Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Uh, what, um, Like I said, I'm trying to access it with the Linksys app, and it's, um, it's, I'm telling it to search for my router, and it says, oops, something and it went wrong, call representative. So,
09:00
Speaker 2
All right. Thank you so much. So the reason as to why you need to perform a factory reset as advised by your new internet provider is so that it can be configured properly along with the new modem. As you mentioned, the wifi seems to be working currently, but since it's a new modem, the router does not recognize everything on their end yet. That also affects in how it interacts with the smart wifi app. All right. Is there anything else? Mhm. Yes, because currently the router hasn't been factory reseted yet. So you will need to up or to consider doing a complete factory reset. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I thought I just did that though. I press the, press and hold the red reset button on the back. then nothing happened. All right, fair enough. Sounds good. um, okay. I think that's, uh, how long do I have to press and hold it for? Oh, okay, that was my problem. I did, I may have, I may have done like 18 seconds. All right.

Speaker 2
Even if the Wi-Fi currently works in your devices, if the router performed a factory reset, the light will turn to solid purple, which means that it's in a ready to setup mode. If the router, after pressing and holding the reset button, did not turn into a solid purple afterwards, it did not complete its cycle. Oh. Mhm. mhm. Until uh just for 20 seconds. I see. All right? Is there anything else?
10:00
Speaker 1
Uh no, I think that's it appreciate it you too bye [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
All right. If there's nothing else, once again, thank you for calling Linksys. Take care and have a great day. Bye bye for now.
