05:00
Speaker 2
uh Polari and uh, okay, okay, thank you. Uh, and the next question is, who's your internet service provider, ma'am? Okay. Uh, alright, right now ma'am, uh, again, you wanted to like change the password, uh, the wi-fi password to your routers because the at the bottom of the router, ma'am, that is the default password, like the wi-fi name and as well as the password. So, uh, even though um your device is like, for example, it's out from the box, the wi-fi is already secured because it is already there is a default settings. It's already default uh
05:00
Speaker 1
Uh, I don't know, a couple years, three years. I don't even know. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Well, then maybe let's not if I don't, if it's already got a password on that, maybe it's the password to get onto my internet. That might be, but I don't know. I don't know if I know how to do that to change that either.
06:00
Speaker 2
And there is it's secured. Okay. By the way, Mom, how long you had this router? Okay, years. Okay, and you have already a like wireless devices that is already connected to the network, right? Like phones, computers. And because if we are going to change your Wi-Fi password right now, Ma'am, all those devices that's currently connected will be disconnected.
06:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, everything's... Yeah. Yeah, so, I think it's my, my spectrum password. That's the one I probably need to change. Yeah. Right. Yeah, I'm, that's I, when I go in there, I click on my Wi-Fi, and it says connected and secure, but I don't know how to change the password in there.
07:00
Speaker 2
But all your wireless devices, they're all connected now, correct? And online. It can access the Internet. Mhm. Um, so your Spectrum router has also a Wi-Fi capability. Okay. Okay. Because if you're going to view it on your phone, Ma'am, or any wireless device, you can see it there, the name of your network, and it's um, probably secured. Okay. We're going to check it. Okay. Mhm. Okay. Because again, Ma'am, uh, ah.
07:00
Speaker 1
Right. Yeah, I kind of figured that. I love technology. [ silence ] Right. Yeah, I kind of figured that. I love technology.
08:00
Speaker 2
Just to set your expectation, we can, by using the Lynx router, we can actually, again, change the Wi-Fi password to a password that you like that was easier for you to remember. But, again, after changing the password, any devices that's currently connected to your Wi-Fi will be disconnected. So, you need to reconnect each device back to the network with a new password. Okay? Mm-okay. Okay. Okay. All right, ma'am. Before we start for any troubleshooting here to change your Wi-Fi password, let me just inform you about the status of your router. It shows here in our system that your router is already out of warranty, as well as an end of life already. Linux is no longer providing anything like that. So, let us just- How can you do the Wi-Fi password? ●●● It would- It would disconnect all of the Wi-Fi devices that connected to the Wi-Fi. Then you can add a new Wi-Fi password that is much easier to remember.
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so, question. I'm not gonna spend- I don't want to spend any money right now. I just need to change a password. So if it's not the password for the Linksys, I need to go to Spectrum and I need to change my- that one. I need to- I need to change that password to be able to get on the internet. So if that's the one I need to do, then that's what I'll do. Does it say how old my router is? Like, do I need to go get a new router?
09:00
Speaker 2
Like, complimentary technical support in this, okay? But you don't have to worry about it, ma'am. We do have options for out of warranty Linksys products, okay? The first option that we have is you can take advantage of our AI tool that can be found on our website and that is support.linksys.com. Our second option, uh-huh. Okay. Actually, ma'am, this router, uh-huh. Mm-hmm. For the router, the E, ma'am, I'd say it's, um, working. The only thing that's, um, not, um.
09:00
Speaker 1
Right. So then how old is it? What do you mean end of life? Just that the warranty's done? Okay. Well, that's fine. I mean, it still works, but that's fine. All right. Well, if I can't, if it's not anything to do with the router, then I will go and figure out how to change my password with Spectrum so that that's changed. So, all right, I'm gonna let you go. I got lots to do. Thank you.
10:00
Speaker 2
Um working there it's the a the router is at warranty that means it's the complementary technical support is no longer available. But a real router it's still. Okay. Um this router ma'am has been um like already a couple of years. Actually the end of this router has been end of life already since 2023. Um yes ma'am. Okay ma'am. Okay. So um okay. Okay. [silence]
