01:00
Speaker 2

01:00
Speaker 1
Right. yeah, I've got a, well, I've got a pad, an iPad. my, my routes.info. Okay. [silence] [silence] No, no, just do a search for it basically. Right, Mark. [silence] No, it says here your connection is not private. And how do I do that? It says back to safety or advance. I and I click on advance.
02:00
Speaker 2
For the Linksys app is designed to only be locally accessed through a web interface either on a laptop or a computer.
02:00
Speaker 1
Un, unknown. Other than that, it just says, proceed [silence] proceed myinfo unsafegy. Right, okay, and then you put in the password, [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] wait with me then. Um. Sorry, this is so much so new to me and guys should have told me about this before they they installed it and then went away.
03:00
Speaker 2
What are the options on Advance? Is there anything that's highlighted right now, other than high, the Advance. That's the one, click on proceed. Yes. Your router's password.
03:00
Speaker 1
Thank you. Say, Right. Yeah, I've got it. Thank you very much. No, hopefully I won't need to call you back. Hopefully not. Do you know where I would go on here to um put, you know, privacy on? Is it say like instant privacy? Well, I don't want other people with outside who I don't know accessing the my broadband.
04:00
Speaker 2
All right. So just to confirm, is there anything else that I may assist you with? All right. Mmhm. If you want. Specifically what kind of privacy are you looking for? [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
Where is incredible Wi-Fi? Where is that? All right, menu, yep. Yep. Oh, yep, got it. Incredible Wi-Fi, right, and then, then what do I do? Right, where do I do that? You have to, you'll have to help me 'cause I'm as thick as anything. Yes, I am, yes. That's correct, yeah.
05:00
Speaker 2
If that's the case, you need to go to incredible Wi-Fi. On incredible Wi-Fi you have the option to customize your Wi-Fi to however you see it. There's an option called menu. So there's three things at the top on Lynxess now, home, menu and support. On menu, there's incredible Wi-Fi. There you can customize the Wi-Fi name and password that only you know the credentials and from there nobody can access it apart from you and other people. You're now on incredible Wi-Fi, right? So there's the Wi-Fi name, there's the Wi-Fi password and security mode. Is that correct? All right. So there's a pencil beside it. Can you see that pencil?
05:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I can see the pencil between, all three of them, yes. Right. So, so. Right, okay. So, where, so which one is the best one to use? WPA2, PA3, mixed personal or PA3 personal? I have not a clue. Right. Right, so when it's in WAP personal, it means that nobody outside of this house can can connect to it, yeah?
06:00
Speaker 2
This allows you to go into and edit the Wi-Fi name, the password, the security mode to however you want. Once you've done making all the changes you want, you click Save. Make sure that all the changes that you make is written down on a paper so then you don't forget. Leave it at WPA2 Personal. If you're wondering what security mode you meet, it's your devices. For example, if you have a thermostat, the thermostat will not meet WPA2 Personal. If you do raise it to 3, the thermostat, cannot connect. So that's why it needs to remain on WPA2 Personal only.
06:00
Speaker 1
Right, okay, okay, got you, I think so anyway, hopefully, hopefully, right, thank you very much, right, got you, got you, right, that's brilliant, thank you very much, you've been very, very helpful, please stay safe and wherever you're based in the world, hopefully you have a good day and, um, if your, your country is still in the World Cup, I hope they, um, get through to the, the final at least, thank you, take care, bye. Bye.
07:00
Speaker 2
Oh, that just means the device is compatible for WPA personal. Oh, right. In other words, the simplest explanation for it is the lower your security mode, a lot of devices can connect without issue. Oh, right. So is there anything else? Oh, right. Thank you so much for calling, Linksys. Oh, I see, thank you so much for that one. Take care and have a great day. Bye bye for now.
