I can't get the faster to detect my I've hooked it up to my Spectrum modem and I have an Ethernet connection to my Xbox and I have Wi network and my iPhone connects to it. I just logged in that showed up links and I logged in with the password that was on the bottom of the router and I have a connection but like I said I can't get the access up to identify my router. It doesn't even pick it up. Yeah, I want to know like connected devices and stuff like that. You know what I mean? Network speed if I got to reset the network, you know, change the password or whatever. I was able to change the network name and I changed the password through my Xbox on uh I was on uh

04:00
Speaker 2
All right, thank you so much and going back to your linksys router you have actually the izmesh router, so unfortunately it doesn't support linksys app. It will not work with the linksys app. The ways to manage it to your like logging into its proper settings is using the web browser. Like it has a URL link. Make sure your uh you can use a browser using a computer and iPad or tablet. You can log in into its router by using the IP address. I'll give it to you the the URL link. [ silence ] No worry. So that will be htTPS. [ silence ]
04:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, my router. what? O O C A L. My router. local. Okay, spectrum. spectrum. spectrum. spectrum. spectrum. spectrum. spectrum. spectrum. spectrum. Okay, so, but I mean, I thought when I bought this and I was looking up information, I thought I was going to be able to like update the firmware.
05:00
Speaker 2
caul = can be used There got local Guess and the main is your who is your internet service provider? All right in the other link or you are a link it's the same https https two one six eight point One dot one
05:00
Speaker 1
to a newer version through the app? How come this router doesn't belonging to app? I see. Now what about an extender that I bought? Um. Ok, hold on. It was a different account. I got several emails here. Oh geez. Oh goodness.
06:00
Speaker 2
I see. Understood. By design it actually not supporting the Linksys app. The Linksys app will be for other model numbers like our mesh models and other Linksys smart Wi-Fi routers. Your extender does it have the same model number, like E7350. Uh huh. No problem. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
It's Linksys RE7000 Okay. So it doesn't just like boost the current signal, it actually has its own name that'll have to log into and password, right? That's what you're saying.
07:00
Speaker 2
all All right, that's a wireless range extender. It should connect to your existing E7350. However, the setup for that range extender is you will have a different extended Wi-Fi name apart from your main Wi-Fi. It will broadcast a Wi-Fi to extend a Wi-Fi coverage. That that is correct and it will broadcast After it's set up, it will broadcast an extended Wi-Fi name. Same Wi-Fi name from your main router, but it's an extended one. It will not really boost or um like boost the Wi-Fi speed.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay, that makes sense. So, anyway, when I, when I this router, is there any way to like, know what's going on with it? Like, how do I troubleshoot it? If I need to reboot it? Or how do I know what devices are connected to it? You know, for security reasons. I want to make sure I just like to look to make sure nobody hacked into my network or got my password or something. You know what I mean? Because there's a lot of ways, there's other ways to, there's other ways like WPS. There's other ways to like, log into my network. I you know, somebody could just push, push a button that was here, log into my network, and I wouldn't know it. Is there any way for me to determine how what devices are on and how, what the connection speed is?
08:00
Speaker 2
but it will extend a Wi-Fi coverage. [Silence] I understand. Um, you can actually. [Silence] yes there is by logging in, into its settings using a browser, using a computer browser or a tablet, Ipad browser. [Silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
I did use by restaurants passwords. Yeah, I did. I mean, I don't know where that came from, how I was able to change the name. Like I said, it just popped up on edge like over in the corner and to save it to my passwords and stuff. And so that was odd that that happened on my Xbox that has an ethernet connection. But I mean, everything's fine with it. And so I just was because I had the spectrum app with my spectrum router and I was used to looking through my devices and connection speed and time devices were connected.[silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
Use just the URL I've provided. You can search it over a web browser. And it should want you to a sign in page to log in using your router password. By default, if you have not created a router password, you can use "Admin" A-D-M-I-N. That's the default router password. But if you have created one during the initial setup, then you can use your router password. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It's a Wi-Fi 6 router. Now how would I go and change, would I go to the same URL link to enable a 2.4 band for smart devices? Okay. All right. Well, yeah. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna browse around here and do that go to that URL and say that in my favorites so I'll be able to log in and then I'll go from there. All right, thanks for the assistance. All right, good. Good.
10:00
Speaker 2
Yes, that's the same URL link. Um the one that you've mentioned that you opened an Edge and it routed you to Setup. It might be the setup wizard of the Linksys router. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes. That's correct. Welcome, Philip. And once again, Raquel. Thank you for calling Linksys and have a wonderful day.
