03:00
Speaker 1
Well, my roommate wasn't able to sign in. Now, I realize I'm not able to either. Both mobile phones can't connect, actually. I'm not using the router for my desktop computer. All right, uh, Alex, I have to It will be my fault. You're welcome. Can you hold on one second, please? Are you using any other device other than your phone? Like you're a laptop or anything like that? Yeah, I've tried my laptop and it doesn't work. Okay, so it's also on the laptop. That's correct. Yes. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
Is it only one device that could not connect, or all devices could not connect to your Wi-Fi by typing, hmm. All right, uh, Alex, I have to inform you first that your router EA7300 is already out of warranty. So when you try to connect to your Wi-Fi router and you type in the correct Wi-Fi password, it will not connect. Or does it [silence] say invalid password? Okay. [silence] Does it? [silence] Okay. [silence] So, mm, on your computer, were you able to access your Wi-Fi router without any problem? Yes, okay.
04:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. No, it just won't connect at all. It says, what does it say, Eric? It says incorrect password. I had the same problem, incorrect password. As far as I know, I've had other roommates, I don't know if they changed him or did whatever. All I'd like to ask you to do is if you can please help me reset the password, then maybe I'm I could be done with this. Okay. Are you kidding? You're kidding me. I mean, I I barely use it. I know it's not new, but I've switched it. I've used it. I get all the time, so if it's horrible, then it's not me who's horrible. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
Stay connected but no internet. I just want to... Mmhmm. But you're sure that that is the correct Wi-Fi password of your router, right? Yes, we could do a reset on your password but you have to log in to your router's web user interface and as I've mentioned, your router is already out of warranty so I could not provide you free technical assistance. If you want me to walk you through the steps, you will have to apply for the paid support. If
05:00
Speaker 1
I barely use this router. I've used it for a short while and it's just been sitting, and then I put it here. What are you talking about? What do I have to pay? [silence]how much is the paid service?
06:00
Speaker 2
Uh, if you want me to walk you through or guide you on how to access your router's web UI and how to change the Wi-Fi password, you're gonna have to pay for the paid Connect service. If you don't want to pay, I can just send you the email, the uh guidelines on how to access your router's interface and change the Wi-Fi password. I can email you the guidelines via email and that's free. Uh, the paid Connect service will cost you $15 US. That's a one-time nonrefundable technical support that will only last for a maximum of 60 minutes. And if the minutes is up, you will have to pay again.
06:00
Speaker 1
Oh my God. Is it complicated or is it is it relatively straightforward? Okay, but just resetting the password is not complicated.
07:00
Speaker 2
again, another $15 US. [silence] I suggest you go for the email support because it's free. I can just send you the guidelines on how to access your router's web interface so that since it's just changing your Wi-Fi password, it's easy to do. [silence] No, it's not complicated because it's just like logging into your router's website and then you change your router's Wi-Fi password. Unless you want a reset or do a reconfiguration of your router then that would be a little bit complicated. [silence] Yes. Um if it's just changing your Wi-Fi password. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so I, I, I, and then, man, just so I'm clear, if I'm not understanding you, I will have to reset my, my router again, or will I be able to just reset the password? I'm not sure what you're telling me. Well, I don't want to change it cuz I don't know what it is at this point that what I have under the bottom of the router is not working. So I'm unaware of what my password is.
08:00
Speaker 2
I have to explain to you that changing Wi-Fi password is as easy as 123, but resetting your Wi-Fi password uh that means you would have to do a reset on your router, a reconfiguration, and it's like setting up your router again, and that's the hardest part. Because it would need a lot of Okay. So let's just clarify. You just want to change your Wi-Fi password, right? Right. So if you just want to change the Wi-Fi password, you would just have to log into your router's web interface and then change the Wi-Fi password.
08:00
Speaker 1
OK. Let me let me be clear one more time. When you say change the password, I can't say that I'm changing the password because I don't know what the password right now is. So I would in essence need need to be doing a brand new password, because I don't know what it is. So I'm not changing it. I'm trying I need to put in a brand new password because I don't know what the password is. It's not what is understood on the unit.
09:00
Speaker 2
But if you want to do a reset on your router, which will return back to its default Wi-Fi password. The one that's indicated on your router's product label sticker, then you will have to do a re-configuration. [silence] Right. [silence] Right. [silence] Right. Right. It's fine if you don't know the password because once you log in to your router's interface, you will see what your Wi-Fi password, and you will know if your Wi-Fi password was changed or not. You can view it on the router's interface.
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay. All right. So yeah, please send me the email. Let me get started on this. I'd appreciate it. Do you mind if I keep you on the line? Oh, can I keep you on the line until I receive the email so I make sure I don't have a problem or will it take some time for it to populate? Okay. Well, then I'll wait for the email. And okay, very good. Thank you. Have a great one. Bye. Okay, check your email after a few minutes. Bye. Okay, why not.
10:00
Speaker 2
"enter face" "All right. All right. So I'll be sending you the email. It may take some time as I'm creating a ticket for your case. It'll take at least three minutes," that's all. If you haven't received it, if you still haven't received it, after three minutes, you can always call us back again. All right. Thank you for calling, Alex, and take care. Have a great one. Just check your email after three minutes for the guidelines, okay? Bye."
