You know on the on the uh main router that we just changed. It's a Verizon router. Um There's a password that changed because the old router was bad. Um or was intermittent. You know how it just the... So I tried to put the new password in to this, but it says that it's not ballant. I know. Right, I know, but the thing is that the main router was changed.

Do I have to go online somehow and change that? Or will it pick it up? Right now, I have the extender right next to the router and it's still not picking it up or changing the password. I don't know if I have to do something said to to do like a factory reset where you push the button on the back of the router for 15 seconds. [silence] Yes. I have it plugged into the outlet right now. It's blinking red, so I'm going to push it for 15 seconds.

Margaret. I'll send it to your email. Okay, uh, it's actually an open network right now. It's back to Linksys extender set up. That's the wifi name you will see on the wifi list. And it's an open network because uh, you need to set it up, you need to pair it to your active wifi, which you need to type in your own wifi credentials. Once it's already set up, you will see your wifi with an EX. Perfect. Okay. So, that's actually the setup wizard and all you need to do is to complete that. Once it's done, just look for your wifi name with an EX on the last port. The wifi password you need to enter after is [silence] No matter how much I would love to, but this call is being recorded. Oh. Thank you for understanding and regret. Thank you again. Okay. You too, Margaret. I'll still send the email just in case it will not work. All right. Talk to you later then. Thank you. Bye bye.
