Just let me know, sir, if the laptop is ready. So just try to plug it in. yeah, just let me know if your laptop, if the other computer is ready. Check if the internet works. Okay.
25:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I have Ethernet now and I have internet working in Chrome. No, it's Apple.
26:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so you have Internet on the laptop you're using Chrome. All right. Sir, let me just check the IP address of that laptop. Is your laptop running on the Windows operating system? It's also Apple. Can we click on the Apple icon? [silence] All right. So in here, we're going to select system preference here. After you click it. All right. And then from here we're going to see the tab for network, right? At no success. All right, so, uh, what we need to do is, do you, how, how are you connected with the internet? I mean, are you, is this laptop connected? Are you wired or on wireless? [silence] Okay, so you're connected to your neighborhood Wi-Fi. All right, can we open the Wi-Fi icon? You should see it on top near the Apple icon, a Wi-Fi icon on the upper right corner of your laptop. Can you see it there, yeah? All right. Try to click on that, all right, there should be info and then go to advance, that's what we need the IP address from. So click on advanced and then just copy and paste the IP address, four digit numbers, four group of four digit numbers separated by period on the public chat, alright?[silence] so then, um once I have all the details from the laptop, good. And then can we also check in your router so that you can log in, you can log in to your router. So, usually what we need is this: the default gateway because on the laptop. If you find the default gateway. It is under the category ADPER. All right. [silence]And where it says output or in route.
26:00

28:00
Speaker 1
T-Mobile uh which is in bridge mode hold on just a minute I will go tell you exactly so I have been T-Mobile coming out of the T-Mobile into the orbi which is I believe one of your products. ORBI Yes I'm coming

orbi. I think that is a router. So you also have a
29:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I haven't. Okay. Um, so I'm coming out of the T-Mobile and going into the back of the Orbi and then I have another ethernet cable going to the switch. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 2
Orbi is actually from Netgear. NYX is not from from Linksys. Okay. All right. So let me verify your your cable connection there. So just just to make sure if I if I if I get your your complete um network uh setup there. So you have a T-Mobile modem?
30:00
Speaker 1
Yes. [silence] I'm sorry. Yes. It goes from the T-Mobile modem to the Orbi wi-fi unit. And from the Orbi, it goes into my switch. And then [silence]
31:00
Speaker 2
which is, which was set to bridge okay and that modem is connected to your orrby router so you have a different uh a third-party router which is an rra router and the orrebi network um which is, which uh which is your laptop is connected to right now okay that that's the network name of the orrby router right that is the the network that you set up for the orbi router it is orbi network to the switch
31:00
Speaker 1
I have an Ethernet cable in my bedroom now connected to my laptop. Yes, let me just confirm. Will that help you? Hold on just a sec. I'm back at the laptop now. Entering the password.
