18:00
Speaker 1
Just want to inform you, sir, okay, with regard to the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi website, the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi website has been discontinued. So, yeah, as I've mentioned earlier, from the beginning of the call, um, yeah, uh, we really have issues with that, with the Linksys app. That's why we no longer use it for uh configuring routers. Um, you can use the user interface to check the device_tests listed if that's what you really need. Um, you can, uh, that's an alternative way to access the router. And with the user interface, you even have their, um, advanced configuration. Uh in, um, for the Linksys app, you won't need access. Yes, they will actually, uh, they will, um, they, they, they will be removing that in the future, sir. It, it, it sounds, uh, it sounds scary for me, but, um, that's just the update as of now. And so, um, if you really need the test, um, I'll just, I can just connect you to the equal, equal, um, to the equal people who can help you out with the, with these device_tests that you can also get over there. Um, how about that? If devices_tests, they will be, um, they will be organizing the, um, the whole site, um, by the end of the year. Um, but we'll surely connect you to their team so you can get what you need from them. Um, but at the same time, we are stronger with the, um, the new app, the, um, support, uh, support-supported device as well, and the new interface that we have at the moment. So yeah, how about that, sir?
19:00
Speaker 2
okay. Yeah. It's fine. I won't, you know what? I'm not going to use the app anymore because it's not, it doesn't work. So, it'll be okay.
