02:00
Speaker 1
Hold on just. I don't even see a light on it at all actually. [silence] No, there's no light on the top. [silence] Well, it's it allowed my TV to hook up to it.
03:00
Speaker 2
There is no light on the top of the router or LED? But is your router still working or is it still connected?
03:00
Speaker 1
But I think my phone was looking to it. Yes. My, um, my router, the, the TV is just connected, it's working. But, uh, it's not allowing my phone to connect. This is the first time, because my... this is a new phone. But I checked my phone.
04:00
Speaker 2
I see, so your TV can connect to your wifi but it's just your phone. [silence] your phone, was it able to connect before? Or this is the first time your phone is connecting to your wifi. [silence] I see.
04:00
Speaker 1
to see if it would connect to any other network, I went to Walmart and it connected to their wifi automatically. The phone is picking up the wifi from other houses and it's allowing me, try to connect through it, but this one is not even allowing me to try. It just says disconnected, cannot connect. Correct. It won't I'll connect. It'll say connecting and then it says could not connect disconnected. It's Eric ancient.
05:00
Speaker 2
so on your phone, you can see the w-fi name of your router, and when you try to connect to it, uh, it will disconnect. I see. Okay. All right. All right. So we get it. Um, sir, I'll create a request for you may know your name.
05:00
Speaker 1
Yes. No, it's Ap and Tom, G as in George, T as in Tom, O as in Oscar, and A as in Angela. is an GT
06:00

Your name is spelled E-R-I-C. for Eric. And your last name, Hanson, is it spelled as H-A-N-S-O-N? Hanson. So your last name is Hanson. All right. Thank you, Eric. Um, can I know your email address, Eric?

07:00
Speaker 2
So e tang 96 at yahoo.com. And who was your internet service provider? Can you spell that name, uh, eric? So, it's a iStax telephone? All right, so it's iStax, a broadband telephone company. All right, um, thank you, Eric. So, uh, since your TV could connect to your router's Wi-Fi name and it's just your phone that could not connect, um, I have to tell you, Eric, that your cell phone might not be, uh, compatible or your router is not compatible with your, uh, cell phone because your Linksys router is an old type of classic router from Linksys. Uh, it only provides a dual-band Wi-Fi. router, and it's a Wi-Fi fiber router designed for, uh, devices. And I think your phone has the latest Wi-Fi technology, it could be using a Wi-Fi Bird adapter, which is Wi-Fi 6. And it's also connecting to 5 or 6 gigahertz band. And your router is only broadcasting, uh, 2.4 and, a 5 gigahertz band. So it could be that the features on your phone is too high that your router could not, uh, accommodate its, uh, connection to your phone. But you, Uh, you have also to check on your phone settings. Maybe the security mode on your phone is encrypted to WPA3. While your layer one Wi-Fi router is a security mode is in WPA2. Mhm. Actually, that router usually uses WPA2 encryption because it's an old or classic router. From those. And usually devices now are using the latest Wi-Fi technology and they uses the security mode of WPA3. And this router of yours uses WPA2.
07:00
Speaker 1
okay, so let me see so I'll go into my security settings and in my phone and what gonna look up on how do I how do I see what what WPA my phone is using
11:00
Speaker 2
So, that could be one of the probable causes why your phone disconnected or could not connect to your Wi-Fi router because of incompatibility of the product features of your router to your phone.
11:00
Speaker 1
好。 [silence] [silence] 确保通法。 保持一秒。
12:00
Speaker 2
Let me check first. Oh, you go to your phone Wi-Fi settings. And then look for the security field. It's usually on the Wi-Fi settings of your phone.
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so security and privacy. Okay. Where do I go from there? The system and updates are.
13:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Look for security, the security field or security mode.
13:00
Speaker 1
It's the, it's the Motorola G 2025. Android. Motorola. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
What's the brand of your phone? Is it an iPhone or Android? Is that an iPhone or Android? And the brand, is it Samsung or what's the brand of the phone? Motorola. Okay, you may have to contact the Motorola manufacturer of your phone.
14:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so if I got me a newer router, would that do it, would that be compatible, too?
15:00
Speaker 2
To ask them where to find the security mode or protocol on the Wi-Fi settings on your phone. So, that if there is an edit button on the settings of your phone, you can change it to WPA2 to uh balance it with your router who's using the security encryption WPA2. Yes, because our newer router have an option to edit its security mode to WPA3 or Personal, which means or mixed. Which means all devices whatever security mode they're using can [silence]
15:00
Speaker 1
okay I'll well that will do that will do that'll be hard and see you [silence] Okay. Oh, okay. So is the Wi-Fi 7 faster? Okay. Okay, all right. I will do that then and get all of that in order. You too. Bye bye.
16:00
Speaker 2
Because this router also is still using Wi-Fi 5. And today we have now the latest Wi-Fi technology, which is Wi-Fi 7. Oh, yes, it is the latest Wi-Fi technology now. So maybe your phone is also using the latest Wi-Fi technology. All right. All right. Okay. Thank you for calling. [silence] Alternately. [silence] is Take care and have a great day. Bye.
