It won't let me in. All the app does is just spin and then it goes back to the same one, same information. Cuz it goes back to getting router settings. And then once it does that, it shows that I'm cuz I'm at my rental property. I'm not at my main home. And it shows internet online. Uh I guess so. Cuz I'm like I said

So you want to access your Linksys router remotely? um Unfortunately, sir you can't access the um your router remotely using the router password or using the router login. Remote access can only continue in the same network. Mhm

I'm gonna just uninstall the app and try to, what you're saying is I need to log into it using a computer? Okay, but on the app, I can see both my routers. I can see the router that I have at my home and I can see the router that I have here. Uh. Let's see, I'm gonna just, unmove it and then, see if I can add it again. So, how do I add another router? How do I add my townhouse to the app? That's what I'm trying to figure out.

04:00
Speaker 1
I'm at a place where I'm connected to the Wi-Fi, and I'm not at my home, but I do have nodes at my rental property, the same setup I have at my home I have it here. So how do I how do I add another, another system, location to to my computer. To my app. Correct.
05:00
Speaker 2
on the place where you're checking your router, like, are you connected to your Wi-Fi? So you want to access, uh huh. Okay. So your app. Okay, you need to, you need to, um, be connected on your Wi-Fi, sir, they're.
05:00
Speaker 1
I'm there. I'm already connected to it. So, what do I click on? Go ahead. Okay. On the the router, I got that. So, how do I use the app? Where do I go at on the app to do this? That's what I need for you to help me with. Yes. Okay. So, how do I find the logout? I'm under um, um... Yes.
06:00
Speaker 2
OK, you need to log out from your own account. Are you on the dashboard? OK. So you just have to click on the three lines on the upper left corner. [silence]

07:00
Speaker 2
So what are you, I mean what's showing on your screen right now? [silence] OK, um, I need to verify first, sir. You, you want to uh, um, access your routers remotely.
07:00
Speaker 1
I want to set up my router, my, new router at my new location. That's what I'm trying to do is set it up. I'm sitting in here. Right. Yes. I got that. Let me see. I can't. I can't see it.
08:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. So, and you're, you're on the new location at the moment. Okay. All right. So, um, you are now connected to your router or to your Wi-Fi, right? there. You just have to look for the default Wi-Fi password. The router, on the router, underneath the router. Uh-huh. And if it doesn't go through, sir, is there an option for you to reset the password? Since it, you go to the router login and then,
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Hold on. It has a password on the Linksys router, but it doesn't have a code. There's no code up here to enter at all. Yeah, it's not one listed. It's not one listed on this modem router that I'm looking at.
09:00
Speaker 2
Oh, uh, go to your log, go to the router log-ins and then reset the password. And then enter the recovery key that is located underneath the Linksys router that you have there. Mm. recovery key. That's the code. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
That's a Linksys, I mean that uh yeah Linksys. I mean this is a xfinity router. Excuse me. It's not an, it's not a um ex, it's not a, it's not a, think it's a router. It's a xfinity router. Yeah, but I have Linksys nodes. I don't have a Linksys router. I have a I have a Xfinity Comcast router. I'm connected to the Linksys nodes. I I have this [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Oh, I see, then you can't use the links as apps sir if you're want to access your the Xfinity modem router. Then you need to use your links node. Just to verify sir, what's the model of the links router that you have there? Is it the same? Oh, you can't access it sir, if you you're not connected to the links router. [ silence ]
10:00
Speaker 1
I think where you're confused is I have the exact same setup in my house. I have a Xfinity modem slash router, and I have three nodes. I have the exact same setup. I know I can access it, you're, you're missing something. So I have a, uh, Com, Comcast Xfinity router. My link is nodes. Okay. All right, I have the parent node, and you look, you're talking about a recovery key of on the bottom of it? miles.
11:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's not. That's not working.
12:00
