I have to go through all my apps here. I can see it here. You have so many apps, I know. If you see it here somewhere, is it that one? No, well, it it's not. No, I think it's it's already it's Yes. I
20:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Can you check? Can you check in the open application? I think it's on the left side. When you click that left side, it will show you what are the open or in the background. You should see one of those that are running in the background is your app. And it says app. [silence]
20:00
Speaker 1
Oh, there it is. Okay. I have the app. Okay. All right. And it says it's connected. Connect the router of your modem is connected. It says next, okay. Now, uh, just hit the next again. Okay. Uh, node light is solid. It says. This could take a minute, checking for internet. Name your Wi-Fi. Oh, I see. We're naming it now. Yeah. Is that the old Wi-Fi name? Oh, I was just Ooh, I see. I I will Ooh, I I'm looking at the same old one. I think it
21:00
Speaker 2
next. up. next. mm-hm. solid. next. okay. You can name the Wi-Fi the old Wi-Fi name and the password also. You can change it to the old Wi-Fi password. Go ahead. Continue. Yeah. Even if you want or you can change it to new one, I suggest. Uh, if you keep it that way, that's good one. So, that if you forgot, all you have to do is turn the router upside down. Oh, this is my Wi-Fi and this is my password. That's advantage. And then the disadvantage is if you have all devices, your TV was connected to let's say your
21:00
Speaker 1
Sorry, it's a password. Name or it exists. Yeah, it exists, yeah. I see. Oh, I see. So that this is where I could change the name then. Okay, I'll just make it simpler. But then if no, I kind of like to leave it because it matches what's on here. Okay, yeah. Yeah, but I'll change the I'll change the password. So now I can just print a new password. I erase it and then print a new one. Okay. [silence]
23:00
Speaker 2

34:00
Speaker 2
the upper left side of the screen, there are three bars. Can you click that one? And then go to the WiFi settings. This is the name of your WiFi and this is also the password. You can click the eye on the right side to see the password. Use this one to connect other devices to your internet. uh, can you click that one? It will uh show up. Okay. Now, this is where you want to change the WiFi name and the WiFi password. This is where it is. All right? Now, uh keep the name because that will be easier. You don't have to remember it. if you say, oh, I forgot the password.
