34:00
Speaker 2
And your internet address. Do you see any information in line with your internet address? Can we gently scroll down to the very bottom . Look for ports. Where is the X mark? Can we make sure that your Ethernet cable, sir, is not plugged into the port four? I guess it's connected to one of your Ethernet ports. Make sure it is connected to the internet, the yellow internet or the WAN port of the router. Because your router keep on blinking red, which means there's a problem with the physical connection. So we need to make sure that the ethernet
34:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I have that. Now it is red, solid. I think I had it plugged in the wrong port. I think it's now red, solid. [silence]
35:00
Speaker 2
cable is plugged in from the modem to the WAN or yellow internet port of the router.
35:00
Speaker 1
It is red right now. So you want me to, okay, so unplug both of them. Okay. How long should I wait? Thank you for your help. [silence]
36:00
Speaker 2
And what is the light indicator of the router? Solid red. So let's proceed to power cycle the modem from your spectrum. Sure. And the router from Linksys. So kindly unplug unplug the power power adapter of your Linksys router including your modem. Yes. Let's just say 30 seconds. You're welcome. Okay. Now press.
36:00
Speaker 1
Uh... It looks like... Ok. Ok. Thank you.
37:00
Speaker 2
I decided to plug the power back of the Router from Linksys. Then the modem and they are both booting up correct okay while waiting for both devices sure to fully boot up and to reconnect let me hold this call three to five minutes to allow resources in my end so just please stay on the other line, I will be right back. Thank you
37:00
Speaker 1
Okay. I am. It is wrapped solid. Yep. Yes. Yeah. Okay. You see if I can do that? Actually, it does not have net for. I.
41:00
Speaker 2
OK, so thank you for patiently waiting, David. Are you still there? What is the life indicator of the router now? Solid red? Do you have a computer or a laptop which we can use to wired directly to the modem? OK, so this would be your third up data. You need to unplug the router and then connect the ethernet cable from the modem directly to your computer. Check if your computer has an ethernet port. Or do you have other devices in your end that has an ethernet port? Or any device that can wire directly to the modem. Because we need also to test if the modem is providing any Internet connection. Yeah, because I would like to set an expectation. Yes, but then our Linksys router is dependent to the modem who provides Internet connection. We tried to access the web interface. [silence]
41:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. So can I ask you a question? Okay. If my cable from the box into the house if that was if that has been damaged, that would show no internet connection. Correct. Um,
43:00
Speaker 2
So it shows no internet connection. We checked also the firmware version, it's up to date and there's no internet, yeah, there's no internet address indicating, yes, go ahead. There should be no X mark if your ethernet cable, sir, is defective, but we see an X mark earlier. So which means your ethernet cable is working, including your port of the router, right? But then your router doesn't receive any internet connection coming from the modem. So we need to verify if the modem really has internet connection by wiring a device directly to it.
43:00
Speaker 1
to get a device, I guess and call you back maybe, then, because I don't have a... Okay, I'm on the Wixus Wi-Fi tool, I'm on there. Okay. Okay, I've done that. Do you want me to go? [silence] I just press the power button on my back on. [silence] Yep. Can you hear me seeing me now or? [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] Okay. It's probably a browser thing then. [silence] Yeah, sometimes with some of them. [silence] Yeah, so if you go into Safari or Google ow Chrome and run this website from there, that might.
44:00
Speaker 2
maybe you can't we can try to reset the router for the last time and then let's proceed to set up this one again but let's try to access the web interface kindly press and hold the reset button of the router again sir or let's access the web interface sorry go to the web interface go back to the links to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi tools okay go to troubleshooting or refresh the web page first refresh the web page then go to troubleshooting
44:00
Speaker 1
Ok, I'm there. Do you want me to go to record? I've got internet one GPS and now actually now the light is blue and it's solid blue.
45:00
Speaker 2
going go back to troubleshooting. Yes, report and then scroll down on the very bottom. Look for port. Okay. So it means the ethernet cable, not defective. Okay, check if you have internet connection now since the light indicator turned solid blue. Solid blue, it means it's already set up and have internet connection. Can Let's check if you can router.
45:00
Speaker 1
Okay, what do I need to do? So the only internet would appear. Oh, I think. Yeah. Oh, can you check Netflix? [silence] Oh, yeah.
46:00
Speaker 2
So, do you have an internet connection? You can also check your Web interface or check your network status. Is it shows connected? The link Linksys Smart Wi-Fi tools refresh to web page and then check your network status. If there is a green check mark on the device and then on the Internet.
46:00
Speaker 1
I'm sorry. Can you just do that again under Linux system where do you want me to be? Yeah. It does show Connected. Okay. Yes.
47:00
Speaker 2
And it shows connected on top. Click OK. Go back to the main page, and then check your network status. Does it show as connected? So, which means you have internet connection now. Would you like to change your Wi-Fi name and password? Okay. Go to Wi-Fi settings. And then change your Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password and do a screenshot for reference.
47:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so I, I see, Wi-Fi settings, but I don't see, how do I change the name of it? Because right now it's, oh, okay, I see that, huh? Okay, so I can change the name there. Then you said take a screenshot.
48:00
Speaker 2
Sure, browse to what we in the router say settings, connectivity than troubleshooting, Wi-Fi settings. Yeah, with go screenshot for reference. Yes. And then...
48:00
Speaker 1
All right, let's finish out again. Okay. Okay. It took a photo, okay? And then just hit, okay? Okay. Okay, you want to continue? Yes. [silence]

Speaker 1
It says. m because I can't tell. You gave me a message router not found. When you say reconnect, what do you, what do you mean? Unplug and replug?
50:00
Speaker 2
That's configuring. Okay, so you will totally disconnect with your network. So once it's configured, you need to reconnect your devices to your new Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password. Okay. Reconnect your devices now to your new Wi-Fi name and password. And once the router is still steady blue, and you're able to access the internet, it's good now. So we're good to go since you're already set up. Select your new Wi-Fi name. And no, it's not. Select your new Wi-Fi name and enter your new Wi-Fi password because you changed your name and password. That's why you're no longer connected to your network. [silence]
50:00
Speaker 1
But, you know, it tells me that I know Rotterdam is no longer found. I did that. Yep. Okay. Yeah. And then she, I got it. Okay.
51:00
Speaker 2
No, it's not, it's not about that. Okay, we change your Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password. Earlier you are connected to your Lynx has set up. We change that. That's why you are no longer connected. So you need to go to the Wi-Fi settings again or go to your settings, network and internet, check your available network, select your new Wi-Fi name and enter your new Wi-Fi password to connect.
