So I shut it off again, and I and I turned it on here, maybe about five minutes or so before you came back on. And it's been blue, blue now. I don't know why it was going red. What what does red mean? [silence] Okay, we're

66:00
Speaker 1
OK, because we're direct wire into, we're a line of site, uh, Wi-Fi and we're wired into the antenna. So, OK. That, well that helps me out, explains a little bit about that, because I've been working some with, uh, with the ISP, um, on this, but this, we're, the previous Lexus, links this Wi-Fi was 12 years old. So, that, yeah. So. You know, I don't, well, I don't think so. I'll just have to kind of plug my way.

OK. Yeah. Well, it's been so long so I appreciate the updates on this and your help on that. [silence]
69:00
Speaker 2
I want to access your router settings. It can be you can still access the router but through the use of a browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. That's how you access it using your computer. Yes. Through your browser. No worries. Okay. You know what? When you when you're in a network where you have router settings and you can still access the router but through the use of a browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. That's how you access it using your computer. Yes. Through your browser. No worries. Okay. Yeah, in case you yeah, in case your laptop gets disconnected from the network in the future. So, you can probably just do a forget network and reconnect to it. No worries, ma'am. You're very welcome. So,
69:00
