How do I change the wireless name and password on my Technicolor TG589vac v2 router? (1)

To protect your Technicolor router from being accessed wirelessly by unauthorised users, you can change your wireless password. For a personal touch, you can also change your wireless name.

Changing Your Wi-Fi Name and Password

1. Connect a device to your Technicolor router using an Ethernet cable (recommended) or Wi-Fi.
   
   
    
2. Open a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 into the address bar, then press Enter or Go.
   
   
    
3. On the Technicolor screen, select Sign In at the top right.
   
   
    
4. Enter your username and password to sign in. The default username is admin. The default password is either 'admin' or the access key found on the label on the back of your router.
   
   Note: If you have previously changed the password, use the new password you set.
   
   Click Sign In.
   
   
    
5. Click on the Wireless tile.
   
   
    
6. Select the network name under the Access Point 2.4GHz (2.4G) or Access Point 5GHz (5G) section. You can change the name for one network and then the other.
   
   The example below shows changing the 2.4GHz network (2.4G).
   
   
    
7. To change your wireless network name, locate the SSID Name setting, delete the current name, and enter your desired network name.
   
   
    
8. Ensure the Security Mode is set to WPA2-PSK. Then, under Wireless Password, delete the current password and enter a new one. The new password must be at least 8 characters long.
   
   
    
9. Once you've finished, scroll down and click Save at the bottom of the page.
    

   Important Note

   After changing your wireless name or password, devices may disconnect. You will need to reconnect them using the new details.
