Technicolor Router Login: IP and Password
Log in to Technicolor at 192.168.0.1, 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.254. Defaults by model, WiFi and reset.
Connect to your Technicolor router first by WiFi or cable. Technicolor gateways come from ISPs, so check the label first.
Technicolor, formerly Thomson, makes gateways supplied by Comcast, CenturyLink, Telstra and many other providers. The admin address depends on the model: 192.168.0.1 is common on cable gateways, 10.0.0.1 on Comcast units, and 192.168.1.254 on older Thomson DSL models. On DSL models, the dsldevice.lan hostname opens the same page.
This guide covers the main addresses and defaults, then shows how to log in, change WiFi and reset.
The fastest way in: tap the login button in the box at the top of this page, then sign in with the details on your router label.
How to log in to your Technicolor router
- Connect your phone or computer to the router WiFi, or plug in an Ethernet cable.
- Open a browser and type http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar. Comcast units use 10.0.0.1, and older Thomson models 192.168.1.254.
- Enter the username and password from the table below or from the router label.
- After logging in, change the admin password and make sure WiFi security is WPA2 or WPA3.
If the page does not open, check your Default Gateway with our Router IP Finder. ISP builds sometimes use a different address.
The 192.168.0.1 address is the one I try first on any Technicolor that will not open.
Technicolor default IP, username and password
| Model | Default IP | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC7200, TC4400 cable gateways | 192.168.0.1 | admin | admin or password |
| TC8717C, TC8706C (Comcast) | 10.0.0.1 | admin | password |
| C1100T (CenturyLink) | 192.168.0.1 | admin | On the label |
| TG789, TG799 (Telstra and others) | 10.0.0.138 or 192.168.0.1 | admin | On the label |
| Thomson TG585, TG703 | 192.168.1.254 | Administrator | (blank) |
Provider units often have a unique password on the sticker, labeled Admin Password or Access Code. The label-password detail is the one I check first on any ISP-supplied Technicolor. On some older Thomson units the label calls it the access key instead.
How to change the WiFi password on a Technicolor router
- Log in to the Technicolor admin page.
- Open Wireless or Wi-Fi, then security for each band.
- Choose WPA2 or WPA2/WPA3 and set a new key.
- Save and reconnect your devices.
On Comcast Xfinity units, use the Xfinity app if the web page hides WiFi settings. Need a strong key? Try our WiFi Password Generator. For me, the Xfinity app is where every Technicolor WiFi change starts on a Comcast unit.
Technicolor login problems and fixes
- 192.168.0.1 will not load: make sure you are on the router WiFi, not mobile data or a VPN, and type http:// in front.
- Wrong password: check the label first. If you or your ISP changed it, the defaults will not work.
- Page loads but login fails: clear the browser cache or try a private window. Some routers lock you out for a few minutes after several attempts.
- Router from your ISP: the provider may manage it. Their app or support line can reset the admin password.
- Still locked out: a factory reset restores the label login, but erases your settings.
When a Technicolor login will not work, I check the label before I touch anything else.
How to reset a Technicolor router
- Keep the gateway powered on.
- Hold the reset button for about 15 seconds until the lights change.
- Release and wait a few minutes.
- Log in with the label credentials and reconfigure WiFi.
ISP gateways may download their settings again after a reset. The 15-second hold is the timing I trust before I reach for a reset on a Technicolor.
Which Technicolor gateway do you have?
Technicolor (now part of Vantiva) made gateways for many providers, so the login depends on who supplied yours. A few patterns cover most homes:
- Cable gateways such as the TC8717T and CGA4234, often used by US and European cable ISPs, typically open at 192.168.0.1.
- Comcast-supplied units branded as Xfinity gateways use 10.0.0.1.
- DSL modems like the TG789 and TG589 series, common in Europe and Australia, often use 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138.
- Fibre gateways vary by provider, so check the label.
The model number is on the sticker underneath or on the back. Search that number with your ISP’s name and you’ll usually land on the right setup guide quickly. My first stop is the sticker model number whenever a Technicolor address looks wrong.
Settings worth changing on a Technicolor gateway
- Change the WiFi password from the label default, especially if the gateway was second-hand or used by a previous tenant.
- Change the admin password if your provider allows it.
- Set WiFi security to WPA2 Personal (AES), or WPA2/WPA3 mixed if available.
- Turn off WPS.
- If you use your own router behind the gateway, look for bridge mode or ask your ISP to enable it.
Some Technicolor gateways have two admin levels: a basic user login and a technician login the ISP keeps. If a setting isn’t visible, it’s probably behind the technician account rather than missing.
The two-level login is the detail I explain first when a Technicolor setting goes missing.
