38 28 at gmail.com. thank you so much sir. and first name and last name. and this is the best callback number in case the how get is connected, the one that ends in 3828. thanks sir. and so far sir for your linksys do you have like any um do you have internet connection like is it still working? so you just so you just need to log into the linksys app. okay. let me just double check this one sir because we actually made some updates prior um we actually made some updates last month regarding the uh regarding our linksys app. let me just double check if the ea 7500 versions of our linksys app. okay. [silence] 500 that you have is actually still compatible for this one to log in? I'll put you on hold for like two to three minutes, then I'll be back with you real quick. I'll just need to verify something about the app. Okay. All right. Thank you so much. Stay on the line. Okay. Hello, sir. I said, thank you so much for patiently waiting on the line. So you've, um, yeah, I have double checked regarding the EA-7500. It's actually still compatible with the LinkSys app. However, um, we have already discontinued our cloud server. So, um, it's actually linked to the LinkSys smartwifi.com. So, when you log in, sir, to the LinkSys app, you can own, um, you cannot log in using the email. Uh, you can only log in using router password. So, on the app, you have two options to log in. Log in using email, and then the second is log in using router password. So, that's the only way that you can log in to the app for the E 7500. Do you still remember the router password that you have created when you first time set up the unit? Okay. So login sir, using the router password, just in case this router's
06:00
Speaker 1
So I want to actually show the one before. Sorry about that. And that's how I do it.
13:00
Speaker 2
Sir, it doesn't have any more uh doesn't have a recovery key which will actually in case you're unable to log in using router password and it asks for a recovery key, it doesn't have any recovery key because this router sir is actually part of our first generation router. And then the only option that we um and then the only option in case we are also unable to log in using the router password um we can only reset and then set it up again in order for it to log in and then create your own router password so you can log into the app. However, just to set expectations here on that one, since I've mentioned that this one is actually part of our first generation router, as of today, uh we we no longer uh since August 9 of 2025, we no longer supporting the unit due to its um we no longer manufacture it and then the firmware is [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1
do you have do you have any but it's right now, I just, uh, I just connected. it says that I should, uh, Wi-Fi, it found my, uh, network. So I connected to the, when I go to the, uh, log into the by router password, uh, just connecting to your router. but
14:00
Speaker 2
Already outdated, you can still use it, but it's not gonna be a guaranteed that it will connect to your internet service provider in case this route, router, gets disconnected, so it's kind of risky if you're actually going to reset it and then set it up again. But I can send you an email step-by-step in case you really need to go to that router to create a router password. So, I can only send it to your email. Okay.
14:00
Speaker 1
It says to log in with your uh or with your other password, first connect to your WiFi, so I connected to my WiFi [silence] Oh, what's the WiFi name? Okay, it's gate right uh upper letter G as in girl as an apple, T as a Tom, E as in Edward -777 BMD. [silence] You know, I think that's what. getting yes, correct.
15:00
Speaker 2
okay um so what's the wifi name for your link scissor? uh the wifi name yes. okay that that is the wifi name for your linksies right? um have you tried searching for it if it's available around the area?
15:00
Speaker 1
for them. You know those? I didn't. OK. because i wanna change the uh name put the new password and uh justyeah or should i uh uh uh login to the router password or email now okay old one or new one
16:00
Speaker 2
an outdated firmware. so it's kind of risky considering that um you you still have an internet connection right now. Why do you want to log in so to the app? may I know what's the reason? [silence] the Wi-Fi name and the Wi-Fi password. that is what you want to change. we suggest to log in using router password because we have already discontinued our um well usually it's the router password that the uh that you set up when you when you first install the unit.
17:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Right. Yes. Right, yes. Oh, yes. Okay. I am on my network. It's the same one. It says, unable to detect the connection to Wi-Fi through the steps below. Huh. Or to see more clips. [silence]
18:00
Speaker 2
what networks sir were you able okay well what I can uh what I can try sir is that uh instant Instead of the app, you can actually use a web browser to change the Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password. But if it's still really going to ask about the router password, or you are unable to log in using the router password, considering that you're getting that error on the app, our last option is to really do have a full factory reset and set it up again to connect it back to your internet service provider. I can send you an email step by step for the workaround, and how you can reset and then set it up in case you really need to go through that route. Um, I can only send it to your email because, uh, I cannot no longer assist you, sir, over the phone, because the device is already end of support. But I'll, um, give me maybe 5 to 10 minutes after this phone.
18:00
Speaker 1
Oh, okay. Okay. Bye. Yes.
20:00
Speaker 2
uh call allow me to personalize the email so I'll send em I'll create a possible workaround on how you can log into the app and then to the web interface but if not the second email will be the on how you can reset and then set it up okay? okay. All right. So do not do anything yet sir. Wait for my email and then check your email after maybe five to ten minutes and then um read the email first so you'll have reference before you do any possible work around or troubleshooting. Okay? Okay. Anything else sir? Okay. All right. And I hope you have a great day. Okay? Take care. Thank you for calling Linksys. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
