Hello? Yes. You've got me. I'm not sure what happened. I You couldn't hear me, but I could hear you. Yeah. Right. So my question is I'm not sure how much of my story you heard, but the thing is, I had [silence]

Put some appliances, um, which I had to connect to the network.

I screwed up the admin password and I think I may need to reset it. So, yeah, I was thinking that. I was thinking that, but I thought I'd better ask. Okay, I'm going to go around, power up the other nodes. Hold on. and you called me back on the cell phone, which means I can walk around and talk to you. Um, so just gotta plug all five of these guys back in and make sure they come up. Actually, I've got two more I I'd like to have two more on order.

Oh, well, there are four child. Total, system total is five, the child nodes is four. Maybe, maybe a year and a half, I'm not sure. And there really, no changes. It's just that one time, I guess I got forgetful and I was confusing the the [inaudible] admin password with the router password. And I don't want to change that. You know, the land, the Internet, the land password because got a bunch of devices and I'm happy with the password. I'm not having any trouble. It's just that I've managed what I wanted to do is go in and configure some things like DHCP reservations, which which reminds me. So, what happens is I I started to power up two nodes say it's okay. I can hook it up. I can hook it up.

Let me find the third one. I got one flashing red here. I guess it just hasn't linked yet. Yeah, What's wrong with it? So the receipt would come from Amazon. In fact, all of them came from Amazon. So what happened is I can always print another one. I think what happened is I... I think I made... I think I purchased three units and then later I purchased two more and now I'm on purchase

Still there? Still there? Okay, hold on. All right solid blue. Solid blue. Yeah. Yeah. I've got three out of four child nodes all powered up now. Let me um, get the last one. Yeah look solid blue on all of them. I've forgotten my um, I've forgotten my DNS names. Uh, give me a moment on that. Um, all five of them are up it appears. How many can I have?

No, it's not the right address, hold on. Yeah, what's the operating temperature? I have a building behind the garage and it's not air conditioned and it's not, no air conditioning, no heat, so it's going to be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I just don't know, I'm just wondering if I should try one out there and of course that might be a bit of an abusive location. Everything else is in a room which is air conditioned.

are They're all salty. It's just that I'm looking for something. I'm looking for the, um, the IP addresses of my four child nodes, uh, because I wanted to ping them. Uh, I forgot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [silence] That's a little marginal because although the temperatures don't normally get to 112, you know, the unheated building might, you know, oh, the un air conditioned building might. It's it's tempting. Maybe they should just put it out there only when I need it. Um, um, um, give me a moment. Oh, darn you. One, three, 26. E nodes, XLS X, E nodes. Oh. Oh. Come on. It was Microsoft. This thing's running slow. Ah, come on. Not that hard a problem. Uh, gimme a moment. I'm still trying to verify those addresses. E, C DRIVE. Nodes. Nodes.XLSX. All right.

All right. My and my addresses are going to be at 11 2 14. Yeah, just of all right, 11, 12, 13. I couldn't remember what I signed, so I had to look it up. And 14. Give me a moment. All four of the child nodes are running and responding to pings. Okay, so I guess we're ready to go back to the screen and try this. Let's say the reset password field.

Oh, give me a moment. Hey Rosie, I'm going to need to call you back, okay? I'm on the, I'm troubleshooting a network problem, I'm talking to Linus. I'll call you when I can, though. All right, bye. It says, right now it says, reset admin password, enter recovery key. That would be you. Right. I can see the diagram showing me where it is. Now I'm going to go look at the router and see what it is. Lower right-hand corner. Oh, there we go. 6, 7, 2, 8, 0. Again, I was afraid to change the password because I didn't want to go changing the uh, passwords and all the clients, but again,

I'd forgotten, the difference between the, let's say the, the password for the, for the web network versus the, the admin password for the routers. So, 67280 submit, right. Okay. And again, we were talking to all five routers when this, Oh, boy. Oh, I only get one try at this? It doesn't, it doesn't, um, ask for verification? You know how you sometimes put, you have to put the password in for, you have to put the password in twice, but apparently not this time. Okay. All right. All right. Yeah, stay there. Uh, the account holder will be notified when the password's been reset. Okay, I've, I've typed in the password and I just clicked on the eye to make sure that, you know, it's not being echoed. So I made certain that it sec the password, uh, unexpected error, if it could, yeah, I may have tried this before. We have an unexpected error. If it, it continues by the tech support thing. So it details. Um, oh dear. There's something here, but I can't read it. It's a, um, yeah, I may have tried this before and hit the unexpected error which I then forgot about. All right, there seems to be an unexpected error here. I don't know why.

Let me make sure I copied that five digit number correctly. Okay. so I wouldn't get that expectations. Okay. doesn't get that far. Okay. 6-7-2-8-0. All right. Unless I want a power clear this damn thing before we do this. Okay, I have a um. Am. that says create a new admin password and hint. For the third time, I'm going to click reset. Okay. it says unexpected error 2298. Go to the technical support site. I don't know, maybe say error 2298. [silence]

Yeah. Uh, there you go. I got a, I went to click on that, the tech support page, and I got a 404 error. What is the, uh, It's, it's, um, it's Microsoft Edge. Should I go, should I go to Google? Yeah. Okay, paint the... 192.168.1.1. Why am I getting a warning? Sometimes people tell me it's something like browser cookies, which can get you into trouble. Uh, continue. All right. Give me a moment. advance to what I want to say is just go ahead with this error, 6, 7, 280. six seven 6 280. Okay, gotcha. UH we are here on Chrome and I'm going to go to the lower right where it says reset password, and to recover

recovery key six seven, two, eight, zero and submit. Hello. Waiting. Let's see. All right. The password hint. The hint is quarter to ten. And the password. Hello. What sort of passwords? I'm trying to remember what I'm doing here. Unexpected error two two nine eight. [silence]

Right. Yep. Okay. Uh change password and hint. Yeah. It's. So, it wants me to put in. All right here. Okay, here's the thing that the, this thing just told me something. This, this thing just told me something that the other app did not tell me. It's a.

10 characters. It has to have an upper lowercase, one number, and one special. So what happened is, the phone app is telling me something that the other app didn't. Okay? And that might be the key that might be the key to doing this. Okay. um. Yeah, the other it wants 10 as a minimum. It wants an upper and a lower, it wants at least one number, and one special. So, well, I can't have the same password twice in a row. And I need, hold on. So I've got to pick a new you. Um. Give me a moment. [silence] You're more then—H on [silence] [silence] O and shoot. Hey I got the screen up but then I lost it. Give me a moment. Um So I'm trying to save it. Change was saved. Okay. Can you hear me? The change was saved. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back to the computer and I'm going to try to log in. Um [silence] maybe using edge again but if that doesn't work I'll try uh Chromeuh I do an https Yeah so I guess I accidentally changed my password when I didn't want to butuh and the password rules are tougher than I thought but the problem is the online app didn't tell me how tough it was. So it errored out but it didn't give me a reason. you know yeah you know the interface the web interface did not give me uh right axis vel up and I'm going to try the password that I just created.

All right. I think it's working. Okay? So the thing is, by you taking me over to the app, the phone app, I learned something that I didn't know using the computer interface. that there are rules, that there are password rules here. I mean, you know, it's not I'm certainly used to password rules, it's just that I didn't know there were any here. Yeah, cause they didn't tell me. And if I'd looked in a book, I might not have picked it up picked up on it anyway. All right, so it looks pretty normal. Um, what I may do, oh, I got another question for you about filtering. I have a couple of clocks on order. And they the clocks, they're they're they're wall hanging clocks and they get

Sure. There's time by doing wireless to you know, on a wireless network to an NTP server. Okay. Technically. The wireless clock to talk an NTP server, you know, network time protocol. So the question is, I've read that maybe the performance of these clocks would be get better if I put in filters, that if I limit it to NTP and uh, what's the other one maybe DHCP or you know, DNS, you know, limit the number of ports that they will be uh, limit the number of um, ports that will be appearing on the uh, on those particular devices. So have you ever heard of that before, like improving performance of certain devices by blocking ports? Because I would think that what these things would need maybe DNS and DHCP and uh, ping, which is ICMP and then what's the other one. [silence]

Hey, like PING like ICMP, DNS, NTP and one more I can't remember right now. Give me a moment I'm gonna. All right, let's try DNS. Right, Well, I don't have I don't have the clock yet, so I don't have the addresses. Um, I don't have either address. I'd run the address systems. Yeah, I think because I would not want those addresses changing on me. What I would do is nail them down using, uh, you know, DHCP reservations. Uh, so DNS, DHCP, NTP. Yeah, ICMP if I want to try ping and NTP. And what all I have to do, I think they're all I think they're all UDP ports. I'll have to look them up, you know, but uh. think, um, can I do port filtering? Let's say, to limit those, you know, take the addresses, both the Ethan addresses and the Mac addresses, you know, the IP addresses and the Mac addresses for those two devices and limit it to DNS, DNAHCP, ICMP, and NTP. And again, I will have to look up those port numbers. I'm pretty sure they're all, um, I think they're all UDP because these are not, you know, based. You know, conversations. You know, so I don't make character, right? Now, what I'll do is I'll just try the clocks out of the box and see how that goes. Yes, router settings. I do have ports going on a different device for a different reason. So, I get the admin password. Uh, password.

but the thing is, they work by NTP and what they need is an offset. So I've seen they're offsetting to, they're doing the offset to UTC time, which is the way DNS works. Oh, the way NTP works anyway. Uh, yes. Right now I'm running, I have a reason for wanting two different time zones, um, for that's what the two clocks are for. Uh, and what they do is they reset every minute. You know, they're supposed to be, high accuracy, they're supposed to be, speed, stability.

reset every minute against an NTP server. Mhm. And I think you have to, you know, I, I don't think they depend on upstairs, but, uh, where do I find port forwarding? Is it under internet settings? All right, I think I'm in the wrong tab. Um, give me a moment. I think I'm going to have to get out of this node and go to, um, again, because I screwed up the password. It's been a while since I've been in here, so I've forgotten things. You know, all right, security, firewall. Um, thing. SP1 firewall protection. Uh, I've, I got firewall protection on for IPv4 and 6. Uh, port service, IPv6 firewall. I'll not do that. All right, DMZ. Apsin gaming. DMZ. Yeah, single. Oh, ha. Under apps and gaming, I've got DDNS. I've got single port forwarding, port range forwarding, port range triggers. All right. But that's the gaps in gaming. I may have configured some things, I may have lost them. Um, do I have an application? I haven't used it in a little while, which, uh, requires, uh, filtering. I may have forgotten how to do this. So, but I think I'll be okay. I've done it before. All right? So, I guess by trying the app, by going to the phone app, which was your advice, we learned something, that's saying on our, on a password change, we have to go with the 10 minimum, one upper, one lower, one special, one number. And no, and no, and no, um, no repetitive characters. So that's, that's pretty tough. You know, yeah, okay. That's pretty, but even if it wasn't,

When I had a password chosen, which was 10 character say, no repeating characters. I go, oh, okay. I mean, even tougher than I'm used to. All right. Well, I think we're good. Uh, thanks very much. And what I'll do is to keep things organized around here, I think I'm going to set up some DNS reservation, you know, some DNS uh, uh, you know, some DHCP reservations. Okay? Uh, so I used to do this for a living, but I've gotten rusty since I retired. Okay? No, I think we're good. And if I ever have trouble, I'll just remind her to go to Amazon and grab my, uh, receipt for the first purchase, the second purchase, and now the third one. Okay? Thank you. Now, are there more than one there? Are there more than one now? I think there's a new version like Wi-Fi 6 is like, Wi-Fi 7 now, is that right? I'm happy with these. I don't know if I would outgrow them. Um, how many notes could I have? I might have around 30 configurations for all my, uh, Wi-Fi devices. Those can be uh, sorted by name and that's uh, mainly what I'm doing. Just looking for stuff by name. If you ever have trouble with your Wi-Fi, whatever trouble you encounter, just tell me about it. Chirping.
