Speaker 1
right. I have been having some issues with my router. These uh, really the last couple of weeks. Um, I get a few different things. So, my IPv4 is not available, um, intermittently. It will intermittently drop connection completely. Um, right now my 5G isn't even up and then I get an error in Chrome, like the ERR address unreachable. So, there's just like a lot of things going on. And they're all like resolved once I do a hard reset, but I'm having to hard reset everything like once or twice a week.

It's been going on and off for about a month. So, I haven't done like a full setup again. I've done, you know, the power removal of the modem and the router, waited 10 minutes, plugged in the modem, waited for connectivity, replugged in the router. Um and then I've also done like the reset network on the Linksys, um, app too.
02:00
Speaker 2
when did this issue started to happen chair and um when you tried to like reset it and set it up again like what process or what method did you use to set it up?
02:00
Speaker 1
No, I've used the like the reset network option in the Linksys app. Yeah, I got the E R R underscore address underscore unreachable is the one that I get usually when there's a problem. Okay.
03:00
Speaker 2
like did you like push the reset button at the back of this router? um okay I see. um did you encounter like error numbers when trying to access some websites? I see. so um since you've tried um those um those steps, um I suggest we do like a full factory reset on this router, like bringing in it back to factory default settings and then we will set it up again from scratch. so, um we need to like press the reset button. [silence] [silence] [Silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay. It was blinking red. Now it's solid blue. Okay.
04:00
Speaker 2
at the back, the red one. You press and hold it for 15 seconds. Okay. So let's just wait for it to boot up. Then let me know if the light will turn, uh, solid purple or hot pink.
04:00
Speaker 1
okay. It's like pink now. Solid. Okay, the red one again, five times. Okay. Blinking white.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay, and then you press the reset button again but this time you press it five times. One press every second.
06:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Now it's flashing. Still white, but it blinks blue every once in a while. Oh, and now it's a solid blue. Yep, just said.
07:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. Okay. All right, um, and then on your computer or on your phone,
07:00
Speaker 1
uh-huh um Okay. is it that password that's on the bottom of that modem for the router? okay. Okay.
08:00
Speaker 2
let's just use your computer instead. So that we can access the web interface after. So you go to your Wi-Fi setting and connect to the network name link sys. Yes sir. [silence] Then, once connected, try to check first if you have internet connection.
08:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, looks like I do. Yep. Mac. Yep. Yep. OK. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
OK, let's run a ping test first. Um are you using a Windows computer or a Mac computer? [silence] All right, can we open terminal? Um just search it on your Mac computer, like you click the magnifying glass logo and then search terminal. [silence] And then you type in this command, uh ping, google.com. let's let it run for five minutes then we will check if it it will give you some error for dropping of internet connection so i'll just set my timer So far, does it have like, errors?, like request timeout errors. Okay, good. And then, after this one, we are going to access the web interface of uh the router to change your wi-fi name and wi-fi password back to what it used to be. And make sure also that your connection is good and you don't have signal drop. And also vis vices.
10:00
Speaker 1
No, it's been intermittently like it's been literally just Google. It's been there's been no rhyme or reason as to why it's not at all the same thing. And then it's like different devices won't connect but then some will. So it's just there's been no consistency in the only way to fix it has been to just unplug everything and plug it back in. [silence] Nope. Yep. Still pinging. Okay. Okay.
13:00
Speaker 2
You can also try to access the pages that are giving you the error message before to check if they still have that error. Still no error? Still running smoothly? Okay. That's good. Um, you can stop now. Just press Control P to stop it. Then you can close the window.
13:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, you can also ping that one to check. And then if there's no problem, you can access the website. I'm using the IP address or if 192 will not work, try to use my router.com. Are you still pinging 192.168.1.1? Okay. Okay. Um, when you stop,
14:00
Speaker 1
Yep. Okay, so eight transmitted, eight received, 0% loss. Yep. Nope. [silence] Trying, but then it says to download the app. Is there some way to go around that? Yep. Oh, wait, it just went. Okay. Yep, perfect.
15:00
Speaker 2
pinging, like, if it's still running fine you can stop pinging, and then kindly give me the final result, result for packets sent, lost and received. okay, good, okay, that's good, there is no dropping, so you can now access the web interface using the IP address, um can you see a picture of two smartphones? yeah, finally, click that picture, yeah, okay.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay. And then the router password. Okay. Okay. Yes. Yep. Yep. Yep. Okay. Yes. Okay. Yep.

You can use admin since we reset it. You're on the smart Wi-Fi tools. All right, Carly, I'll scroll down at the very bottom of that page. And can you see end user license agreement, privacy statement or, okay. Can I click CA the last option? And then after that, it will bring you to the same page. And then on the left side, you go to WiFi settings. That's under router settings. Then there you can change your WiFi name and WiFi password back to what it used to be.
16:00
Speaker 1
