[silence] That's your objective. [silence] Now, the router is very old. [silence] It's already obsolete and no longer supported. [silence] And WPA3 is not part of the support [silence] this one. [silence] In fact,
08:00
Speaker 1
wait. wait a minute. can you slow down? 'cause we can't understand you. can you say that again please? okay.
09:00
Speaker 2
I'm going to give you a bit of a gap on it just a moment. So just physically the status of the router is physically working. Problem with this router is even on even though it will is physically working, so it can still function. But the problem is the internet service over here had already upgraded their network and this is not compatible. This is old. The security level, this is WPA1 and 2 on this, one, and the internet service provider is WPA3. There's no way you can force this router to adopt to that of the new router. The solution is you need to replace the router.
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, slow down. The, the solution is to replace the router? Is that what you're saying? Hello? Okay. Okay. It's very hard to understand you. I'm very sorry, but it's very hard to understand you. Yeah, so, after the fact, we were able to go to our settings and update with the links, um, and update under the security tab, uh, the WPA3 - personal, um, with the encryption type AES and our network security key. Um, but and so I was able to do that. But are you saying that that will not work on the current router?
10:00
Speaker 2
router sick you have the live yes I apologize this is already yes the router is already obsolete it is not working I'm sorry that's okay internet yes
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. because Okay. even though the lights Right. The problem is we can't even get internet, but are you, are you hearing us that we can't even get internet service right now? That's the problem. Okay. Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
With your service provider, it is not compatible, it may work for a day or two, a week, but after a while, it will forces again the router to reset because compatibility issues. This is old. This is not compatible with the internet service provider. So, that's just one. You can work this out? Yes, you can work this out. Remember, physically it's okay. You can have this working out, but the danger of somebody trying to hack into your system, to log into your system is very real, because this is old technology. Are we struggling with the AI right now? [silence] Yes. Yes, I understand. Okay. Now, how about I'll send you an insurance
11:00
Speaker 1
we had we tried doing what, we I can't understand you. Have we tried doing what? The reset. Actually, the reset. Yeah, several times. And. And we talked to our internet provider and they said we needed to talk to you guys. I can't understand. I thought this was supposed to be USA. No. Okay. All right. Thank you. [silence]
