This is Linksys Technical Support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a Linksys specialist. Uh, hi, Jeremy. This is Paulo from to your call's to recorded for quality student. Yep, go ahead, sir. Uh, yeah, you uh,
00:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah, I'm so sorry, man. Yeah, I'm super sorry. I, I left, I left you a really nasty, and I'm really sorry. And my phone didn't populate that until I hung up, and then it said Linksys, and then... Listen, I just, I I want to, I want to preface this, the rest of this call with this message. So, I asked, I asked Siri one day, I was watching TV, I was doing, doing some other things, I was preoccupied, I said, uh, hey Siri, I said, uh, like, what's Linksys phone number? I didn't even want to look it up on my phone or whatever. So, uh, the first number that came up, I clicked on it on Google. And then boom, it wasn't Linksys. And I let this MFo onto my network and he had like four minutes [silence]
00:00
Speaker 1
All right. OK. Like you said, sir, you know the IP address to access the screen, right? You said it's 182 16 8. 1. 1. We'll use that.
01:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] But your brain with my stuff. And, and, and before I realized, before I looked and before I realized, I didn't listen for him say, hey, this this. Whatever the case, it was a marketing place. And this dude had access to my router for like four minutes. I, I, I sold. I gave away all my router stuff and got new stuff and I was trying to protect myself ever since then. I'm sorry, I'm timid, I'm shy when it comes I'm, I'm super secure is what I'm trying to say. And so, I super apologize, man. I should have never said that shit to you, man. That was very, very, very wrong of me. All right, so, yeah, I got my PC up and running. And, um, I'm ready to, ready to wait uh further instructions from you. Yeah. Yeah.
01:00
Speaker 1
All right. okay you have uh uh yes that message is not from linguist it's a message from your browser sir. So uh reddit. Thank you.
02:00
Speaker 2
168 1.1 and this that we use on the phone, it says the site does not support secure connection continue this site anyways. Looks like you're not connected to the network. Oh cuz wait a minute. because, uh, cuz I'm not just a minute, make sure I connect here to my stuff. Connect. All right, so just a minute, just. Alright, so now I'm connected. So then, uh, your connection isn't private. Attackers may be trying to steal your information. Why? Why do we always get this message? Why? I wonder why. It's this, this doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't register in my, in my, my, my brain. Can you explain that to me? It's a a I know. Browser. Yeah, I know. It says network error or cert common name.
02:00
Speaker 1
Yes, sir. Mm-hmm. Okay. Sure, I can. Okay. Now, there are three types of IP addresses there. It's Class A, Class B, and Class C. Now, most routers that are designed for home starts with a private IP address and it ranges from 182 to 168.1, and
03:00
Speaker 1
[silence] You've got one. And that's what you have, sir. That's basically the reason I said that. Uh it's Class C, sir. It's Class C. That's Class C. You're yeah. Yes. Yes, sir. All right, um okay. So, uh yeah, uh hold on. Uh you were able to click advance and what's on your screen right now? Okay, good. Oh, okay.
04:00
Speaker 2
Right. Okay. So class A, B, and C. And so what class is mine? And then like, I don't know. So, yeah. So nobody else on the rest of the worldwide web has access to my 192.168.1.1. Somehow, someway in a digital world. Okay, it don't make sense. It still don't make sense to me. But, uh go ahead. So look, so, uh again, I'm sitting here on this page, the same thing happened on my phone when I was on there. And it says, uh, enter your password to proceed. I'm on I got, I got the little, uh, Linksys logo on the very top left. Right below that, there's a gray line. Not to right. But right below that, there's a picture of my router. Below that, welcome, below that, enter your router's password to proceed.
04:00
Speaker 1
Jeremy. Jeremy, let me ask you what's on your screen, okay? Do you see there a signal? Signal for two cell phones or it's giving you a bunch of answer right now? Uh-huh.
05:00
Speaker 2
below that, password grey area, below that, where is it, question mark, and then below that, there's, the next key, and I don't know my password. admin don't work, all my passwords on my password manager did not work, so, uh, how can we do this without having a reset my whole router? And if we have to reset my router, I'm ready to do it. Go ahead. All right, go. Yes, I just did. I talker. Yeah. No. Okay, I just described to you exactly what is on my screen. On the browser, there is the link sys the LL going to the left with a little dot, the link sys logo. Below that, there's a picture of my router. Below that, there's welcome. Below that, there's enter your router's password to proceed. Below that, there's a password and a grey area for me to put my password in, which, nothing works. None of my password manager passwords can get. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
Thank you, Jeremy. Um, okay. Now, uh, the password that you're gonna use is the one underneath the router. There is a password right there. Okay, you've. Uh, okay. Uh, all right. Okay, like we have a.
06:00
Speaker 2
Something's working and it says admin does not work and then it says below that, where is it? Question mark and that's the hyperlink and then below that, there's the next key and that is all that is on my browser page right now. at 192.168.1.1 You're welcome, sir. Yes, I've used that too. I've used it too and it does not work. I went in, when I, when I first set this router up, I made it. I managed it. I took it in. I made a new password cuz I I wanted to be safe, secure, protected. So now I don't know it. So now it's gone. So I got to, I'm gonna I don't know. Yeah. Well, you know, let me let me let me just a minute before I, before I do all that. That's gonna be a lot of work after I reset it. I let me, let me, let me type it in. Let me type it in. Uh, I took a picture of it so I'm gonna type it in. I tried it on the phone, it didn't work.
06:00
Speaker 1
All right. Now, like we have agreed earlier, Jeremy, okay? We're going to try first some couple of steps before doing a reset. Now, you just confirmed to me, all right? That you're ready
07:00
Speaker 2
maybe it was a flaw. Maybe it put an extra space in there. Let me, let me just, let me type it in manually and just for shits and giggles. So, uh, thank you, sir. Mm. Mm. all right. Okay, shit, I think I missed it. all right, one more time. Oh. Okay. Um, Oh, yes, so, and valid. Yep, it doesn't work. Okay. Cool. Thank you.
07:00
Speaker 1
[silence] tried the password underneath the router and it didn't work. This is where we go the reset now. Okay? So, um are you ready to do that, sir? Okay. [silence] All right. Now, let's uh [silence] Okay. Now uh Okay. Now uh let's grab first the node. [silence] The MX62. [silence] The uh [silence] the MX62. Uh [silence] grab it first, and then I'll give you the instruction on how to properly reset that, sir.
08:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Correct. Oh, yeah, I guess so, man. I mean, and then I, I guess I know what to do after that. I mean, uh, I, I know what to do everything after that. I just have to, you know, get my TV and everything else reconnected. Man, shit. And then, uh, and then, but, yeah, let's, yeah, let's just fucking do this. Yeah, cuz I got to figure out how to sh that six point the six security system. Yeah. Yeah. The whale, whale, whale, uh, repeat. Repeat what we just said. Yeah, yeah. All right. I'm, I'm ready.
08:00
Speaker 1
OK. At the bottom of the node. There is a reset button. You're going going to press and hold that one for 60 seconds sir. Let me know if you're pushing it. 60, yeah. OK. Are you pushing it? OK. I'm starting the timer now. OK. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
I got it. Session. Okay. Okay. 60. Yeah, I'm pushing it. All right, go ahead and start the timer. Yes, I said start the timer. Yes. That's 50. Now, listen, let me ask you this while I got you on the phone. So, the situation I had about two years, three years ago when I called a random number that I saw on my browser. And I.
09:00
Speaker 1
Bansimaru, uh, sorry, it's just her to cut that you might go to the reset button, sir. Um, I don't see any um problem with that unless you can give out your information, sir. So if you just switch to a provider or buying new router, I don't see any problem.
10:00
Speaker 2
Click the number and called them and they connected to my network. What kind of damage could possibly be done? I want to know. Okay, great. What kind of damage could be done from that? I mean, I switched routers, I bought a brand new router, everything after that. I mean, there's no way they could still be, I don't know, any kind of way handicapped or connected to my stuff. After I changed routers?
10:00
