Whether you're adjusting your network for personal preferences or business needs, configuring your router settings can optimize your connection. Below, you’ll find screenshots and advice on how to make common changes, including logging into the router, changing the wireless channel, updating your network name and password, and enabling port forwarding. These guides will help you tailor your router’s setup to suit your unique requirements.
How to log in to your Technicolor router
Before you can make any changes to your Technicolor router you will need to sign in to the Technicolor site.
Connect a PC/laptop directly to the router using an Ethernet cable.
Open a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
Sign in to the Technicolor page:
User Name: admin
Password: Serial number, (from the bottom of the router)
Changing your wireless channel
Once logged in click on ‘Wireless’. Use the drop-down box to specify a Wi-Fi Channel you wish to use, if you have two access points (2.4GHz and 5GHz) then you may need to do this on both channels. They can be selected from the left-hand side of the screen. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the most popular channels as these do not overlap, however, it may be trial and error to find the best channel for your local network.
Changing your wireless name and password
Once logged in click on ‘Wireless’. From here you can change the Wireless name (SSID name) and the password (Wireless Password). If you have both wireless bands – 2.4GHz and 5GHz – you will need to do this for both bands.
Technicolor Port Forwarding
Please note: We advise running through this configuration using a Windows-based PC/laptop with an Ethernet connection to the router. If you are using any other operating system or connecting via wireless then settings may not save correctly.
If you got a block of public IP addresses from Daisy then they will need to be configured on your router.
