04:00
Speaker 1
model and it finally went completely or so I thought and my internet had been out for a couple of days okay so I just restarted it and it picked up and it went for a little bit and it quit again so I put a brand new linkus in today and that's all the serial numbers and everything I gave you this is the new one okay well here's what's happened when it came in it it told me to go to the link hold on I'm not very good at explaining this because I don't understand it very well but hold on um it made me go to link setup EDE all right which I did and I put in a password and I said solved it. And lo and behold, that gave me internet, okay? And I've contacted Meru Access and they say their internet's running. But the problem is, is once I set up this thing that this lynces EEE, that's required by this model, it's taken me off of my actual internet connection that I've had for years, which means that my my smart TV doesn't recognize this lynx setup EEE, which means that I'm if anything, I'm gonna lose it because I have no clue how to do that. Is there any way of making the lynx setup EEE, what I've, had as far as my, name, as far as my, my network. See my old one was new 2022, dev. That was my, my old, um, network name. And now this thing has changed it over to links is set up E-E, and it doesn't, it doesn't recognize that on my smart TV, which means I've lost all of my smart TV. And when you're old, believe me, the TV is pretty much your best friend besides your dog. Who happens to be a service dog. Are you getting beginning to get the gist, just that you're talking to somebody that is, um, was not raised on high tech stuff. So,
05:00
Speaker 2
Do you think you have too much homework?
07:00
Speaker 1
coming up with ZD from here powers up k it doesn't work with anything around here it doesn't you let me say let me say if it if it'll connect with any of my Bluetooth this LED is running yes this my smart TV because it's set up
08:00
Speaker 2
but yeah since your router is new that's why it's on its default name but yeah we can change that one like what you want it to be um using the lynx is app and by the way uh what is the light of the router is it solid blue already mn hm okay uh okay I see Did you already set it up Like is it online with that name mn hm okay okay
08:00
Speaker 1
with the old network name. Yeah, I'd like it to go back to the old name so that all of my, my stuff recognizes it. Now, my smart watch, it says it's connected. So it's, it's, it's picking it up, but it's just not working for my smart TV and I'm not sure why. It's not giving me internet for the smart TV. Can I download what please? That's, that's what I've got on up right now. Um, hang on.
09:00
Speaker 2
Okay, I see. So you just wanted to change it? Okay. Okay, um, can you download Linksys app on your phone? Linksys app. Okay.
09:00
Speaker 1
I'm saying the regular linksys app. Okay. I'm going to hit open again. And I'll tell you where what page it's at. Right now, the page that it's got me on is terms and conditions and user license, terms, privacy and I agreed to all that because I've been with you for eons. Then it goes connect the router. It tells me how to do it. And then it says it's already connected. So, okay, going. Okay. So far so good. Okay. And that's as far as it'll go. It says plug in your router near your modem or source. What do you say? Okay. I did that. It's connected. Okay. The next one says plug additional nodes into power near the router. Which I did. What it's exactly exactly like it was before. It says make sure
10:00
Speaker 2
Mm hmm. Yes, agreed. Mm hmm. Yep. Mm hmm. Okay, keep that part.
10:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] everything is finished starting up and no light is solid now okay? and then it says this could take up to a minute okay? I've done that. I said use okay? the next one is use the same wi-fi settings as links of set up BDE and it says devices will automatically connect if they see the same wi-fi name and password. [silence] I'm at a little bit of understanding. you dare say that again please? [silence] now. what it says? well it says. okay? here's the question again. use the same wi-fi settings as link.
11:00
Speaker 2
Just input it manually. Just choose that option to input it manually.
11:00
Speaker 1
set up eDE, devices will automatically connect if they see the same Wi-Fi name and password. Then I've got a choice of yes or no, create new Wi-Fi settings. And I'm scared to touch it because I don't understand it. Check that one. Okay. All right. Name your Wi-Fi. So can I go back to what I was doing before? Okay. You see this didn't pop up before you came on the line. So, thank you. It decided somebody smarter than it was on the line. Hold on just a second. Okay. It's capital.
12:00
Speaker 2
Just create new Wi-Fi settings, just choose that option. Choose Wi-Fi, I mean, create new Wi-Fi settings. Choose that option. Okay. Yes. You're welcome. Yeah, sure.
12:00
Speaker 1
care if you know this or not capital N little E W new. Um, 2022. That was my last time. Whoa, hang on a second. Okay. And I am going to put in the password that I'm used to. Which is another long one if somebody figured this out, they're pretty sharp cookies. Let me see. Okay, I've got everything the way it was before. Next save, yes. And then it says that security.
13:00
Speaker 2
mhm. Thank you for that. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. awesome. Mhm. amazing. you just scared to choose that option I guess.
14:00

15:00
Speaker 2
You are welcome, man. Okay. So. [KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Yeah, you go to your Wi-Fi settings on your phone and then check if the network name that you have changed is now available. Then connect to it. it's still not available. Mm-hmm. Um, what [silence]
15:00
Speaker 1
Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Hold on a second. It says, let's connect to your new Wi-Fi. And it gives me the old thing. PD again. Just stay to one. connected. return to this app and tap next. below. okay. hold on a second. let me see what it tells me. looking for your child phones. I don't know. it says it's going to check for anyhow. sorry. something about we were going to do something. but I darned if I'd heard.
17:00
Speaker 2
Can you see on the screen right now? [silence] Um, yeah, just wait for it. And then, just click next. Okay. So if it did not change, um just proceed. We will just access the dashboard, and then we will change it from there.
17:00
Speaker 1
okay. hang on. I'm okay. well, the phone is locked up, I can't go anywhere and you're telling me to do something and I can't go with you. so just a minute, please. okay. this could take from four to six minutes per child mode. I don't have any child. I don't even know why you're doing this. do what? hang on. oh, got you. I got you. well,
18:00
Speaker 2
yeah just proceed just proceed on that step okay uh that's alright just let it process just let the app process on finding it even though you don't have any child nodes just let it be just wait for the next option to come up
18:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] I wish I wasn't such a problem patient for you. I'm trying not to be, but I'm just having trouble understanding you today. That's all. And it's it's me. I mean, So, well, that's about two-thirds of the way done.
19:00

[DOWNWEIGHT] It's still stuck on this child mode thing, ma'am. No, ma'am, it doesn't have a next or anything. I'm just sitting here looking at this thing scroll across. Okay, finally wa- Okay, finally, the next page says, 'there was a problem adding child modes.' Restart them and try again. Uh, I don't want to. And then down below, it says 'next'.
21:00
Speaker 2
It doesn't have any option to proceed or go next. Finally, first, close the app and then we open it again. Umm, just click next.
21:00
Speaker 1
So, I'll go ahead and hit next, get out of this. I hope. Okay. Help us help you, automatically send error reports to Linksys, send diagnostic data to Linksys. Next, go ahead and move your child nodes. Really? I'm just going to hit finish. Okay. And then it says Linksys setup is ready, connect your devices to your new Wi-Fi, go to dashboard. I remember you saying something about dashboard. Okay. It says securely locking you in.
22:00

Speaker 1
Getting router settings. Get notified of connectivity issues and network updates from Linksys and allow. I'm assuming. And then it says, Linksys setup EDE is online. It says the Linksys app are notifications from Linksys app are turned off on your phone. Go to your phone app settings to turn them back on. Go to settings, turn them on. Okay. Then notification types, I've got lock screw badge pop-up, all allowed. So which one just lock screen badge, I don't know. Badge, okay. All right. And it just says allow sound and vibration.
