up a new page. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now. Yeah. All right, you got to go through all this again here. Continue. I should've just clicked on do not show this page again, but pictures.
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so it's asking for, yeah, just reset the password, sir. It will ask for the recovery key. So it's the recovery key underneath that, uh, node. Yeah. because that's a different node, so just. It's asking for the recovery key. Yes. It's the recovery key underneath that uh node, wich is connected to the modem. Yeah. The I think that that's your original parent node.
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay. What I'm on the reason, it just went to the reset admin password. I'm going to have to reset the password again. Is that recovery? Is that recovery going to be different? That's going to be different than the first one I took a picture of. Okay. Right. Okay. and okay so i need a new password right wow who knew it was gonna be this much work huh okay so i gotta click on ca
04:00
Speaker 1
s click on CA. alright then go back to trouble-shooting again. sir. [silence] yes. Okay, scroll down still no X. You've already tried different cable, right? Hmm. So we've already tried two nodes and it's still not um actually uh detecting the
06:00
Speaker 2
Do the merge.
06:00
Speaker 1
the signal the connection from your mode Um we've tried also different cables. Yeah. It's just bad that we cannot connect a computer or another device to your modem. Because uh hmm yeah the the desktop is too far from it. Oh yes. Um. This is been. Can we can we try one more Ethernet cable sir? And uh. Uh. Yes. Just just for. just just to make sure. Okay. It's not the cable. Because we've already tried two nodes here sir. Just it's it's impossible that the two nodes are are faulty. So it could be that
07:00
Speaker 2
Right. Let me, um, No, what do you think? Yeah, I mean, that, that, that even the cable is brand new. I don't think it's going to be, I mean, we can try it. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
there's uh there's a problem with the ethernet port coming from the modem that uh you only have one port on your arris modem right okay sure [silence]
08:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Let me, let me, I'm getting another cable. Let me go when I go back up there, I'll look, OK. But I'm pretty sure there were some more in some of these other boxes. Well,
08:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, for sure that is a cat five E or cat six. If it came with a link, yes, yeah, you can actually use that. So you may, yes, you may try connecting it, connecting that other cable.
09:00
Speaker 2
oh here we go you got a brand another brand new one this one doesn't even say what it was what it is on it it was in the Lindsay box but it doesn't say if it's a cap5E or cap six there's no writing on it at all but it came with it it came with it it's still in the box brand new. All right hang on one second here I'm will have stuff all over the place here we're through [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
We could actually triple check, sir. I mean, connect your computer, the desktop. For sure, your desktop does have an ethernet port at the back. But again, I know it's very inconvenient. Mhm. On your desktop, right? [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay. l un scrunge. Yeah, I only have, there's only one port in the modem. Yeah, but I can't, I won't be able to get to the, I can't get the, I only have a, I'm going to have to disconnect the cable coming from the wall, and I don't have a place to hook it up where my computer is. Yeah, my desktop, yeah. So let's plug this into the Internet.
10:00
Speaker 1
Yes, internet point of your MX2000, your Linksys and the other end to your Airis. Do you have like a Playstation or any game console? Because Playstation does have an ethernet port or any other
11:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah, and there's, like I said, there's only one place to plug in there. That's it. No, unfortunately, my kids, my kids are all grown and gone and they're not, I was looking, I know my wife has a computer, but she's not here right now. And I think she has it with her. Yeah, my, I have, I just bought this Apple computer and it, it doesn't have a
11:00
Speaker 1
yeah, some with Apple, yeah, some Apple computers uh, do not have that ethernet unless you have the the dock station dock something um, it will convert from USB. Mhm. Oh. Yeah. Mhm. Well, uh, it didn't tell you uh, any hint, cause there's usually hints there for the password.
12:00
Speaker 2
There's no port on it anyway. And what... Right. But what good is it when you don't... What good is it when you don't even know your password? My... Yeah. My son talked me into getting this Apple and I don't... He set it up for me and I just... I guess we didn't... I'm usually pretty good about writing all my passwords down but... but I guess I didn't. There's no hints. There's no way to read... I can't even see where you... I've got some great big old... like a code... like they gave me this big old long code that I wrote down, if you wanted to change your password but... but there ain't any.
12:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's okay. Well, um, yeah. So, yes, after you've connected the third cable, sir, can we go back to your computer, the desktop, and check on the troubleshooting page, try to refresh it. And check the ports again. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay. refreshing it now, so. Yeah, it's, it's. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1
no X. okay, can we try, um, let's just try this. can we try to connect the, uh, cable, instead of connecting it to the internet, connect it to one of the, uh, other ports. okay, let's check the other port. on the linksys. yes. yes, you may connect it to ethernet. we'll just check if it gets an X there. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
No, unfortunately nothing, no X's, no O's, no checkmarks, no. No. Are you talking about on the router? Okay, so the one that says Ethernet? Okay. Cause the other the other two routers that I have, the older ones, They don't have a they don't give you um an a choice of internet.
