ROUTER SET UP GUIDE: Technicolor TG588v
The Technicolor TG588v is MWEB's multipurpose entry-level router. It can used for both
Fibre and ADSL products. For ADSL products the router auto-provisions, which means
that all you have to do is plug the router into the power source, turn on and the system
does the rest.

an additional Lan cable from your desktop or laptop into the back of your router, into
one of the ports marked Lan 1, Lan 2 or Lan 3 to set up the router. Even if you plan to

AUTO-PROVISIONING
This router is designed to auto – provision, which means that all you need to do is:
Ensure the router is plugged into the power source and POTS filter (as per the image on
page 2) and is switched on.
The lights on the router will start to flash, which indicates auto- provisioning is taking place.
This may take 5 – 10 minutes.
When the DSL light on the router is solid and the Internet light on the router is flashing this
indicates that auto provisioning has taken place. Open your Internet Browser (the one you
use to access the Internet). If it opens then you are connected to the Internet and your
router is working.
If you are not able to open your Internet Browser then you will need to do a manual set up.
Follow steps 2 – 10 of this guide to manually set up.
After manual set up, if you are still not able to open your Internet Browser, then please
contact MWEB Tech Support to assist.
