24:00
Speaker 2
Linksys discontinued the link to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi remote access, so that could be the reason why we're not uh uh uh doing it successfully, we're not able to uh uh uh uh uh uh change the settings successfully. So can we use your laptop instead? Let's do it from the laptop. We will access your router settings using your laptop. Okay, kindly go to the Wi-Fi settings on your laptop, just like what we did.
25:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. It's still looking. [silence]

it's not letting me do it. No, I have a laptop. So, I can't right click. It's not, it's click it's clicked, but it's just not.
28:00
Speaker 2
Cause it seems that we need to re enter the password, man. If you right click the network name, do you have the option to forget it? Forget the network? What is the LED indicator on the on the pair on your Linksys router? Is it still solid blue?
28:00
Speaker 1
Hold on, Steve. I need to go over there. Okay. Yes. Yes. Yeah, it's still solid. I think so, yeah. Oh God, this is an old computer. That's why I'm saying it.

Is it Windows 10, Windows 11? Okay. Uh, can we click on the start button at the bottom left? And then do you see control panel?
29:00
Speaker 1
Should I just get a new link, D, or what should I do?
30:00
Speaker 2
actually, ma'am, the link sees is uh still working. okay? it's still working fine. it's just that uh we're having trouble right now se, um, changing the wireless settings. right now, we're able to go online. where we just need to personalize the wireless settings. yes, and [silence] the app. I Okay. Yes. ma'am. I Okay. if you go to Wi-Fi, you're still connected to that, right?
30:00
Speaker 1
No, I went back to my, it, well, it's on, yes, it's my network, yes, but no, I'm on my my my Wi-Fi, my personal one now. I have my other network. I have two networks. This is my second one. Yeah. This is my second one for the cottage because it won't reach because we have a stone cottage. And it won't reach. Treasure. Yes. On my phone, but not on my computer.
32:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so you see your network now. It's no longer Develop Setup. Oh, you have two networks. Oh, I see. But right now, on your phone, if you connect to if you connect to Develop Setup Network, can you go online? [silence] Yeah, actually, on your computer, ma'am. There's a need for you to remove the network because it seems that it's remembering or it's saving the old password. So we really need to reenter the password for your Linksys router. Once you right-click on the name or once you click on the name, there should be an option there for forget network.
32:00
Speaker 1
Set up. Complete set up. So in order to do anything LinkC you have to be on the on the LinkC network. Is that what you have to do? What do you mean three lines? No I I'm not. It won't let me get to that screen. It won't let me get to the screen. I have to go over. I have to go over here. Hold on one second please. [silence]
34:00
Speaker 2
Okay, how about this, how about this map? Yes. In order for us to be able to configure it, we need to keep to be connected to the Linksys network. Do you see the uh, do you see the three lines on the on the app on the Linksys app? The three bars or the three lines. Is there an option for you to on the left side? If you open up, guess what we're going to Do here is we're going go we need to sign out from your account from your links to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account be. It it's again as I mentioned earlier ma'am, the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi remote access website has been discontinued. So we won't be able to. Yeah, they did an update, so that has been discontinued. But your router internet connection will still you uh will will still continue to work normally, okay? You can still manage your router locally by accessing the myrouter.local or the router IP address. So we can still use the app, but we need to um select local access, not the uh uh the username and password from uh for your link to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. 'cause they had uh discontinue that feature the remote access route.
34:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on one second. Let me. Why did they take the app away? [silence]
36:00
Speaker 2
well there are I think they they did some changes so I also cannot speak in behalf of the uh over over the uh of the higher management ma'am so maybe they um they they did some innovation uh
36:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I mean, I'm having a problem here now with any of my connection. No, I have to hold on one second. Hold on one second. You know, it's the Wi-Fi is just hard.
37:00
Speaker 2
And they're trying to switch to, some other technology. They're trying to switch to a different approach. So, we're still getting some updates from them. And, yeah. What do you mean, ma'am? We're still connected. Are you still connected to the valve setup or to your different network?
37:00
Speaker 1
Could I get to here, cause it's, it's an old building we live in.
38:00
Speaker 2
okay. alright, well, no worries. I mean. Terrible. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. well, develop setup, you can still yes, you can still connect to develop setup, but that's the default network. [silence]
38:00
Speaker 1
Got you. Okay. Okay. So, how do I sign out. I'm going to have to call back because it's, I I just yeah. So. Okay. So should I unplug it or leave it on or? [silence]
39:00
Speaker 2
name okay it's still secured if you connect to vell Vall app setup as you can see earlier you're still able to go online with the with the app setup name the the default name but the next thing that we're gonna do is we need to personalize your network that's uh that's we've been having trouble cuz you are connected remotely to your to the smart app so we need to sign out from there so we can access it locally okay no worries you can always just give us a call back and you can just leave it on uh you can leave it on since right now you are connected to you can still connect to vell setup so you have the option to connect [silence]
39:00
Speaker 1
u know. a I have a network. Yeah. Yeah. See, that's just like a booster for our cottage, uh because we have we have people that stay there. But they can go on my wi-fi, or if they go on velop setup, what would they, what password would they use? Oh, okay. I see, I see. Okay, you taught me a lot. Okay. So I have, I have people staying in my cottage, so they can use this and it would be secure and they're okay with that, because they, they can't get my, they cannot get my network in in the cottage. They can't get it. That's why we have this, because it reaches over there.
40:00
Speaker 2
that is the default password that you have on the router. It's underneath the router map. Yes. Yeah.
40:00
Speaker 1
Okay, and then I'm gonna call back tomorrow because, you know, it's funny. The warranty, I guess it's over in December. I have that written on here. Is that what is that true? Yeah, I have that written on here. December 10th to be exact. You're right. Okay. So then they can use this because this reaches over there. His mind doesn't, my Wi-Fi doesn't. Okay. Um, and then I'll have to call tomorrow and then just get it checked. So why do you think this happened? So it's a blue light though. The blue light is indicating what? It's working or not working?
41:00
Speaker 2
So you may just try to connect to vell up setup and put the default password, it's underneath the router, you can take a picture of the settings mem so they would be able to connect.
41:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. That's what happened before. No connection. Okay. Okay. Okay. I will send this to them and then they can use this and then I'll have to call back tomorrow and I don't know what I'm gonna do. Thank you very much. You've been very helpful. I really appreciate your help. Thank you. Thank you too. Bye bye. [silence]
42:00
Speaker 2
Okay. the blue light there, um, it indicates that your link this router is communicating with your modem. With your Comcast box. Red light, that means there's no connection. Mm-hmm. Okay, not a problem, ma'am, but I really appreciate your patience. I'm so sorry if this is taking so long. No worries, Ms. Patricia. Thank you again for your time. This is Ebi from Linksys.
