Speaker 1
North Dakota telephone company. It's not working. I beg your pardon. What is the light indicator on the parent mode? I don't know what you said. Just go see what the light says. On the white box or the other box? Linksys is only white. We only have Linksys in white, I believe. The light indicator on top. It's purple. It's purple.
05:00
Speaker 2
Many reason many, why you need to first up your links as devices. So what is the current light indicator of the parents node? What is the light indicator of the parents node? So, can you check the light indicator on top? Okay, so the model number of your G-Bean. [silence] [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
Yes. I believe so. That's what the guy told me. The extender? You want near the main? Can you go get the extender? That's what I get. No, I need it. Bring it up here? No. Is the extender upstairs? Cause that white box that that was originally downstairs is our router, right? Cause there's two white boxes, right? There's one upstairs that was here. There was an extender. That one down there is just another extender. Yeah, I don't know. I could go with that one. Yeah. So please go ahead and
06:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay, can you please move the child no closer to the parent node, about three to five feet apart. Yeah. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
no that's the router downstairs [silence] sure okay can you go plug it in and move it closer, to the router, the white router that looks like that two or three feet apart
07:00
Speaker 2
yeah, because if the main router marry is solid purple, which means the extender is also not connected to the network. So for the setup process, it's really recommended to move the extender closer to the main router. [silence] Yes. two, two or three feet apart and plug it directly to the wall outlet.
07:00
Speaker 1
Is there an outlet? Okay. Okay, we did that. Sure. Uh, right now it's blue. blinking slowly. Okay.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Let's just wait for the child node to fully boot up. Okay. So the main router is solid purple. How about the child note? [silence] But earlier, I [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
on on what hold on one second I'm looking yes so OK Okay. Okay, I did that. It's just blue. Oh, now it's blinking.
09:00
Speaker 2
And what is the light indicator okay? Sorry. You press and hold the reset button. Yeah, you make sure that the light blink red, and then goes off, then to solid blue, and then when you turn to solid blue, that is the time that you can release the reset button
10:00
Speaker 1
So you said when it turns red I can let go? No. Oh. Be sure it doesn't look red. Okay, it's blink. Oh, sure. there's no bing blue. And then turns to red. And then turns back to blue. I think you gotta let go. Should I let go? Yeah. Yeah, but it's turning back to blue so it doesn't go back on. And it gets so bing blue. And now it's blue. Okay, let's blow. New it's blinking blue. Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
No. Make sure that the light, blink red, goes off, then turn to solid blue. Yeah, when it turned to solid blue, that's the time that you're going to let go the reset button. Okay, so let's just wait for the extender to turn solid purple.
11:00
Speaker 1
it's cold down here. my feet are cold. it stopped working. right i didn't have any internet or anything no TV. [silence] No No.
12:00
Speaker 2
And while waiting for the child node to turn solid purple, Mary, may I know the reason why you need to set up your link test device? Okay, it just stopped working. But is there a power outage that possibly caused the issue? [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay, it's solid purple. Okay. Oh. Okay. Okay, I did that. Looks, uh, what is that? White? Or purple? It's blinking, it's a light, really light purplish color blinking. That's good, hay, look at that! Look at us! Yeah. Sure. Okay.
13:00
Speaker 2
OK, now go to the parent node, then press and release the reset button five times within five seconds, not too slow, not too fast. So press, release, [silence] press, [silence] release, [silence] press, [silence] release, [silence] press, [silence] release, [silence] press, [silence] release, [silence] press, [silence] release, [silence] OK, that's good. [silence] What means it's setting up. [silence] So let's just keep on observing it. [silence] But let's just wait three to five minutes to observe your linksys device. [silence] Let.
13:00
Speaker 1
Like... [silence] So yeah, this is the router and that's an extender. Right. they're both the same thing. Well, I don't know. That's what she's saying. Just accept it. Yeah. Oh, this one's blue on top. The first one turned blue and now the second one's blinking red. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
So, they're both blinking. Okay, that's good. Because for this processor, yeah, because with this method, which is the five breast method, it automatically connect the X.
14:00
Speaker 1
So where. Yeah. Okay, just hold on a second. Or you can do it cold Hello. Hello. Okay, so. Thank you.
15:00
Speaker 2
for the setup process. So that's why I asked you earlier to relocate the other one for the setup process. So the parents now they're into solid blue. Okay, can we try to connect your phone Mary to the default name and password labeled on the bottom of the parents node if it is working now?
15:00
Speaker 1
i still have this velup set up se- oh wait 771. okay so it's yeah seven it's develop set up 771. oh okay. so that one connects but it's not [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
Isis up there? the Wi-Fi name of the parent. Now this is actually what happened um Mary so when you're going to reset a router it will back to its default name and password so all the configuration was erased so we really need to start from the beginning. So can I check the Wi-Fi name on the bottom of the parent node? The main router. Okay. Select that one and enter your Wi-Fi password labeled on the bottom of the parent node also to verify if you're able to access the internet.
16:00
Speaker 1
I got it connected on my computer, but it doesn't actually register it as internet on there. You're already connected. solid blue, yeah. So, so it looks like I'm connected. Okay. Yeah, it looks like I can browse. The computer. Okay, just one second. [silence]
17:00
Speaker 2
but let's just try let's just try to check can we try to connect your phone what is your current light indicator of the router or the main router solid blue right okay solid blue okay check if you can browse and with your computer sir can we try also to forget the network and try to reconnect your computer to the velop underscore velop setup which is the wifi name of the parent node yeah [silence]
17:00
Speaker 1
I suppose I'll have to do this with all the TV's too. sure, yeah that would probably be the best thing for me. Oh God I don't I I don't know. I mean I I have a computer. I've got multiple TVs. I got phones, tablets. I don't know how many. Correct. Yes.
18:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, but of course, if you want to marry, we can retrieve or recover your original Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password as it was. I can guide you on how to do that. So I mean, I asked, how many devices do you have in total in your hand? It's okay. Okay. But you're using one Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password. Can you still remember?
18:00
Speaker 1
I didn't understand a word you were trying to tell me there. Can you repeat yourself? No, that none of that sounds familiar to me. Correct. Hey, Coulson. How do I see if I have if I have I have, How do I look up my for my Wi-Fi on this computer? Like to oh, it's that. Okay. And then, Wi-Fi. Okay, so yeah, it says
19:00
Speaker 2
Okay, if you split the bandwidth, do you have a network for your 2.4 and 5 gigahertz band? Okay, it's okay. Uh can you still remember if you split the bandwidth for your wireless network? 2.4 5 gigahertz band. Do you have any ID regarding with that? Okay, so you're using one WiFi name and one WiFi password. Okay. [silence]
19:00
Speaker 1
The Velup setup 771 connect automatically enter the password. Okay, let's see. Okay, so I am connected on my computer. What does the light say on the extender? Would you check please? It's way down in the basement. It's blue.
20:00
Speaker 2
Kelan can verify what is the light indicator of the child mode, or the extender. Okay. That's good. It's means you're all ready to set up So which country are you in?
20:00
Speaker 1
we're already set up. OK 192 168 OK. Okay, 192.168.1.1. Enter. Why am I getting a warning when I try to access my router settings in a browser it says [silence]
21:00
Speaker 2
Okay, is it a Windows or Mac computer? Okay. Can we open Google? Okay. And then on the address bar, type '192' (one nine two). What's that? '1' (one '168' (one six eight). '1'. One'. One'. Press enter. Yeah, proceed or continue. Wait.
21:00
Speaker 1
so continue. your connection isn't private. advanced and go back. okay. I don't really need a password for my internet. I live in the country and there's nobody close. So, I mean, if if if I don't need to have a password, I I wouldn't. [silence]
22:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Okay. Check on the bottom. What are the options? Advanced. Yeah. Yeah, but. Yeah, of course we can. You can actually, if you want to, or preferred to use the WiFi name and password label on the bottom of the parent node, or the main router, Mary, we can actually continue using it. But regarding with your other devices, you really need to connect them individually.
22:00
Speaker 1
Uh, well, I mean, is this a step where we change it back to what the name, okay, so go to advanced. Okay. Okay, the server couldn't prove that it's 192.168.1.1, its security certificate is not trusted by your computer's operating system. okay, okay. Now it took me to download the Linksys app for setup. Okay. Now I'm waiting okay, access router. Now I'm waiting okay, access router [silence] okay, access router.
23:00
Speaker 2
Is it okay for you? Yeah, because if... Mm-hmm. Yes. Exactly. Yes. Okay, so proceed. Or click on save 192.168.1.1. Okay. Click the picture or the image of the two phone. Okay, can we try to use admin as your...
23:00
Speaker 1
OK. We've updated our password requirements to be more secure. Please create a new one. recovery key. The recovery key. OK. So what do I do with that? Right. So what
24:00
Speaker 2
default admin password the word admin all lowercase, uh, okay. This is for the admin? Yeah, this is for the admin password. This is actually different from your Wi-Fi password. So, kindly check the um recovery key labeled on the bottom of the parent node to create your own admin password. Okay. So, to change your admin password or to create your own admin password Mary, it will ask for a recovery key, right? Okay. So, enter your recovery key. sorry, please. [silence]
24:00
Speaker 1
It's under the router, password or reset password? I'm not sure. Right, it still says that. Do I hit create a new one? Okay. Look at us. We're doing it. We're making this happen. Okay, so the admin password. Where do I put the recovery key? No, not yet. It's just saying admin password or or then it says password hint and then it says reset button.
25:00
Speaker 2
Yes. [silence] So it asked - uh, it states earlier that we update your admin password. Okay. [silence] Yes. [silence] Yeah, is it asking for the recovery key? Oh, yeah, it's [silence] Okay, proceed to create your.
25:00
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, okay. Exclamation point that's all you need to do what about the upper and lower case letters that's not there. Oh how come my last password was just super easy and nobody? You know, how come this one's so difficult. Okay.
26:00
Speaker 2
own admin password so you need also to follow standard rules on creating an admin password make sure it is 10 to 12 characters with an uppercase lowercase letter number and special character [silence] It is actually admin password. It's for security purposes. So every time you're going to access the router settings you need this admin or router password to log in or to sign in. [silence] Okay. That's good. Go to the Wi-Fi settings, Mary. [silence] To change your Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password. [silence] Yes. [silence] So, [silence] if you can revert it your Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password to the original settings. [silence] And then after that, [silence] click apply to apply the changes. [silence] You can also take for.
26:00
Speaker 1
Leak there we go. Okay. There you need to OK and then apply. OK. Yes. Okay. Okay. Now it's applying the changes. Okay. [silence] Yes. Oh, it says router not found. You are not connected to your router. Oh, sure. Okay.
28:00
Speaker 2
Sure. So it's applying the changes. Yeah because you created a new WiFi name and WiFi password which means you need to reconnect your devices. Start to reconnect your.
28:00
Speaker 1
You're, you're so patient, I love it. So, okay, so, well now it says Linksys2. Yeah. So it would be registered as Linksys2. Okay, so disconnect and reconnect because I have a new password or what? It's already connected. I think that you, I think the router's just on. Where do, where do I do that? I know. Okay.
29:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so thank you so much for that one Mary. Don't worry about that. [ silence ] [ silence ] [ silence ] yeah, make sure you disable the option to connect automatically so that it will ask you to enter your new Wi-Fi password. [ silence ] or try to forget the network.
29:00
Speaker 1
No, not you. You connect. It says can't connect to this network. It doesn't say links to too anymore. Okay. It's still connected to links too. So disconnect. On the phone it works, so I'd just let it be.
30:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Yeah. Yes, maybe it's still loading. Uh, forget the network and then make sure to enter your new Wi-Fi password. You can also try to check your phone. Mary.

31:00
Speaker 2
Okay. And then check the light indicator of the child node. They are both blue, right? Yeah. Okay, that's good. You may now proceed to relocate the child node, Mary. nation. All you need to do is to unplug, replug, and wait 30 to 5 minutes for that node to reconnect and turn to solid blue. No need to do anything, yeah, the child node or the extender. Oh. Okay. Yeah. Three. three up to five minutes. yeah. But of course, while waiting for the child node or the extender to reconnect, let me provide your ticket number just in case you call us again so the next technician can quickly access your information.
