Yeah, so I have one of your routers, I'm a property manager, and it's plugged into an, a computer plugged into an ethernet cable to the Linksys device. I'm trying to connect another device to the Wi-Fi, but the code on the back of it, the password doesn't work. Uh, it says Wi-Fi name and then Wi-Fi password.

Welcome to Linksys Support to ensure quality service, your call may be monitored. [silence] Certain products will be supported, while end of support products will have self-help options available. Please have your serial number ready and stay on the line for assistance. [silence] Hi, thank you for calling Linksys technical support. This is Rio. How can I assist you for today? [silence] Uh I'm sorry. Uh what password are you trying to put there? Is this the Wi-Fi password or a router's password?
00:00
Speaker 1
Um, so it works fine on the, like this main computer. I want to connect my own personal device to the Wi-Fi, Um, so this computer is directly connected to the Linksys device. Um, through the ethernet, like that's how it's connected. Yeah, I mean it it shows it and I've entered it before and it doesn't work. So, it doesn't show any error message. So it just, I'll try to go connect to like any Wi-Fi and I'll put in that password and it doesn't show up. Like it doesn't connect. It's the default. I haven't done anything to it. I've only been here for four months, so there could have been a previous manager here.
01:00
Speaker 2
is this the first time that you're using the link list device or it was working fine before do you know somehow what's the Wi-Fi password aside from the one that it indicated at the bottom of the link list like what's the error message showing So you did it you did not change any any password for the Wi-Fi it's just the default password
01:00
Speaker 1
Done with that? I was going to see if I could give you like the serial number and then maybe you could change it or something like that. And [silence] How would I find my account information? You just need a router, you need the router password. Would that be the same as the Wi-Fi? Because it only shows Wi-Fi name, Wi-Fi password, serial number and then Mac address.
02:00
Speaker 2
Oh, uh, yes, sir. I can, uh, I can ask for the serial number. However, if you wanted me to check what's the Wi-Fi password or change the Wi-Fi password, I cannot do that. We don't have a tool for that. So, all you need to do for that is you can try to log in to the Linksys account and you might be able to check what's the Wi-Fi password. Uh, there will be no, there's no need for an account information, you just need a router password to log in. password. Yes.
02:00
Speaker 1
Right. Yeah. It's 30 so three zero and then N as in number, 10 m as in man 23 d as in dog, 0 4 0 1 2 ye
03:00
Speaker 2
no. Router password if you did not change it, if it's just the default one, it should be admin. That's the password. Now if you've changed that before, uh there is an option, it's either you can reset it or you need to reset the whole system and set up again a device. But temporarily you won't have an internet. Can you confirm to me what's the serial number for your device? Oh, uh your router is[silence].
03:00
Speaker 1
[ silence ] so what would you what would you suggest me to do then [ silence ] Yeah, so I've done that. I've gone to settings like, I'll go right now, and it just says like, I'm connected through ether e ernet. It just says ethernet connected.
04:00
Speaker 2
400. This router, sir, is part of our first generation routers, meaning to say, aside that we no longer manufacture this device, we no longer also provide technical assistance for this router, sir. So, if uh huh go ahead. Now, if you still wanted to use this router, if it's still working with your current setup, if it does have an internet, then uh last option, sir, since you are connected wired in your in your computer to the Linksys, you can try to check in the network if you will see the Wi-Fi password there. So with the Ethernet, there's no name with the internet that you are connected?
04:00
Speaker 1
OK. All right. I'll try that if I can. Thank you. You too. Bye.
05:00
Speaker 2
now uh you can try sir to go to try to go to my router.lcl and try to log in using the default router password you're welcome you have a nice day ahead sir bye bye for now
