Obviously it needs to be for use in the UK typically rated 200240AC 50Hz. In theory, any 12v DC output power unit with those or higher ratings would do. Typical switch mode PSUs of this type these days are generally rated 100-240V 50-60Hz, 12V DC 1.0A. The exact Thomson model that I have is Model: ADS0126A-X120100 Part No: DSL36879820. If buying a replacement on the Internet or anywhere else come to that - PLEASE BE WARY OF CHEAP FOREIGN IMPORTED POWER UNITS WHICH CAN BE UNSAFE AND CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD. Also, always buy power units from a recognised reputable UK supplier.

If you are looking for an alternative to the TG582n, check out my list of six modems suitable for networks of various sizes and levels of complexity. Modem Infinitum Technicolor Tg582N How To Telnet InContents Configuring The TG582n Hot To Do Stuff How To Telnet in to the Modem How to Update the DNS Servers How to Disable DHCP Change the Modem Password How to Reboot the Modem TG582n Downloads User Guide Command Line Interface (CLI) Reference My Grudge Note: My discussion and instructions below are based on firmware version: 8.4.4.J. I was first stricken with the Technicolor TG582n ailment when our UK office was provided with one of these festering fecal-esque abominations of a modem by our ADSL provider. So why do I hate it so much Well... Web Interface GUI The web interface is baffling in its layout, flow and general navigation set. Theres a main menu down the left hand side that shows you various sections of the modem, giving prominence to Broadband Connection and Technicolor Gateway options the two options you are least likely to change (if ever). After that comes an option called Toolbox great I thought, a place where I can actually edit settings. Alas it seems the developers of the GUI like a touch of irony as Toolbox is a collection of useless features that barely seem to work and the ones that show the info you want are read only. Port Forwarding Problems I was implementing Small Business Server 2011 behind the modems firewall. To facilitate access to its webmail and remote email services, this requires both port 80 and port 443 to be open and forwarded to it. Unfortunately if as in my case your ISP is using port 80 and port 443 for remote access to the modem, any attempts to use those ports give a message saying its already in use (but no details). Worse still if you create your own Application, with all the ports listed in it that you want open including port 80 or port 443, the modem simply accepts this giving no errors but it just doesnt activate the port forwarding. In the end I had to contact my ISP and they had to relinquish remote access to the modem for me to get use of port 80 and 443. Additionally, here the bloody awful GUI strikes again, making editing the port forwarding a nightmare. Configuring The TG582n Hot To Do Stuff How To Telnet in to the Modem Many updates and changes to the TG582n cannot be made via the GUI so need to be done via the CLI (Command Line Interface) and to do this you need to connect to the modem via Telnet. To do this on a Windows machine, you need to open a Command Prompt (type cmd at the runsearch programs box if you cant find it). Modem Infinitum Technicolor Tg582N Windows 7 8 UsersImportant Note to Windows 7 8 Users: As of Windows 7 8 Microsoft have telnet disabled by default. To enable it you need to go to Control Panel Programs Programs Features Turn Windows features on or off and check the box that says Telnet Client. A black box will appear (see image right), type the following to connect, replacing the IP address with the one of your own router: telnet 192.168.254.254 (hit enter) Next you will be prompted for a username and a password, type in each hitting enter after each response. How to Update the DNS Servers If you wish to change the DNS servers of the modem to use (for example) Google DNS or Open DNS, you cant simply update these via the web interface as you can with any normal modem. You have to telnet in to the modem and miraculously know the arcane commands to update the servers. For those whose psychic powers are off today, heres a sample using Google DNS: dns server route list.

I presume one of those lines should be 8.8.4.4 Reply Bob McKay says: March 16, 2015 at 6:55 pm Thanks Jess Yep in my laziness I copypasted the line and in my forgetfulness, I forgot to change it I assume from your reading of this blog that you are cursed with one of these modems you have my commiserations Many thanks for the spot and for taking the time to let me know about it, much appreciated as there are those that will just copy the examples line for line. Reply mick winnett says: June 15, 2015 at 10:50 am thanks, I had a remote site hung, reboot command in gui had no effect, but the telnet command did the job, saved a site visit Reply Bob McKay says: June 15, 2015 at 11:44 am Hey Mick, Glad it helped Reply clive darra says: August 30, 2015 at 10:27 am great article but you forgot to mention it runs at about 100 degrees unless you turn it upside down which reduces it to 90 degrees Reply Bob McKay says: August 31, 2015 at 9:00 am Hey Clive, LOL yep I did forget that It could actually be used as a novelty cup warmer to keep your beverage of choice from getting cold.
