20:00
Speaker 1
Yep MX400D two and plug it yeah um six seven eight nine 10 and plug it in yeah

Okay, it's back up flashing red and the parent is still solid blue. [silence] Flashing red. Sure.
22:00

How about the child node? Do we have the option to wire a child node directly to the parent node? Can you please grab an extra Ethernet cable?
22:00
Speaker 1
Take me a minute to find the cable. There we go. All right. And it just turned a flashing blue. So yeah, slave node, the child node.
23:00

[silence] [silence] Now by the way, the child note is solid red. [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] Okay. This will take another minute. [silence] I need to connect the computer to the parent or the child. [silence] Yes. The internet cable it's connected. [silence] [silence] No.
24:00
Speaker 2
Oh no. We need to access the web interface. Do you have a laptop or a computer which we can use to do that? Okay. Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the parent node to the internet port of the child node. No, no. Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the parent node to the internet port of the child node.
24:00
Speaker 1
connected to the parent node and the parent node is connected to the child node with another cable. And you want me to connect a laptop in? Okay, okay, you know I have the Lexus app on the iPhone, right? Okay, okay, I'm hitting a laptop right now. Now the child node is solid blue. [silence]
25:00
Speaker 2
Okay, now make sure your laptop is connected to your Linksys network to the parent node via wi fi name and password. [silence] Do not use the Linksys app. [silence] We're going to use the web interface. [silence] That's okay. That's a good sign. [silence] But let's check also the firmware version.
25:00
Speaker 1
I'm getting logged into the laptop. And the Linksys app only shows the primary parent node. [silence] Okay. Not yet. It takes a minute for it to boot up. And let me get onto the right network.
26:00
Speaker 2
on that possibly cause the issue of the child nodes is your laptop connected now to the parents node? You need to also refresh your Linksys up. But to guarantee to provide exact information, so we need to access the web interface. So is your laptop connected to your parent node now?
26:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I'm currently connected to the parent network. I've got Google open. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Okay, it'll work. [silence]
27:00
Speaker 2

27:00
Speaker 1
that router is 10.1.48.1.1, no, not the primary. The primary is 10.1.48.1.1. 1.1 is the router on an adjacent network. The router for link this. But use a scoped address. Yeah. 10.
28:00
Speaker 2
Is it shows your connection is not private? No. 192.168.1.1. Okay, try to use that IP address to access the web interface of the router. Now. Yeah, make sure your laptop is connected to the parent node of the Linksys router. And then once it's connected, click the IP address on the address bar of Google.
28:00
Speaker 1
All right. I used the 10 dot IP address and let me see here where it go. Oh, here we go. Why am I getting a warning trying to access? I didn't get anything. There is it just way down on the page.

It says, "'Reset' admin password"' and, "'enter recovery key"' are the two options. Right, that's where I'm headed. Too dark, I got to get a flashlight.
30:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay, so it asks you to create a router password. So use the recovery key labeled on the bottom of the parent node to create an admin password. [silence] Yeah, on the bottom of the parent node, there you can see your recovery key. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now it wants me to create a password. [silence] [silence]
31:00

38:00
Speaker 1
All right, now you want to connect the internet to the new new parent mode. You had me replace it with the child that we're having trouble with, correct? Okay.
40:00
Speaker 2
Yep. Yes. Yep. Connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the internet port of the new parent nod - Yep - um
40:00
Speaker 1
[silence] you want the serial number of the former parent mode? Oh, well, that's the one that I gave you. I'm gonna go over here and look. I'm not going to do it from memory.

41:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it is: [silence] Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. [silence] Now you don't want me to do the direct connect between them, right? Okay, the new parent node is solid blue. And I just plugged in, oh, I haven't, I haven't get reset on anybody yet. You mean to reset the parent?
42:00
Speaker 2
Okay, now for the former parent node, place it two to three feet away from the parent, from the new parent node, and plug it directly to the wall outlet. And then we need to reset everything. So let's begin with the new parent node, press and hold it for, let's just say 20 to 30 seconds, and describe the light indicator, using a pin or paper clip. No need. Keep holding. Okay. I thought that's already booting up earlier.
42:00
