Continue there we go. Okay. [silence] This connection is not private that's coming from um. Okay. I put that Norton utilities on my phone and I wish I never would have. It stops you from doing things, but I think I've got it. It's [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
yes on your phone and then um on the address bar where you usually type the website um I want you to type there myrouter. local it's normal because yeah that's actually a browser based prompt message do you have an option to proceed
06:00
Speaker 1
working. Sledge. kinda blinking back and forth. I don't know if it's gonna work or not. It's just like blinking blue. Maybe I should click off of it. okay. it's not working. no. Yeah, let me see if I I thought it was turned off. Like I told you that it's not connected. The VPN is not connected. So it says not connected. All right, let me try it one more time. Okay, http://myrouter.local. I thought on that app I saw a place where we might be able to switching spot. That's crazy. It just goes crazy. Safari. Let me try Google.
07:00
Speaker 2
I see. Okay. Do you have any VPN on your phone? Okay. Okay. My router.local. What browser are you using? Okay.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it takes me to accessing link. Okay, I'm on it. Okay, now it shows me it's on Linksys. It sent me to Linksys, so you all. Is that where you wanted me to go? It says, um, how to access Linksys routers web interface.
08:00
Speaker 2
Sorry, what do you have? Oh, yes. I need you to go to Linksys, but can you tell me what you can what you can totally see on the page for Linksys?
08:00
Speaker 1
and it tells me local address, enter your router's default IP address, or MyRouter.local. Then press enter. So it sent me to like a how-to page, hold on. I just, I don't know what I'm, it comes up Ask Google, Google, which I don't really want to ask. I just want to go to a, um, they're just getting more and more complicated, aren't they? I go to Google and I'm on Ask Google. I don't know how to get onto
09:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Um did you use Memecrome? or just the regular Google? [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
a regular... Okay. And so what was I searching, my router? [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
M Okay. Yeah, just close now, ma'am. Um, and then, maybe you can pull up Chrome, instead of that, uh, Google app? [silence] Yes, myrouter.local.
10:00
Speaker 1
It, it, takes, takes me to like a lot of, of, choices. Yeah, but, but it sent me to Google. Maybe, maybe I should, you want me to go get on my computer? Let me, let me, let me get my computer. Okay, hold on. AI wants to do everything for me, even what I don't want it to do, right? What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? [silence] What do you say? [silence] What do you say? What do you say? What [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
but are you using Chrome now? Okay. Can, um, do you have, Yeah, we can, if you have a computer.
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I just came back from a trip, so I have to power up my computer. Let's take a minute. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
That's fine. You can take your time. Let me know once you're ready.
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It says to set up my admin password so I can access settings when I'm not online. My router.local/ uh yeah. It's Linksys smart Wi-Fi. My router.local UI dot. I had to go through a couple of things. It wants the recovery key. So should I set, give it the recovery key? I don't know if I. why do I want to reset this? So, let me go back. I don't know.
14:00
Speaker 2
You're on my router.local, right? Um, that's for the, um, if it's asking for your recovery key, it'll only ask you to reset the router, the password that is used to log in to the web interface and into the Linksys app. It will not affect your [silence]
14:00
Speaker 1
So it's okay. [silence] Okay. I took a picture of it. So I have it. [silence] Okay. The recovery. Okay. Here we go. Wait a minute. that's now it's slowed down. All right. Okay. Submit. [silence] And I have to do it admin password. Let me see if I already have one. Hold the moon. Because I don't want to have to reset it. If I put it in my, um, password keeper. Hold on.
15:00
Speaker 2
Wi-Fi name, and then the Wi-Fi password that you associated already with your network. Yeah, it's okay if you um, it's okay if it will reset the router password, so the five digit recovery key you will find it at the bottom of the main node, okay.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I don't see that I have one. All right. Let me write it down. Okay. So, um, [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
okay, so yes, sorry, um, so you need MEM, the IP address to submit mass and a default gateway, so you can see linksy smart WiFi tools and then the option. [ silence ]
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay.
19:00
Speaker 2
Connections. And then router settings and then connectivity, troubleshooting, Wi-Fi settings and security. So since you need that information, I need you to select troubleshooting under router settings. And then after you click troubleshooting, you have status, diagnostics and logs. So under status, you have devices and report. So I need you to select report. all right. So under reporter, you have router information and then scroll down, look for internet connection IP v4. So that is your internet IP ah, internet address. That is the IP address of your router.
19:00
Speaker 1
[silence] So, do they want, when they ask for DNS server, is that the DNS one? Okay. Okay. All right. So that's my IP. Internet address is the IP and. Okay, that's the same thing, internet. Okay, I took a picture of it so I can, so I can, have to go down to the basement to work on this. And in the subnet, got that and then the default gateway and in the DNS one and two. Okay. Got it. All right. Well, I'll work on that. And I guess if it doesn't work, I'm just going to go buy another TV. So,
20:00
Speaker 2
the default gateway the DNS one DNS two so that's the DNS server so that is the information that you have that you need and [silence] what you yeah DNS one and and DNS two that is your DNS servers you can use one or DNS two [silence] the IP address yes yes all right mm well you
20:00
Speaker 1
no uh uh it's upstairs we had one for a while and it didn't seem to it didn't seem to do any good down there so because it's you know so I don't know we'll see if it works or not that like you said that might be the problem is that the there's not enough power going down there uh-huh gotcha okay and so [silence] well the this shows you how much power it's using for for something else and so the the the route that it's taking to get down there and so we'll we'll have to see so we've got something that we'll try to to figure out if that's what's going on or not but like you said the that might be the issue well there you go that's a good way to sort of test it uh-huh and if it doesn't work try a different floor [silence] makes sense so [silence] and like it's certainly not doing any good so [silence] oh yeah and you had one [silence] here too right because I remember we had one back around that time remember that [silence] and it just it wasn't really doing much either [silence] so now you're seeing oh okay
21:00
Speaker 2
Okay, you can actually. Oh, okay. You can consider getting like another node or an extender to place it near the TV and then if the TV wouldn't connect to the Wi-Fi, you can use that child node or extender to connect your TV wired instead. So your TV will get an internet connection hardwired if it won't connect to the Wi-Fi.
21:00
Speaker 1
Okay, gotcha. Okay, well, let me ask you one other question that you may or may not know. So,
22:00
Speaker 2
well, as for the child node, the child node, you can actually just purchase another MX 4200. It's just that the child node is much more stable in terms of internet connection so you can get the full speed. So the extender, the extender is that it will create you another network for the Wi-Fi and then it will only provide you 50% of the speed that you're actually getting. So you have the 2.4 and 5 ghz separately for the extender. For the child node, if it's okay with you, you can use one Wi-Fi network. It's just that the extender is much more cheaper than providing another child node. But another child node is much more better in terms of internet stability. as for, that's for, uh, zoom, right?
22:00
Speaker 1
It's because I thought the Zumo box means you didn't need a smart TV, you know? Uh-huh. Yes. Right. So that's what I need to do maybe is I need to hook up the Zumo box. That's what I really thought, and I've they've taken me down this road where I need to be going with the smart TV. But
24:00
Speaker 2
Well, for that one, I think it's actually the same like the, it's actually the same like Firestick from Amazon. So you actually really need, I don't think you really need to have like a smart TV for it as long as that TV is capable to connect like, like Firestick, or this ZumoBox, because that is usually that will provide you, like to get like Netflix, Amazon, Prime Video, as long as you can connect it to the Wi-Fi or as long as you can connect it to the internet, either hard-wired or Wi-Fi. Mhm. Okay, right. If anything else, ma'am, in case of Linksys router concerns, you can just give us a call back, okay? You're welcome. You have a great day now. You take care. [silence]
