And while my system is checking the warranty and support, we're looking at System Linksys router, sorry. Going back to the router right now. Have you tried turning off and on the Linksys router?
03:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I tried that. I turned it off, turned everything off, turned it back on, and I'm going, well where are my, my uh, my uh, uh, networks, there? You know? Are you sure? Which button? Yeah. Yes, I tried that. Um,
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, and have you happened to press the reset button at the back of the router, the red reset, have you happened to press it at the back of the router, the red reset button? Did you happen to press it before it lost connection with the network? Okay, so possible that it's on a setup mode. Um, how about this, do you have a smartphone there? We're going to check if this router broadcast its default wifi name on your smartphone, open wifi, and look for a wi-fi name that says
04:00
Speaker 1
Wait, I got I got one quick question before we go before we do that. Oh, the back of the router, there's another button. Tes next to the reset button. What does that one for? So I well, I tried pushing that too, but that have done anything. [silence] Oh, okay.
05:00
Speaker 2
Lynx Sys 0004 0006, that's the WPS, that button used to connect another device to your Wi-Fi network. That's the if the certain device, supports as well the WPS button, so both devices should have WPS. If you, if you use to connect the device using WPS, it should not affect the network itself, because it's just a method in connecting another device. But if you press, but if you press the reset, the red one, it will delete all the settings you've configured on the router, such as the customized Wi-Fi name password,
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so what do I have to do? Sure, okay, where do I go? At Android? Okay.
06:00
Speaker 2
Wi-Fi name, your password, so it will be gone. It will go back to default. The default will be a Wi-Fi name Linksys and its last serial number. So it will show up like this. Okay, on your smartphone, let me just check and verify. Can you open Wi-Fi on your smartphone and look for a Wi-Fi name that says Linksys? Are you using an Android or an iPhone? Right, on your Android, open Settings, all right and do you have uh wi-fi option under settings or network options? yes select connection. uh okay and then let's look for wi-fi. all right under available networks or scan for available networks are you seeing a i name from the list? how about exact wi-fi name?
06:00
Speaker 1
What's up? Oh, yeah. um, enter password. Okay, hang on, let me. Oh, that thing. Let's see. Oh, boy. uh, There it is. Okay. Hang on while I put.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay, that's it. Your router's actually goes back to default since it was, or it has been resetted. So, that will be the Wi-Fi name coming now from your lyncls router. You may try connecting to it. Then select first the lyncls 04600. And let me know if it's asking for a password. Okay, the password is, is using now the password found at the bottom of the router.
08:00
Speaker 1
It says "incorrect password." Okay. let me let me check it again.
10:00
Speaker 2
Make sure to enter the correct characters because it's case sensitive.
10:00
Speaker 1
Can you keep saying incorrect password? [silence] Yeah. Okay, how do I get back to that? Oh yeah, there. Okay, there it says, uh,
12:00
Speaker 2
I see and all the letters or characters on the Wi-Fi password at the bottom, right? and you've entered it correctly, like, if it's small, big, if it's numbers. still not. Can we try the other one? The Linksys uh one 4605 gigahertz we'll try connecting to the other signal or Wi-Fi signal on your Linksys router. And uh, is there an arrow back on that page you're at right now on your phone? okay, top the arrow back.
12:00
Speaker 1
Lexas 04 600. Oh, yeah, it's a incorrect password. That's the one I just had. Oh, okay, yeah, I, I, I put it in.
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay, then look for linksys 04 600- Dash 5 gigahertz. Try connecting to that for the meanwhile. Are you seeing the? Uh- huh. Okay, try tapping the arrow back again. We're going to select the linksys 04 600. 5 gigahertz. Oh, I see you're connecting to the 5 gigahertz. It says incorrect password. Um, how about this, try the password you had before with your network. Use that instead.
13:00
Speaker 1
different password in yeah okay let's see uh Wi-Fi how do we get to that now let's see so I hit the length and 5 GHz one hope that works let's see how do we save it instead of guest pass hold on I think it is okay now it's connected and I think it's good to go
14:00
Speaker 2
Okay, and uh-huh. [silence] settings. Yes, the 5 gigahertz and try your own Wi-Fi password instead, since the default password did not work. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 1
No, still says Incorrect password. Okay. Let's see. That's the one I need the paper clip for huh? Lost my paper clip. Oh, 30 seconds.
15:00
Speaker 2
I, I see. So what is happening actually right now bill is the router is on like a premature default settings. So since it's already gone back to the default Wi-Fi name, we're going to properly reset the router so that its Wi-Fi at the bottom will work. So we're going to press and hold again its reset button at the back for 20 seconds. Yes. Yes. I will let you know when it's done, depending on your feedback on, on what you want to say. Yes. Okay, okay. Yes, I hear it. I hear it. [silence] So we're going to just let it reset. Sure, just give it like a 10 seconds, 10 more seconds. Alright. Okay. It's done working now.
15:00
Speaker 1
Right. Now I just started pressing the, I just. I need to find my paper.
16:00
Speaker 2
Okay, release it, I'll have my timer here, just let me know if you're pressing and holding it already. [silence] Okay, I think 20 seconds is done, you can release the reset now. Okay, you just started pressing it. Alright. Okay [silence] Alright, so timer is running, so I'll let you know when to release it.
16:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Uh, Oh. Derek, it just started blinking. Okay, now it stopped blinking.
17:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Now release the reset button. All right and let's check the light. Do you have a light indicator on the top of the router? Is it blinking? Me? There's none, how about at the back? Okay, it just started blinking. So we'll wait for it to turn to a solid white light. So we'll give it a minute or two. Welcome back. All right so we'll go back to your phone and then go back to Wi-Fi. We'll connect again. So let's start while we're waiting. Okay, so there's the Wi-Fi settings. And then you search for the new Wi-Fi network that's located under the router. And you can put... fill in the login information for the router. You have that somewhere, right? Okay. So let's just do that.
17:00
Speaker 1
let's see I'm on uh go back oh there connections Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is on available networks yeah it doesn't show my networks there just as the links is incorrect password uh or if I

Is is there an arrow back or can we see it? again the linksys Wi-Fi name. That will be the Wi-Fi name coming from the router. So connect and select it. Mm-hmm
18:00

Okay, which uh, uh, I got, uh, uh, links 04 600, and then there's another one with a 5G. Okay. Okay. That's just incorrect password. Let me just look at that once more, make sure I got it right. Oh, take a picture and send it to you.
19:00
Speaker 2
All right. You may also try. Ah, yes, you can actually take a picture of the Wi-Fi password at the bottom and zoom it, that you can check what's the exact character. Yes, you can take. take a picture of the Wi-Fi password. So you can zoom in It If It's very small, so that you could see it clearly using the photo.

And for your printer, Bill, you're going to use now the Linksys Wi-Fi name in order to connect back to the network. Okay. In order to change, if you want to customize your wifi name and wifi password for your Linksys router, you can access the router settings. Do you have a computer that can connect using a Wi-Fi or a computer where we can use a web browser? We will. Uh-huh. Okay.

And how about the password, make sure that's your own Wi-Fi password. All right, that's great. So we're able to re-configure your router with your network name. Bill, so you can now connect back your printer to your network Wi-Fi. You can just click okay and if you want to have access to the router's.
46:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so if I want to, how do I save this page, just hit the save button oh just bookmark it, okay, okay. Oh now the printer just came to life and is printing something.

That's great. So your devices that remembers your old network name should be able to connect back. [silence]
47:00
Speaker 1
OK. Oh, that's interesting. You think doing the reset button on the printer screwed all this up? On the back of the router. Don't press it. Now come. Oh, so when I press the reset button, that erased all the settings on your printer.
48:00
Speaker 2
I think you're back up and running.
48:00
Speaker 1
Oh, my stuff. Oh, that's what happened. Oh. Because then on the on the printer, you know, the the button was flashing and it said, you don't have a connection. And uh then I kept trying to follow the orders on there and nothing was working. But then I went to the computer and I thought, well, my Wi-Fi's all gone. Oh, now, here I just went to my Wi-Fi. And I had 5 2.5 and then I had guest 5 2.5. And uh Now the only one I see is is five guest. Open it. [silence] Yeah. Let's see. So, let's see. If I wanna get back to the, to the phone thing, uh, okay. So I just hit Wi-Fi on the phone and then I go, I can find all that. Okay. All right, well it seems like everything's working.
