Speaker 1
You found me. Good for you. What happened was is that I, yeah, that's the problem. The problem is that I got a new phone yesterday and uh was, you know, moving everything over to the newer phone and it didn't, you know, of course, bring everything over. So when I try to log log in, it just keeps telling me that's not my credentials and it is. I mean, it's the same password, you know, that's underneath of my Linksys and and um everything is the same. So I don't understand why it's deflecting me and it won't let me in and I can't see the network. So I figured I would just call. Uh I tried both options, the email and the password and neither worked.
01:00
Speaker 2
thank you so much. You mentioned that you're having trouble logging into your Linksys system. Are you using the Linksys App? Mm-hmm. I see. All right. Were you trying to log in using the router password? Email no longer works since Cloud services are no longer available.
01:00
Speaker 1
Oh, wow, it gives me both. Okay, okay. Gotcha. Oh, my admin password. Okay, well, I'm going to try it while I got you on the phone here. And it's saying, let's try it here. I'm going to hit, I'm leaving on with router. I'm glad you tell me the email option doesn't work. I'm sure that'll be disabled here shortly. So, only the router password works. So, I'm going to hit reset password. Let's see, look at the bottom of your router for the recovery key and enter it below. So there's a router key on the Okay, gotcha. All right, so let me. Okay, so I'm gonna grab the parent here. Um, while I'm doing this, has uh any new versions come out since uh the versions I have or. Yeah, the model. So, just didn't know if anything new has come out. Okay. Is is that uh better than what I currently have? Then it is. Okay, gotcha. Okay. And what? What am I using now? Is it Wi-Fi 6 I'm assuming? Uh, [silence] Yes.
02:00
Speaker 2
is 7000 or what call, develop. Pro 7. And yes, if you consider using a Wi-Fi 7 connection, then it is
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay, that's not outdated, is it? Okay. Okay, gotcha. I'm still within what I need to be, because I didn't know if I needed to upgrade my whole system. Okay, good, that's good to know. All right, so I just put in that number and it says, you previously entered an incorrect password. Access will be locked to protect you if the next attempt is incorrect. Uh-h I put it in. Um, it was um, and I just you know submitted it, but uh that's what it came back with. Uh it is uh 32403.
04:00
Speaker 2
Yes, that's correct. That's correct, it's not outdated. Since the latest connections are Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7. So you're still within the top. All right. What's the five digit recovery key underneath the parent note? just to reconfirm Fee I K
04:00
Speaker 1
3, 2, 4, 3. Okay. Yes. Everything else works on it with exception of that. Yes. was working just fine on the old phone yesterday. Okay. That's not going to lock me out, that you think? Okay. Got you. Oh, I just wanted to ask. 33, 2, 3. It says new password.
05:00
Speaker 2
Alright, just to confirm your new cell phone, is it connected to the Wi-Fi? [silence] And your current Wi-Fi is coming from the Linksys as well, is that also correct? [silence] Alright, try typing in, [silence] try typing in the recovery key one more time on the reset password option. [silence] No, just put in the five digit recovery key. [silence] After you put in the five digit recovery key, where will it take you? [silence] Alright, so please create either a new password [silence] or you can just type in the same old admin password that you.
05:00
Speaker 1
That's you. I guess we'll have to do it again, because I don't even remember. it's written down, but yeah, let's just go with something different. Okay, okay, I'm just making sure all the characters are in. I'm ready to do it again. Hold on. I wish that you had like the little eyeball so you could see what you type in. But I... and it's submitting. I'm submitting. And it's saying getting router settings. That's further than I got last night. And now it's saying, okay, try to log in. Okay. It's going to try to log in successfully, trying to log me in. Getting router settings. [silence] Okay. Uh, I guess, it's building it out. I mean, I'm, I'm... it, the only thing it's showing is the three hamburgers. But nothing else. Uh, the only thing it's showing, I say again, is the three hamburgers, you know, just, just that, and I can click on that, but nothing is showing in the middle of the screen. Should I, uh, exit the app and go back in? No. Uh, well, I can try that. You're, you're right. It probably does. Um, it's showing me, you know, the the drop down box. Um, logout. There it is. Alright, found it. I'm logging out. Okay. Yeah. Hopefully I put it back in right.
06:00
Speaker 2
are you now in the dashboard is it also give you an option to log out once you're looping out once you're locked out try signing back in
08:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Oh, the eye was the eye showed up this time around. Okay, maybe something was going on. The idiot didn't show up last time a little eyeball. It should, you know, the show your password, when you're typing it in. Oh, okay. It let me log in 110%. So, I guess I had I need to reset up the gas, the guest password and all that all over again, huh? Uh, okay, so so is any of the functionality that's going to require me to since I changed phones to it doesn't log me back into the original settings, it kind of resets. Is that is that about correct? Okay, got you. So what I'll do is um, is there any
09:00
Speaker 2
all right yes if it's not visible then you need to manually put everything back in yes All right.
09:00
Speaker 1
[silence] other settings that I need to be aware of that need to probably be tweaked[silence] for my system? Okay. For now, it's nothing. Well, it came back with an unexpected area has occurred. Uh try these options to troubleshoot, close and reopen the app, reboot your router or log out and log in again. Okay. And I was just trying to set up[silence] Okay. Oh, that happened. Uh, okay. Okay. So even though that phone is turned off, you know, shut down, powered down, it's still tracking my old phone is what you're saying. So that one. Gotcha. I thought I logged out of it, but okay, maybe I[silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
For now, there's nothing else. Since you're currently just trying to reset up everything, there's no other changes that needs to be done. That's normal since currently you have two different devices using the same app with the same credentials. Yes, because you previously signed in to that one.
10:00
Speaker 1
I didn't. But okay, well, it seems fine. I mean, it did pull up a lot of the old information. It pulled up, you know, the login for the guest login. I just, uh, so everything's there. Let me just check the notes. I have seven notes. So, uh, yeah, all the notes, all the notes look fine too. So, hey, you are a tremendous help. I thank you very much for giving me right back set up. You too. Bye-bye.
11:00
Speaker 2
All right. All right. Thank you so much for calling, Lynx's as well. Take care and have a great day. Bye-bye for now. [silence]
