Speaker 1
hi and we've got a Lindsay's route up and we're with Rick Cleveland and we had a static IP address added to our internet package for my son to go game to do to do more gaming and one of the things it needed to be done was to make sure that the UPNP was active or enabled on the router um so I've been into the I've typed in 192.168.1.1 to access the administrative um part of the the router on the web browser and because it's the first time I'd done it it asked me the

put a recovery key in from the router and then set up pay password. And it allowed me in, but then whilst I was talking to the Virgin Media technical guys, I've pressed back on the web page. And now I cannot get back in to the administrative part of the router. And it's telling me, and the Virgin Media tech support said that I needed to speak to you guys that it had been something that had happened a few times. My router. Nice.local. L-O-C-A-L.

It is Jess. Okay, thank you. That's correct, that's correct Jess. That's Michael.

03:00
Speaker 1
That's correct a model is SPN MX 55 The thirty two. That's correct, yes.
04:00
Speaker 2
echo 04103. What's the MODEL number of the unit? Thank you so much. How many SPnmx do you have? two. Lastly my, just to know, um, just to confirm one more, the internet provider is Gigaclear. All right. Thank you so much. All right. Thank you so much for patiently waiting as well as for Michael. So in this case, that's currently a reoccurring error regarding about the web interface access on the unit. The possible reason for it is we recently just disabled our I'm sorry, we've discontinued our cloud service.
04:00
Speaker 1
Trouble is that knocks out the whole, uh, all of the um, Wi-Fi units and stuff like that isn't there. by doing that we'd have to reset every password on any everything that's connected to the router, is that right? Yeah, everything was working on it absolutely fine, the reason is. So, I went into it, I logged into the 192.168.1.1 and it was working, you went into where you wanted it because it
05:00
Speaker 2
services in terms of syncing it up through the cloud whenever you sign in either email or password, which has affected the local access on the router. You can try factory resetting the router one more time, since initially it hasn't been configured yet, and start all over from scratch. To factory reset the router, you just need to hold the reset button for 20 seconds. Hm, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What was it? Is is it already configured right now? I see.
05:00
Speaker 1
it was the first time that I'd, um, been in there, it asked me to put a recovery key in, I put the recovery in, and then it asked me to set a password, which I did, and it went into where I wanted it to be, was the actual router was locked in, um, and then I, backed, went back, uh, I picked the back page, on the router, or on the page, um, and and then it wouldn't let me back into the, into the administrative page of it. Okay. So, is there any reason why it's done this?
06:00
Speaker 2
I see regarding about your question earlier yes it will disconnect the devices that are already connected however you can set your linksis routers back to the same wifi name and same wifi password so your devices in theory can connect automatically on their own there no this one [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so if I reset everything and then do the same thing again, it's going to ask me for the recovery key and then it's going to ask me for a password. Why is it then not going to do exactly the same thing? [silence] Ron?
07:00
Speaker 2
It is fairly new. Once again, it's due to the current changes happening on the log in preface on the unit itself, since we just recently discontinued with the cloud services. If you perform a complete factory reset, naturally it will wipe out all changes done on the Linksys router. So, if you do it all, if after a factory reset, yes, it will ask you that same question all over again since it doesn't recognize that changes that was performed now. You can write all the necessary credentials, like for example, the five digit recovery key, so that you don't need to keep on going back and forth on the device themselves. So you can just do it all the way through.
07:00
Speaker 1
But but what I mean is, is why is he not going to do then exactly the same thing as what it's done now when it's been the factory reset? Right. So it's Okay. And so the reason that he me wanted to do was to make sure that UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP was enabled on the router. Is that something that he's going to be enabled on the router? Right. Okay, so I think I'll believe it for the time being, but to do it, I mean to do a the full reset on the um um on the router. Is that correct?
08:00
Speaker 2
you can try after the factory reset to immediately access the 192.168.01. so that you can also reconfirm if it might happen or not anymore once again this is currently a fairly new problem and we're already looking into it as well we're in terms of an answer I'll state expectations we do not have a definitive answer as of the moment. Yes by default it should be enabled already. Yes, the reason, UPnP in short terms is a universal plug and play in other words, the moment you plug a device, it should either automatically work or connect on the Wi-FI on its own, the router already has it enabled by default. So it just depends whether the device has that kind of feature as well. [silence] Yes, that is correct. [silence] All right. Thank you so much for calling linksys, take care, and have a great way a great day. Feel free to call us back if there is some issues. Bye-bye for now.
