and it's uh, that I noted like a few years ago that on the router, but it's not working. So I can't get in to change the settings and I want to change it to 5G. I have the serial, I'm looking at the router. So I have the serial number and the Mac number and the ownership ID and device ID. Okay, the serial number is Charlie Delta Foxtrot. 7-0-0-Delta Charlie Uniform 8 2 3 2 and the model number just a minute.
01:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Can you provide the serial number, sir and also the model number? Got it. On number two. [silence]

Speaker 1
Okay. I'm co extrateral it's brand new. But I'm just trying to get into settings. That's what I want to do.
02:00
Speaker 2
all right. So, based on the information that I gather here, sir, with this Lexis router that you have and with this model number, upon checking, this device was already part of end of life and end of support device. It means that we don't provide technical support for this device anymore. And also, we don't manufacture this device anymore and no updates further. So, since you're already input the username and password but it still it doesn't work. What I can highly suggest you sir is for you to reset this router and then try it again for you to access the settings. One moment here, sir. [silence] Thank you. All right, so with regards to this here, it's easily for you to just set it up. You just need to press and hold the reset button for 20 seconds, and then connect your device to the default.
03:00
Speaker 1
Um, uh, I have the serial number. I have the Mac. I have the ownership ID. I have the device ID. I have the model number. And then I have linksys wireless G broadband router. What am I looking for? and that's on the bottom of it. Uh there's an FCC sticker. Is it on that? Like what does it look like the Wi-Fi name? h mm.

06:00

I I pressed the button and hold for 20. Do I do I unplug it first or do I just press the button and hold it? All right and then I put in the new SSID. Uh So then with an iPad for it can I use a phone? All right so if I have a computer then um um I press the button and then is it going to show me this router as a the default? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You don't need to. You just need to press and hold the button, sir. Much better if you have an iPad or a computer, sir. Okay. All right. Uh, yes. Okay. Yes. You just need to go to the Wi-Fi list on your computer or to the Wi-Fi settings on your computer and then go to the Wi-Fi list and find the Alexis name, um, under the Wi-Fi list. Okay. And just select the network. Just select that network.

08:00
Speaker 1
I I I i i i i [silence] Okay. All right. [silence] Um, so really, I need to buy a new one, I guess.
12:00
Speaker 2
Hello sir. Yeah, thank you so much for patiently waiting on the line. So sir, based on the record here. This router that you have sir, your router doesn't have a 5 GHz band. It's only 2.4 GHz sir. Since it's an outdated router, it's part of the legacy router of linksys. Yes sir. You need to purchase a new router to be able to access 5 GHz. But if you want, you still need to use a 2.4 GHz one to be able to transmit the internet fast, because any device that works on 2.4 GHz, we still want it to be connected. So you still need to put a password on it. Yeah, there are a lot of devices sir. That's also one of the differences of 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz is that 2.4 GHz can be used to a lot of devices, but not all modern devices exist on 5 GHz band that's why we want to stand alone your 5 and 2.4 GHz. Yes sir. But we can't guarantee that. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
okay thank you very much.
