to connect back the link key onto that so I have I wirelessly, I just hard wired it and is there a way for me to connect it wirelessly? [silence] I have a question. When you say reset everything, everything that's connected to to this router will need to be reconnected back, is that what you're saying? Like all my devices that's connected? [silence] Oh, like it's factory reset? But oh, I don't want to do that because I have a lot of outside camera and they're up high on the house and for me to reset them, I have to [silence] do something.
01:00
Speaker 2
Oh yeah, so for this one, first, since you just switched an internet service provider, so you need to re you need to reconfigure everything. Uh uh but before we proceed on some other troubleshooting, can I have the model number and the serial number of the main LINCIS router? I'll reconfigure. I, I, no, sir. So the what I'm trying to say is you need to set it up. Like you need to to begin again or start from the scratch, yes.
01:00
Speaker 1
I have to get in front of the camera to scan them to get them to work.
02:00
Speaker 2
But you, uh, did- did that, I mean, did you switch already an internet service provider, or you're still planning?
02:00
Speaker 1
provider and I couldn't connect it back wirelessly to this provider. So I had it hardwired into the modem and it was working. So, and it's still working with the hardwire, but I was just wondering if I can do it wirelessly without resetting all the cameras and everything that I have connected to it currently. Okay, let me go see. I have the router, it's a E9 450. Is that the model number? Okay. Yeah. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
uh uh yes sir the Linsys router uh should be uh yes sir oh okay uh first things first sir what is the model number of your Linsys router for me to answer your question yes sir okay is the router that you have sir e ninety five fifty ok
03:00
Speaker 1
Not nine five, 9450. Oh, so right now I have it hardwired into the current Wi-Fi provider modem and it's working fine. That's the only way to connect it is [inaudible]. Oh, okay, so you can have three... Oh, okay got you. Okay, I was just going to see if I can wireless connection. There is no option for wireless connection. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
So this router, sir, is actually... Oh, 9450. Okay, this router that you actually have, sir, so... This is a standalone router, sir. So you cannot add another router, not unless if you are going to set it up on a bridge mode to expand... the coverage of your router. Because the latest routers... Yes. Yeah. Because it should be. Yes, sir, because it should be hardware. Because there is no option for this. I'm sorry. [ silence ]
04:00
Speaker 1
what is bridge mode ? what does that mean? okay oh okay so about for that for that to happen you have to reset the whole router?
05:00
Speaker 2
yes sir not unless you put this one into bridge mode or the other router to be on the bridge mode if you're going to put this one into bridge mode so it will only going to act as an access point and not as a router but of course if you're going to do it the settings under this NA E9450 will change and of course automatically since there is no internet source cuz the modem that you have can only provide an internet through a wired connection if it's only a modem alone IF it's a modem router or a gateway then yes it can give you an internet connection wired and wireless. So um, sir, I'm sorry.
05:00
Speaker 1
Am I correct?
06:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, but what I can actually suggest, okay, I totally understand that one, sir, so what I can really suggest, sir, in your situation since your main goal is to expand the coverage of your Wi-Fi, correct?
06:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I don't wanna change that. I'll just leave it the way it is because my house the cameras are up high. I have to get up here and a ladder or not. and all kind of thing and it's like four of them. the reason why I kept this this router and I plug it into the Wi-Fi because I didn't want to go up to the ladder and connect it to my current Wi-Fi, each camera. So I guess I'll just leave it wired. But once it's wired into the modem, it doesn't it doesn't affect my my current modem like Wi-Fi signal like the strength of it. Am I correct? Okay. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
beginning. But since all of the settings or your setup is already like this so if you want this one to act then yes, everything under the settings of this E9450 will gonna be affected. No.
07:00
Speaker 1
And it can be side by side next to the modem. without any interruption after. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's all I need to know. So I guess I'll just leave them the way they are. All right. Thank you. No, I'm good. Thank you. You too, bye bye.
08:00
Speaker 2
your router can also do. Exactly how you expect it to perform. Yes. If they should be sitting beside each other. Okay. Yes, sir. Okay. Would there be anything else, or maybe some clarification? Okay. Have a good one, sir. Bye bye.
