I'll give it a go. So, um, uh, 192 whatever it is, it got into the admin screen and things like that. And, uh, be honest, Linksys, um, app dumped left me um, head spinning. So, I'm hoping you can put me through a very simple way of changing the password in my router to something that doesn't have a special character in it. So, your challenge, should you care to accept it? So, Tell tell me, you're telling me I can't have a password that doesn't have a special character.

Speaker 1
I've got the, so, how do I reset my the other password? I don't have another password. When I go in, I just use the admin password and that's it, I'm through. So, how I I'm not aware that I've got another password to get into the system. Set that up Sharon. My Wi-Fi password because I need to connect to the data logger on the the power system. Power system. panel system.

Speaker 2
Yes, sir, especially it's just on your router settings or admin password, but if you want for your Wi-Fi password, then you can use different one password if you want, sir. But for the Wi-Fi password, I mean for the admin password, it should contain of a special character. OK, so you want to change the admin password, the router password, or your Wi-Fi password, sir, just to confirm? OK, all right. [silence] OK.

18:00
Speaker 2
Are you trying to create a router password, no sir? Yeah. You're on the Linksys app already, right? Hmm. All right. Is there an option for you to go next? Uh, what...
19:00
Speaker 1
Links this out properly. I mean this this sent me this send me an email. Yeah. Okay. That sent me an email and I have to click on that to get to it. You know losing it. Too many apps. I heard. So I now got to go back in with my new password. Yeah. Okay I'm on it. I'm trying to be on it.
20:00
Speaker 2
yes yes yes
20:00
Speaker 1
sure, router settings, little clock's running. what time is it, wherever you are? I'm in the Philippines. oh, okay. when's your shift finish? hmm. oh, okay. so you got trouble to start with. it can only get better, Sharon. um, get notified of connectivity issues and network updates. so I'll say yes. yeah, allow. allow on it. done it. sorry. so it's now got a screen that says six devices, two nodes, it's got my phone, it's got my printer, um, it's got the router, um, and a guest network. so I do.
21:00
Speaker 2
It's 948 already, sir. BEAM. I just start my screen. Yes. Yes. Hello. All right. So you want to change the password, correct of your Wi-Fi? All right. So yes, click the three lines. to fix that and so let's do
21:00
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, yeah, I see it. Right, Wi-Fi settings, yeah. Okay, so the current settings are there. Oh, no, do I just type in a new password where it says Wi-Fi password? Or do I have to click on, so I can delete that one. Okay. Okay, yeah. And all the visitors and my wife, they'll all have to reconnect, will they? Will affect them as well. Okay, that's good. That's all right, as long as I know. So I've got to create another password.
22:00
Speaker 2
i'm on the upper left corner of the screen. Can you see it? Then tap on Wi-Fi settings. Yes. There you can change your Wi-Fi name and password, sir. Yes. And also just to set a proper expectation, once you change the settings of your router or change the Wi-Fi password, you need to connect your device again manually to the Wi-Fi since the password was changed. Yes.
22:00
Speaker 1
Well, can I use can I use the same one? You're not supposed to do that, are you? Okay. Yeah. You've obviously got used to me not being good at this still stuff. So just save, yeah? it says it will cause Wi-Fi to connect from your Wi-Fi blah blah blah. Do you want to continue? That's exactly what you just told me. So I'll have to reconnect everything. Re starting the Wi-Fi. Oh no, I used an app. It's not what you use.
23:00
Speaker 2
Yes, you can use the same password if you want, sir. As long as you remember the password. Yes, just save, and then it will apply changes. Yes, yes. Yes, you are already on the app, sir.
23:00
Speaker 1
No, no, no, I've just, I've just put an app in my new password. Sharon this is, this is, and now I'm extremely embarrassed by my own stupidity. 'cause I used the same password, which has got an app in it and I've got to go back and do that again, haven't I? So I've got to go through what we just went through in terms of, and get to that screen and change my password again, and leave out any special characters, otherwise I can't connect. Uh.
24:00
Speaker 2
Yes, but you need to connect to the Wi-Fi again using the new password before you get into the Linksys app. What's the... are you now disconnected to the Wi-Fi? [silence]
24:00
Speaker 1
It says restarting your Wi-Fi. about it's on my phone. It says restarting your Wi-Fi could take up to a minute. So that's going to reset my Wi-Fi password to the word that I put in with an app. So I've got to go back in there, got to back to the Linksys and go back and find that screen that you just got me to and change it again, to something that doesn't got a special character. Okay, It's, It's the little clock, it's ticking about rather than scrolling against it. Incorrect password. So [silence] okay, hold on second, yeah. Okay. Um, it's, it's the little clock is ticking. Well, the thing's scrolling against it. Incorrect password.
25:00
Speaker 2
Can you check if you're still connected? Mm-hmm. Okay, yeah. Can you check if you're still connected? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I see. Okay. Uh-huh. Before that, sir, go back to the Wi-Fi settings on your phone. All right. And then select your network. Is it asking for a password?
25:00
Speaker 1
Obviously, I've got to put in a new password, yeah. Okay. Right, so that should be because I've just written it down. Even I can't get that wrong. So, yeah, I'm back intimate. Yeah, that's good. I'm now connected, yeah. It's still on that screen that's scrolling saying, restarting your Wi-Fi, this could take up to a minute. Well, it's taken up to a minute already, but, so it's back screen with a little circle going round.
26:00
Speaker 2
Yes, yes. Are you now connected? All right, so since you're still not connected, you'll go back to the Linsess app.
