Yes? Oh, I greatly appreciate that you can give it a try. Yeah, I just I just got it. But, you know, I could probably get send it back to the seller, but I'm hoping. Anyway, yeah, I tried the online thing and I put in the Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi password worked fine. And then we got it actually works. However, it doesn't work on lots of [silence] lots of lights so I'm guessing it only works on thousand [silence] 10.
12:00
Speaker 2
Hello. I can see that this product is outside its warranty period, but I'm glad you called. Let's take a look at the issue together and see what we can do for you today. This is at the right expectation.

How can I see it also? [silence] Yeah. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
the websites. And so I assume that's because it's not really totally, you know, hooked in. Right? So that's, yeah. Yes. It was in, uh, see, doesn't say refurbished here. Um, but I, uh, I might have missed that when I was buying it, whether it said refurbished or not. Yeah. Online, I think.
13:00
Speaker 2
okay oh okay by the way, you might and earlier that you just got your router, is that correct? is it yes, brand new or refurbished? and you still have the receipt of purchase, correct? okay, since yeah. all right. just take, um just keep the receipt of purchase for warranty validation, okay?

A little computer must be thinking hard. Router not found. Darn it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's wired to the computer, yes. Yes. Okay, I tried it a couple of times and it keeps saying it's not connected. I wonder if I should try a different cord. Well, actually that it's, it's working but it's just not working, where it should. details. What does this say? details. [silence]
23:00
Speaker 2
okay uh... you know if that by the way is that computer wired to the link this router right... now okay click okay click retry do you see retry there okay click that [silence]
23:00
Speaker 1
I didn't give me any information. Just says I'm not connected to the router. I wonder if I should no, I just I used the cord I I used the cord that I was using, which was a good cord. I didn't use the cord provided, so I don't think it's the cord. Okay, all Refresh, um, you think turning it off and on put could work? Is that what you think? Oh, no. Okay. Okay, wait, wait, okay.

Still not making any progress. It went back, darn it. After all our work, it's not doing anything. In fact, it's yeah, I know how to do that. Yeah, maybe that took it. Okay, router. Okay. It does have the new name on there. Okay. And then I'll put my password in.
25:00
Speaker 2
[ Silence ]. Okay. Make sure to reconnect your computer to that wifi name. Um. Yeah. Okay. Connect your computer to that wifi name.
25:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] [silence] whops yeah that's the right [silence] [silence] [silence] it's making the right action it's it's trying [silence] it's verifying and connecting let's say and [silence]
26:00
Speaker 2
Are you experiencing issues while connecting your computer to the network? Okay.
26:00
Speaker 1
taking longer than usual but at least it's still trying. Ooh. I actually looked to make sure the password was good. I wonder if I did, uh, something that was capitalized when it shouldn't have been. I'll just try it again. Uh let's see. Yeah. Okay, this time I didn't do any capitals. Maybe that
27:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay.
27:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it says secured, but then it said, can't connect to the network.
28:00
Speaker 2
Okay, tap that Wi-Fi name and tap on forget this network. By the way, what is the color of the light on top of the node?
28:00
Speaker 1
It's blue now. Yeah, it went, blue. It was used to be red. Yeah, it's "secured". Yeah, I just have to try this again because it's, uh, it didn't, uh, it didn't actually just stay connected. It said, uh, secured. Yeah, uh, we're, that, we've got a basic, you know, something's happening. [silence]
29:00
Speaker 2
front or on top of the router? Is the power light now solid blue or blinking? Can you check? Is it solid blue? Great. It means that the router is now online. Perfect. Now let's reconnect the computer to the Wi-Fi. Let's connect the computer to the Wi-Fi. Okay. We can also Just to verify, that same computer is also wired to the lynx router at the moment. Correct? Okay.
29:00
Speaker 1
you know, but it's not really what is what, Oh, OK. Uh-Oh for some reason it's not running at this time. Well space, no, this time it's not going to work. It did last time my router worked, but this time it's not going using that. So I wonder if I have anything going on here. Let me see if I
30:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let's try this. Open another tab and type, and go to my router that local again on another tab. My router that local and press enter. [silence] so, Did you already um okay. Did you already forget the network, the wifi network? tap on the wifi that wifi name and then tap forget this network. Then after that, reconnect the computer to the wifi name. mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm
30:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] I don't see it. You said there was something else, but I don't see anything else. Um I I I I might. Yeah, let me try. Um Hmm, I'll off bring it in another I'll plug it in and I'll bring in a laptop here and plug it in. See if that works. You're You've been through a lot of these things. That you've got all kinds of good options. I hope we can make it work. Yeah, that's one way of doing it. Okay, I'll bring in the laptop and then I'll plug that in.
32:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. Do you have another device like a laptop, an iPad that we can connect to the router right now? Okay. Please try another device. Okay. Yes. Yes, let's try that. Yeah. I hope... let's cross our fingers.
32:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Ooh long time. I don't know what I have is a mesh system and I I have you know like a motor. I and I don't know if I can unplug the modem and then try plugging it directly into my computer. You want me to see if that works? Some some laptops have their own modem, right? Yeah. I I don't think that probably won't make a difference. Um let me just try using this of this second computer and I'll go go here and see if it'll take a password on this one. Oh Right. Yeah. [ silence ]
33:00
Speaker 2
Mm hmm. [silence] So you can try that as well. You can power cycle the modem and then the router, but then, um, the issue is not the modem and the router, the issue is the password that is not working. So, um. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah, correct. Yeah, please, you can also wire the computer directly to the Linksys router, then access the setup page.
34:00
Speaker 1
Okay, we're going to try this. [silence] Yeah, it's not too hopeful because it's taking a long time. But, at least I'm trying to do in, some different computer. [silence] [silence] No. [silence] [silence] Oh, you know, I wonder. Do you remember the minimum number of characters for the password? word. Maybe I didn't quite get it. Uh, I I did a, let's see, how many characters today? I'm gonna say 9, 10, 11. I had 11 characters. I think that's pretty much, that was the minimum. No, no, it isn't. That's all I can think of is it may be it requires more than 11 characters. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, that should, you know, unless it was too short, but I think that's plenty of time. Oh, well. Hmm. Okay. I'm gonna give that a try.
35:00
Speaker 2
Mhmm. Mhm. Mhm. So the password is not working, correct? Mhm. But you already set up the password earlier so that password should already work. Mhm. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah, it could be that there's a missing character in the password so let's wire the computer directly to the router and then access the setup page via wired connection. Mhm. Okay. And [silence]
37:00
Speaker 1
um yeah there might because it's a mesh network that might have confused that's truth so okay let's see
38:00
Speaker 2
Turn off the Wi-Fi and the computer so just to make sure that the computer is not connected to a different network. Just wire it to the Linksys router. Yes.
38:00
Speaker 1
you know it's it's still thinking hard so I don't know if it's gonna work or not but no just when it just stopped and said the key hasn't worked.
39:00
Speaker 2
Is it? Is it ready now? The computer? Can you hear it?
39:00
Speaker 1
It went back to red. So it probably requires that little modem then in order to do any things. And the little modem doesn't have its own it doesn't have Right. Well, it was, yeah, um But it doesn't have its own password you know it's uh the modem is not password protected so I don't think that cut in the way. Um Um okay.
40:00
Speaker 2
Okay. a double check as the power light and the router is solid blue. The poddem must be wired to the internet port of the linksys router. Is the modem still wired to the internet port? no need to worry about the password and the modem for now. Let's just make sure that the modem is
40:00
