05:00
Speaker 1
well, it doesn't seem to be on. I don't I can't connect to it. It's been plugged in for two years. There's a blue there's a blue blue. Well, I've got I've got Wi-Fi devices. I've got.
06:00
Speaker 2
So what ' s your concern, sir, for this unit? [silence] Okay. [silence] But when you plug it in, sir, do you see any LED lights at the top? [silence] Okay. [silence] and then what's the LED light so far? [silence] Okay. [silence] Solid blue? Okay. [silence] But you've mentioned that you um, it does not seem to connect like you don't um, do you don't see the Wi-Fi name or you can see, sir, the Wi-Fi name? [silence] Okay.
06:00
Speaker 1
A gad door opener. Uh, and I've also got a, uh, camera in the garage. And I cannot, both of those do the devices do not see, they, they can't log on to where they were, and the log on goes through the for Wi-Fi. So both of them have just, both of them have just turned dumb. They, they can't connect to anything. They can't, because I gotta reset them back up apparently for what happened. And I tried it and I can't get, says I can't find Wi-Fi.
07:00
Speaker 2
Okay. so you, uh, you mean, uh, you can't find the wi-fi? Okay. Is it all of your devices, sir? Or there are just certain devices?
07:00
Speaker 1
those are the two that i'm struggling with at the moment.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay. and what have you tried so far sir for your linksys router. okay. hmm. what are the devices sir can you name me one um can you name me those devices that are unable to connect. chamber lander is the chamber lens or is that the garage door opener and then the um um seriously how do you um that's
08:00
Speaker 1
WANE's WANE's new W-A-N-E-V-IE-W. And now the prompt I have on it is sign up or sign in. And if I go to sign in but if I put the password in, I can't get to it. Is there any way that you can check if if the router's working from the from your end or not? [silence] Well, my my phone is, I use my phone for it but.
10:00
Speaker 2
the second one is chasing let me double check sir. These are the only two devices, sir. Other of your devices are working fine, right? Like they are connected to the Wi-Fi. Okay.
10:00
Speaker 1
No, because I'm sure they would ask, they would ask me have you checked with your your router people. So that's why I'm checking with you.
11:00
Speaker 2
So far, sir, for this one, based on our system, the status of the MX 5500 is online. So, so far, it means that you have an internet connection for the MX 5500. Since that is, like, for example, garage door opener, which you've mentioned that was working before. Before you're proceeded with any further troubleshooting steps, sir, if it's in the issue with our router, have you tried to contact the manufacture for your door opener if they if they do have, like, other troubleshooting steps that they can provide or any recommendations as to how to connect.
11:00
Speaker 1
Sam, first because it's most logical to check with you because you can search it from your end to see if it's working, where they can't search anything from their end. So, just having a whole bunch of darn issues lately and all I always seem to be doing is trying to put out fires. Mhm.
12:00
Speaker 2
yeah yeah so far yes okay I see so far the status sir of the MX5500 on our system this one is showing online and active so and it's also solid blue on your end so that means it's working let me just double check the firmware just to make sure because I think they will also ask you if the firmware of the router is updated let me just check it here all right so so far sir so far the
12:00
Speaker 1
Well, yeah, but let's, let's, let's think about this logically. Two devices, both Wi-Fi, don't connect on the same day. Kind of illogical that something went on here, so I, I don't know if you can consider this to be evidence. It's just something curious. Makes me wonder if something's going on. Yeah.
13:00
Speaker 2
your that uh uh you that you have is up to date and uh then it's actually good uh so um since you only have two devices that's currently not working uh I think we'll have to because if we will do everything or do a troubleshooting on the router that will affect most of your devices that are currently connected and working fine uh uh I guess you'll have to check with the manufacturer since you've mentioned that the issue started it happened when um Apple updated or if uh it started when there's an update with Apple right so I guess we'll
13:00
Speaker 1
I appreciate your help. All I need to know is yes, from your end. No problem. Signal fine. Working. Up to date. There's no update on the software for the unit OK. Is there anything that I can do on my mind to check to see if it's working on the software? If I were to go to the links to the software, is there anything anything I can do there to make any checks or changes on my phone to let find out what's going on there? Uh, yeah, I got some darned many apps. Sorry. Yes, I've got it in front of me right now.
14:00
Speaker 2
[silence] so far sir as of now no.it's on the latest firmware. [silence] yes.sir you can actually. do you have sir the lynx is app. that's fine sir. [silence] okay. and then on the lynx is app
14:00
Speaker 1
It says I have to log in. Okay, let me go back to that. I can't remember all these crazy. Okay, so email address? Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
what do you have on the yes so you have two options here to log in um log in using email and then log in using router password but let's just select here log in using router password or router password sir
15:00
Speaker 1
is okay my phone is trying to connect to the router okay it says it looks like your email and password don't work try again. It says router password. I can log in by email or I can login on that one. It says create your own pet router password. I already have one. It says Start. Now it says I have to enter a recovery key.
16:00
Speaker 2
user the router password instead. Do you have that option when you're logging in? [ silence ] logging in using router password. Yeah, that's the one, sir. [ silence ] log in. [ silence ] create your own. Okay. Um, yeah, select. You can actually use your router password. Yes. Okay. Um, select or log in using router password and then type the router password that you have. Okay. [ silence ] Oh, okay. Um, recovery key, sir. I think it didn't recognize the old router password you have. You may find
17:00
Speaker 1
Oh, God. I'm going to try to log in myself and I'll call back to do this later. I have no patience for this today. I appreciate your patience with me, but I've had a miserable day today solving problems. I'm full. I'm, I'm done. So, okay, thank you. Uh, so what I should do is just, if I, if I enter, if I, if I, if I enter in the recovery key, then that will allow me to get in, right?
18:00
Speaker 2
okay sir I understand sir I understand hmm yeah so what you have correct sir so once you enter the recovery key it will [silence]
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay, yeah. Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Bye.
19:00
Speaker 2
But, but before you get in, uh, enter recovery key. It will ask you to create a router password. You can just type back the same router password you have, and then it will allow you you to login. And then you will see the dashboard where you can make changes under menu for your router. And then you can also check what's going on with your router and if it's online. But so far here in our system, it's online. And then try to contact then the manufacturer, sir, so they'll be able to assist you with the, uh, with the, uh, third party device. Okay? But if anything else, just give us a call. You're welcome, sir. Yeah. Have a good day. Bye-bye.
