wireless network by using a Linus re 5300. And so I have the RE6300, which had been set up previously. So, when I try to connect to it, instead of the Linus extender setup, wizard or whatever that is, what I get is the name of the old network, which doesn't exist anymore. So I'm wondering how to reset it. I've held the reset button in for 20, 30 seconds and it doesn't respond. My Mac keeps detecting it as this name of this old [silence] network. I'll have to unplug it to do that. I'm blinking blinking.
01:00
Speaker 2
Yes, please, ma'am. Ah, adhere? Can you provide us real number of this extender that you have, sir? And before you unplug it, sir, what's the light status of your extender?

Speaker 1
You there you there? Hello yeah and you want me to unplug it and look at the Serial number okay well it's on the back here hold on for a minute it's not a new device and I've had it for a while so but I haven't I stopped using it because we with our new setup we don't need it but I'm just trying to use it again that so I can print uh wirelessly so the serial number is one 7x as in X-ray one one P as in Paul 08703581 [silence]
02:00
Speaker 2
linking orange. Yes, sir. I'm still here. And so that's linking orange. Yes, please. And you didn't. Mm-hmm.
02:00
Speaker 1
And all I wanna do is just reset it, so I can set it up again. It does- No, it just shows up as the name of the old network that it used to be connected to. [silence] And I've tried pressing the reset button for, you know, 30 seconds, and it just doesn't seem to do anything. There's there's a button above the reset place. What does that gray button do? Oh, I see, I see. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. A paper clip. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
Got it. A moment here. And you could not find the link setup on your.. share? Under your Wi-Fi? [silence] Here one moment here. Here. it's the... Has a label. Sorry, you can just connect it directly without using a password, you just simply press that one, unplug your device, have... WPS all right, and what did you use to... pressed the reset button Sir? Did you use a pen?
03:00
Speaker 1
and I could feel the button to press so [silence] I've tried it both ways. I can plug it back in again and try it again if you'd like. Okay. Yep. Okay. It's plugged back in now and it's starting up. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
Paper clip. When you reset this, is it plugged into the power source? Yes, please. Plug it in, and then wait for about one to two minutes until it's done starting up then press the reset button afterwards. Let's wait for about a minute or two.
04:00
Speaker 1
With the new router we have, we no longer needed the range extender because we can connect anywhere in the house to a new router, but it's in a different network name and the same password, the different network name. And the only reason we want to use the links is just so that I can wirelessly print. Okay, it's got a blinking yellow light now. Yeah, I'm I'm using a paperclip and I can feel the button to press. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
Mhm. I see that. Alright. So, yeah, can you press the reset button, sir? Using a pen? Or if you have any pointed objects?
05:00
Speaker 1
I, I'm pressing very hard. It's uh hard enough. I feel it, uh, I feel the button move. And it's still blinking yellow light. I mean, how long do you have to hold the button down? Well, it's been that already and I'm still getting the blinking light. And if I go back to my Mac and I select networks, it's going to show up as the old network. Now I can, I can connect to it with my Mac and uh reset it that can I reset it that way? Okay, well I've been holding it since you and I have been, you know, it's, it's, it's not doing anything.
06:00
Speaker 2
All right, and you press it harder, correct? All right, closing the. should be 10 to 20 seconds. I don't see. Um, no, sorry, you need to press the reset button, forget to reset it.
06:00
Speaker 1
It's supposed to do when it resets. No, the light's not turning off. [silence] Light's not turning off. Well, the paper clip is working just fine. I actually feel the button go down. I, I do, I have a pen? I don't know. I mean, I have a pen. Sure. Will the pen reach it? I don't know. I mean, it's close to the, it's close, it's near the ceiling now, so it's hard to get the pen in above it. Hold on for a minute. There's no other way to reset this. Okay, let me just see if this pen will work. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
It should the light should turn up, sir. and it will go back. and can you use other objects, sir? like do you have any pen that you can use to press it? Alright. no, sir. you need to press it manually.
07:00
Speaker 1
I could try a pen. Hold on. Let me, let me. I gotta plug it in somewhere else where I can... You find an available plug. Okay, well, here's a plug. Okay, it's plugged in again to a different plug. I guess we'll have to wait for the light to go on. [silence]
08:00
Speaker 2
all right yes sir let's wait for a minute
08:00
Speaker 1
[silence] If I can't reset it, maybe I can, you know, uh, try to connect it to the other network, the new network. [silence] So it has to be reset to connect to the new one. Okay. The blinking orange light is on. Now you want me to push it with a pen? [silence] I don't think it's doing anything. I don't feel any resistance or anything.
09:00
Speaker 2
You cannot connect it to the other network. Sir, if you cannot reset that one, then it will still copy your old network. Yes, sir. [silence] Yes, please.
09:00
Speaker 1
I think the paper clip is working much better. Okay, it's not doing it with the pen, but the pen isn't pushing the button. I don't think the pen even reaches the button, but the paperclip does. I can feel it. Okay. It's down. I feel the button click. It's down. Okay. The light went, the light went out, the light went out. Now, do I let the button go? Okay. Okay.
10:00
Speaker 2
Because if the device won't reset, Sir, uh, it means that it's not responding. So there might be some hardware issue with that extender that you have. [silence] All right. So still the light is not just fine. All right. Release? Yes, please. And let's wait Sir for [silence]

However, if you don't want to proceed with the payment sir, what I can do here is I could send you an email instead on how to set it up yourself.
