Now it's asking me for choose your five gigahertz network, but it doesn't show. Well, I think I only use one. I don't that 2.4, I think. Well, I don't have that option. I don't see my network. My network signal is low. That's it. They're just too. No, I don't see it.
11:00
Speaker 2
ok. do you have a second network? or you only have one?

okay, Okay. What are the other option? That you can see. okay, that's it. Only, uh, you already selected. I don't see my second network, right? Okay. And then when you selected that, you're prompted to that message now, which it shows the signal is weak.
12:00
Speaker 1
No, that's just another another option. I got them on that. I don't see my network. It says click, it wants you to try to re-install it. And if don't doesn't work, make sure your router is powered on. If so, move the extender closer to the router and run set up again. Well, I'm only probably six feet from the router. Correct. Right. Okay. I did. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Mm-hmm. Um-hmm. Yeah, because you only have one network, so usually there should be an option there, which is I don't need a second network, but you- there's none when you check it on the page, right? No option, no other option. Try to select again, I don't see my second network. All right.
13:00
Speaker 1
It says Linksys at the top. Dual band wireless range finder. Extender. Choose your 5 gigahertz network. Then there's a box there that's looking for it. The things going around and around. And then underneath that it says I don't see or things you can click on. I don't see my network and my signal strength is low. That's it. Well, I don't know if I got that 5 gigahertz or not. And this Comcast [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
and tell me exactly the page you have there uh uh uh huh what else and there's really nothing on the bottom part which i don't have a second network okay and just to make sure then you really have only one wi-fi right you don't have five gigahertz or two networks okay but the list there the
14:00
Speaker 1
I don't see any of those. Can I just cancel and try to do it again? I don't see any of that. It won't go back.
15:00
Speaker 2
But ish, I mean the Wi-Fi list there that you can see, it's not your Wi-Fi, like the names they're listed, it's not your Wi-Fi, any of your own Wi-Fi. Um, it will prompt you on the same message. Actually, it will still ask you. Normally in that part, if you only have one network, there should be really an option for you to skip that part, which is, I don't have a second network or I don't need a second network. That should be the exact message. But, uh, let's do the manual instead. Go to try to click the back arrow. Let's go back to the page where, okay. Just open a new tab instead and then access the same link. Once you're prompted to.
15:00

Yes. And your login password is Admin, all small letters. You need to check the box first. Tick the box first that you have read and accepted the terms. And then click in manual.
