I'm not sure what the hell's going on. No. Yep. I get a message that says if you're trying to administer Linksys now and reach this page, then maybe do one of the following reasons. Device is not connected to your network and it is. Doesn't have to be connected by cable, does it? It says your VPN is enabled. I went out, I do have VPNs with McAfee but I got them all shut off. Or at least on the device I'm at. And then it says to ensure that.

If you try to log in using the app, it will not really allow you to log in or it will not gonna work. Especially if you using your account to log in, it will not work. You should use local access only, local fast word, uh-huh. Okay. Uh-huh. Okay, please hold. No need. Uh-huh. All right. Uh-huh, okay.
01:00
Speaker 1
then you're using a custom DNS number, and I don't believe I am. Well, that's it seems to be it. I tried the password about 15 times. Yesterday it kicked me off for two hours. Now I'm back at it because I wanted to try and do the reset button. I reset it. It looked like the reset took. But when I try to log in, it doesn't let me log in. So, is the password it's looking for? Is it looking for the network password like if you add a device to the password or is it looking for the router password that I assigned it? Like admin. Right.
02:00
Speaker 2
Okay. And then once you log in, always choose router password. [ Silence ] Admin was the default password. [ Silence ]
02:00
Speaker 1
Is that the password is looking for the either the admin, so I just tried what I thought was the password I changed it to up a number of times and in fear I was going to have to do a reset again the one last time I tried admin and it got me to this page as though it works, but it still won't let me in. It gives me this message I'm telling you. Is there a reset button on this damn thing? Uh, hang on a second. Yep, hang on. Um,
03:00
Speaker 2
You can try. It should be all small letters. A.D. mini, if you did not change it before, then that's going to be still, it's the password. It's the default router password. Are you? I don't know what device you're calling for. May have the model number first, please. Model number.
03:00
Speaker 1
Serial number or model number. Oh, here's a model number too. W-R-T-3200AC, oh, crap, I got part of it covered up. ACM.
04:00
Speaker 2
W-R-T-1-9-0-0-A-C-M. Did I hear you right? Okay. One second. Okay. You know what your router.
04:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I see the reset button, but does it reset the password and stuff? Does it start me all over?
05:00
Speaker 2
your Router's for 90%, it's about to and I mean the support for that route that you're calling for, it's about to end this year, July, it's only up until July 27th. So beyond that one, there's no support anymore for this WRT 3200 ACM. And since you're trying to access uh the reset button for that one, there's actually a reset button at the back of it uh those ports is where there is internet and Ethernet. The reset button is located there. Go ahead. Everything will be back to default. Exactly. You need to start all over again. Password will be back to default, the one on the sticker underneath. If you reset and reconfigure this router.
05:00
Speaker 1
So I should be if that was the case, I should go be able to go back. But then I got all the internet down until I. reset faster with that. So I have to go through a setup all over again. Okay and this thing goes out of support next month. Yeah.
06:00
Speaker 2
[silence] correct. [silence] your internet will be not working and it will uh work again once it's already set up once it's back online. Mhm, yeah. next month yeah. and uh when it comes to warranty if you bought it within a year, or because this is illegible for one year warranty [ laughter ] we can support you by if on our Chat. But if it's already beyond no support um even though, uh I mean no technical assistance anymore. It's no longer elegible. If it's beyond a year. [ silence ] You're welcome. Thank you so much for calling. Bye for now and bye-bye. [silence]
