Speaker 1
Put me back to that 404 again. What are you gonna do now?
60:00
Speaker 2
Okay. You might need to reset and reconfigure your Linksys router. So by doing reset, all the settings that you created for it will be back to default or will be removed. So since we can't log into the system settings, we can do anything unless you're able to log into the system settings. Now, what's gonna happen is that we may need to reset your Linksys router and configure the settings again back to, uh, whatever you applied for that. And also, doing reset will, it will remove or erase the configuration you have set for your Linksys router like the WiFi name, the password, router password and account.
60:00
Speaker 1
so can you do it from on your end? this is crazy. all those. Let me just get in the other room again. this is getting nuts. Hold on. [silence]

Speaker 2
Speaker should speak more slowly We need to apply those again after the reset. No, I can't do it in RN. I'll walk you through how to do it. [silence]
61:00
Speaker 1
What's what's can happen? What are I do that? What am I supposed to do right now? What do you mean that?
62:00
Speaker 2
all the wifi settings that you applied to your Linksys router, the wifi name, the password, the wireless settings, and the configuration, basically. They will be erased and removed from the router and you'll need to apply them again manually since it needs that configuration. Also, devices that are connected right now to the wifi will lose the connection. You will need to connect them again to the wifi each one of them. Now, connecting your devices to the wifi is not our support. We can help you with your Linksys router. Right. Now, maybe we can try the Linksys App. Mmhm. Go ahead.
62:00
