Okay, I will, I just closed it. Okay. Okay, so it says getting router settings. And then this is what it takes me to. This is where I get stuck. It says, you haven't, you haven't added a router or mesh Wi-Fi system to your account. Let's fix that. What do you wanna do? Add an existing router or set up a new one. And so when I try to add existing, um, that's where I get stuck.

Speaker 2
Can you sign out from your account? Yeah, just go to your account and then log out, okay? Now close the app and then reopen it. Router password, it's asking for the router password right now, right? By default, the router password is admin, A-d-m-i-n, but if you happen to change that, uh you need to use that password that you changed.

Speaker 1
it had my old password. I I deleted it and I'm putting the new one. okay. So now it says, restarting your Wi-Fi.
45:00
Speaker 2
So after you change the Wi-Fi password, you, please take note of your new Wi-Fi password, okay? Cause, yeah, you need to, you need that Wi-Fi password for if if ever you need to reconnect.

49:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's pulling it up on my phone, but I just don't know if that's because I have um service on my phone, but I am connected. Okay. Yeah, I turned off my data and it's it's still working. So yeah, the Wi-Fi is working.

Okay. Okay. So now it says getting router settings. Okay. Now I'm back in. Um, so now everything that was connected should be not connected anymore, right? Um, So now, can that be fixed right away? I have two 70s and this has to go to work with a video call. Wi-Fi is always such a pain in the ass. Yeah. So if it K, and this router. I have to be changing a couple of times and every time I am doing that, it doesn't work properly or at least not immediately. Okay.
51:00
Speaker 2
Would you like to check your other wireless devices? You may check the app, by the way. Try to reload the app if you're able to. You may close that. Close the app and try to reopen it. You're already connected to the network, right? Yeah, okay. Just close the app and reopen. Yes, that is connecting. That is correct.
51:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So it went from 18 devices down to four. I wonder what four. Should only be me. No. Uh-uh. [silence] Okay. Okay. Um, yeah, that's weird. There's four. The downstairs TV, um,
52:00
Speaker 2
So you need to reconnect using the new password. Do you have any wired devices? [silence] [silence] Plugged in, um, hardwired to the router. You may check the devices, ma'am. [silence] [silence] Try to check. You can go to devices and check the devices currently connected. [silence] That's how you verify if they are yours or not.
52:00
Speaker 1
Okay. That was fine. That one says Ethernet, so that one must be wired, but I didn't think we had that one wired. There's an iPad downstairs. it says downstairs. So, how can I get them off? Refresh. Right. Right. Yeah, the TV's... Right. The that's fine but it's okay. So, there's the downstairs TV, that one has Ethernet, so that one's connected with a cable. But then there is, there's a iPad iPhone and a iPhone. And there should only be one point. Yeah, it shows that it's
53:00
Speaker 2
You may try to refresh the devices. If it's hardwired, ma'am, you cannot, yeah, if it's connected with a cable, you can you cannot take it off if it will automatically connect to the internet. If it's connected with an internet cable. [silence] So it says online? Yes. It could be that the app is not refreshed yet. That, it could be just like what we call it, a draft or something. So. Yeah. mm-hmm, can you select each, I mean can you
53:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'll do that. Yeah. Okay. I turned my wi-fi off. Let's see.
55:00
Speaker 2
you tap on that device and uh do you have the option to remove it from the list or something? I'm not too. yeah. not sure if it does that uh option. Refreshing the list should automatically uh delete those.
55:00
Speaker 1
is there a way that I can kick everything off except for whatever is wired or do I have to do that individually? okay. And so so to do it individually. um Yeah. Okay, so now it says that I'm off. It says check connection, log into your cloud account or create a cloud. So do I need to put my Wi-Fi back on? [silence]
56:00
Speaker 2
Oh, you need to do it individual email. There's no option that we can like, can you tap on the device and is there an option for you to like remove it from the list or? Yes. [silence]
