Technicolor routers: remote access & local access

Modified on Wed, 12 Jul 2023 at 03:12 PM

All of our Technicolor routers ship with Remote Management hard-wired (even a router reset will preserve Remote Management).

How to access: httpS:// + ip address + /8443 ( Example: https://101.102.103.104:8443 )


The username is: remoteadmin

The password is: {please contact us for the specific hard-wired password for the device, often the serial number}


Please see our related articles for things such as speed tests, WiFi diagnostics, user blocking/enabling, and so on...


Local access

To logon locally (via a LAN cable or WiFi) go to https://192.168.1.1 and use the username "engineer" and the password is the "Access Key" printed on both the WiFi card and the router label.


Changing the broadband PPP creds (if re-cycling a router for use on another service)

Once logged in navigate to "Internet Access", edit the credentials and click "Save"


[PPP broadband creds are now updated]



Which model is best?

Our recommended model: DWA0120 (as of 2022 we now use the updated DGA0122 model)


  • Auto-sensing for FTTP (1 Gbps, via WAN Ethernet port); connects direct to ONT box on wall
  • Auto-sensing for FTTC (80 Mbps and 40 Mbps profiles); built-in modem connects to wall socket
  • Auto-sensing for ADSL (all profiles supported)
  • USB supports 5G/4G dongle for failover
  • AC 5 Ghz WiFi (3x3)
  • Higher spec CPU with DLNA Digital Media Server
  • Supports signal vectoring, Impulse Noise Protection and QoS for the best possible performance
  • Full spec sheet attached


Tip: if you need to change the internal VoIP service listening port from 5060 (for example, to host your own SIP server), then use this command at CLI (SSH locally):

uci set mmpbxrvsipnet.sip_net.local_port 5061 
apply


Admin tip to change the control file:

URL /isp.lp

"DELETE" "ISP File Control", then enter new creds

This creates a new permanent file that survives a hard reset.
