Can I have the serial number of the node that you're calling about? You're calling... I guess you're calling for the child nodes here, um, not the parent node. We have to...

02:00
Speaker 1

Uh, uh, you can get the serial number. Yep. Oh, by the way, how about this? Uh, do you have to links this app with you?
03:00
Speaker 1

Is that okay? Super. I'm going to put you on speaker.Okay. Can you hear me? Super, I'm going to go to the Linksys app on my phone.I'm going to open it.Do you want me to go under nodes? Okay.It's still pulling everything up so if you'll be[silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
Maybe the uh we can get. we can also get the serial. number there. That's okay yes. Yes, sir I can yep. Mmm. Say. Mm. yes, sir.
04:00
Speaker 1
for doctor for just a minute. Well, I'm clicking on the nodes, but okay, it's it's starting to come up. It's just a little slow. Okay. Okay, I have a uh uh you want the main uh the main node? Okay, let me see if I can get that for you. serial number is 2 0 J is in Johnson 1 0 C is in Charlie 6973231 one.
05:00
Speaker 2
Is it okay? OK. Uh-huh. Serial number sir, yeah. Oliver Eades is back. It's 20J10C.
05:00
Speaker 1
That is correct. [silence] Yeah. It's the Wi-Fi password. Okay, good. Yeah. In fact, one of the nodes is located very near.
06:00
Speaker 2
6973 2311 And, um, yes. While the system is validating, the internet status of the device, you said you want to change a password. Uh, is this uh a Wi-Fi password or a router password? I'm Carl. I see. Well, actually, um, yeah, we can change it by the use of the Linksys app, sir, since you're on it right now. We can change it there. Okay. Now, just I just want to make sure, okay? Uh, you said the uh, the nodes are the main location. Do you think where you are right now still gets the signal before you we make some changes?
06:00
Speaker 1
You know, uh, okay. Let me explain. Uh, we have the main house, and inside the main house, there are two nodes. We also have a, we have an area over the garage. The garage is separate to the main house, but there's a room over the garage, and I have the third node in that room over the garage. Yeah, just the password. Okay. Okay. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. I see. Well, okay. Well, yeah, we can change the WIFI password. Do you wanna change the WIFI name? Just the WIFI password, right? Okay. Now, we went to your app, went to the nodes. Let's go back to the main page. And then tap on the three lines again on the upper left. That's the menu bar. And go to the settings.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay, so let me make sure I'm clear. Right now, under Wi-Fi settings, I see up at the top, it says 2.4 gigahertz band, and it has the Wi-Fi name, and it has the password listed. Or the password is there. Then below that, it says 5 gigahertz band with a different Wi-Fi name, but the same password. And then down at the very bottom, it says 5.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Wi-Fi settings. Now from there you can see the name of your network, WiFi name and you have also dots for every frequency, that is, uh your existing Wi-Fi password. You can change it there, change each of them, each field under Wi-Fi password.
08:00
Speaker 1
Gibber hours with a small two after gigahertz and so there's actually three. So would I change it for all three? is that what you're saying? All right. Now here yeah and here's the next question the most important one is it just a matter is it just a matter of me removing the existing password and typing in a new password is that is that all I have to do
09:00
Speaker 2
mhm okay yes for all three sir yeah for three because you want to change the Wi-Fi yes and by the way since you asked me that question there are wireless devices right now right there right there connected especially your phone right now so uh I don't know how many they are probably there are around 30 or 40 devices connected wireless once you change the password of course they're going to be disconnected but you have to reconnect them one by one uh
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Because right now, when I go back to the dashboard, it says there are six devices. Yes. Okay. So, uh, all these, like these six that come up, I'm going to have to change the password in these locations. Okay. All right. So,
10:00
Speaker 2
mm hmm, okay, not that many, so that will only take you um, not too long to to connect them, but it's okay. Yeah, I'm just setting your expectation because I didn't know that you have, you might have 50 or wireless 50 wireless devices and they're all over the place. So, you have to reconnect them one by one. Yeah. Yeah, whatever they are, maybe a television. Uh, a laptop. Uh, any any six devices that you have, sir. You can you have to reconnect them.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay, but again, just to make sure, because I do not wanna screw this up. It's as simple as removing the existing password and typing a new password over it. That's all I have to do? Okay. Uh, well, I haven't done it yet. But once I put in, once I remove this one and put in a new password, it's gonna give me the option to save it. Okay. Okay. Well, I, what I should have done before talking with you, I should have created a new password so I could do it with you on the phone. So, um, can you give me just a minute? Let me think of a new password. Uh, and I'll go ahead and try one of these while I have you on the phone. Would that be okay? [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Yes sir. That's all and save it. Save it. There's a save option there? Uh huh. Yeah sir. It should app. Yep.
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Um, all right, um, me think of of a a good password. Um, Oh my, um, don't want to hold you if I need to do this and and call you back, I don't mind doing that cuz I can't think of anything right now unless you unless you don't mind holding for just a minute. Okay, all right. Okay, if you don't mind waiting, let me just think of something and I'll get back with you in just a minute. Okay, thanks. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
Sure. You can place me on hold for that if you want to. If it's uh all right, I'll be waiting. Yep. That's fine. Yeah, right. Yeah. That's right, I think. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
at, at, but the top it says save. So I'm gonna just double check it. I'm gonna double check it. Okay. Yeah, I like it. So just save it. Okay. Do 'em all at the same time. Okay, good. Thank you. I will do that. I'll do the other two. Okay, let me double check this one. Okay. And of course, I want them all to be the same, correct? Yes. [silence]
15:00
Speaker 2
Uh, before you save it, did you change for each frequency 2.4 five gigahertz, one, five gigahertz two? The same time, so yeah. Yes, sir.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, let me check the third one. Okay, they're all the same. I'm going to click save. Okay. Okay.
16:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. By the way, if your phone is connected to that network, we might be disconnected, sir, okay? So, all you need to do is to reconnect and then your phone uh will get the internet again. Or if it has a cellular data on your phone. then we will remain in the call.
16:00
Speaker 1
it took it okay I took it okay so it has completely taken all those new passwords so we have saved it now let me ask you this when I go to my computer is it going to is it going to call ask me to uh change the wi-f or is it okay Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, [ silence ] Okay, um.
17:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. Uh, it, it, it will still show you the same WiFi name, the one that you saw in the Linksys app. But once you click it again, it will ask for another password since we changed it. This goes through the rest of the device.
17:00
Speaker 1
All right, so what do you suggest I do next. click the name, click my Wi-Fi, okay. just a minute, I'm not it says not connected. and that's the Bluetooth, I don't want the Bluetooth. I want the Wi-Fi, okay, Wi-Fi is off, turn back on no, I don't want to turn it on. okay. [silence]
18:00
Speaker 2
Uh, you can just click the name, sir, and it will ask for a password. Now, why my name? [silence]
18:00
Speaker 1
available. There's no internet. Um. Okay, hang on a second please. all right wi-fi. Okay. Um, it says, it says connect automatically when in range. Um, then it says show the password, uh, but it's not the right password. It's the old password. Okay, I'm, I'm
19:00
Speaker 2
You're on the right spot you click show available networks do you see your Wi-Fi by name sir? hold on sir did you click

Speaker 2
Show available networks before you got that screen. There we go. All right, we're gonna start over. Uh, you're you're you're in the wrong spot, sir. Uh, close everything that you've opened. Mm-hmm. Everything. All of it, yes. And is this a Windows 10 or uh Windows 11? Okay, cool. Click on the Windows logo. It's on the lower left. And then go to settings.
20:00
Speaker 1

21:00

23:00
Speaker 2
It took it, right? After, uh, connect, uh, automatically? Uh, and do you have a, button now to click disconnect, right? No, no, no. Uh, the reason why I ask you to do that to disconnect and reconnect because we just changed the Wi-Fi password, and then, um, I want the computer to receive or capture the new password that you just created. Can you open a browser in that computer, sir, and check if you're online now, getting internet connection? All right. Well, uh, pretty much that's
23:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Tell me again what I need to do to like.
24:00
Speaker 2
Sit, so you can do the same thing to the rest of your device, car, okay, since you've got your new Wi-Fi password. Uh, this depends on uh whatever device that you have, uh ah Carl, okay. I'm I'm not sure what are they, the six devices that you mentioned. If this is a TV, television, camera. I'm sure they have uh an uh um a way for your to reconnect that. Now, uh if you need assistance for that, you might want to call the manufacturer of the device. Anyway, you got the Wi-Fi password, so that shouldn't be a problem. It will just pick it up right away. Just like what happen to the computer. Hello? Oh. [silence] Uh, surely. Carl, I think we have a, um, phone connection problem. Hello? Hello, Carl, can you hear me, sir? Carl, uh, can you hear me, sir? No, Carl, if you do hear me, I was able to hear you for a second, okay? I'm going to disconnect the call and uh process a call back, okay? Or if you can hear me, you can disconnect the call, sir. Well, anyway, um, I'm going to disconnect the call and uh call you in a bit, okay? Bye now.
