== Documents ==
*[http://www.technicolor.com/en/hi/digital-home/mediaaccess/dsl/wireless/adsl/technicolor-tg582n Datasheet and brochure] on the Technicolor website
 
== Firmware Versions ==
 
Version 8.4.4.1 was the factory default (as of November 2011)
Version 8.4.7.0 is IPv6 enabled version, and was being used up to June 2012.
 
Version 10.2.0.B is being used from June 2012.
 
AAISP usually configure the router on their TR-069 server and run the upgrade to 8.4.7.0 before shipping, but some customers have been shipped trial-routers with the 8.4.4.1...
 
Upgrading from 8.4.4.1 is arranged by AAISP via the TR-069 CPE WAN Management protocol. This involves installing the "isp.def" as needed to persuade the router to connect to AAISP's TR-069 servers and asking AAISP to request the upgrade. Twice it has happened that the upgrade only partially completed, and it has been necessary to FTP to the router, re-uploading the isp.def, before it 'reports in' to AAISP correctly.
 
=== TFTP Firmware Upgrade ===
 
In some cases, customers may want to upgrade their router manually, this can be done via TFTP or via a Windows program. Files available on request.
 
When setting up DHCPD, and example config is such:
 
host gateway {
hardware ethernet MAC:OF:YOUR:TECHNICOLOR;
fixed-address IP.GIVEN.TO.TECHNICOLOR;
next-server IP.OF.TFTP.SERVER;
filename "FIMWARE-FILE.rbi";
option tftp-server-name "DAN-T";
}
 
== Other Settings & Config info ==
 
=== Admin Settings ===
 
When configured by A&A, the default username from the LAN side is: Administrator and from the WAN: aaisp. The password will be printed on the card on the base of the router, and also seen on the control pages.
 
=== Setting up Routed Config ===
 
Use the configuration-wizard (Firefox seems to work best) and choose ADSL(Expert). TODO: Describe where to find this.
 
=== Adding Static-routes ===
 
ip rtlist
ip saveall
 
=== Really disabling the firewall ===
 
From a customer: While going mad with a tg582n tonight. I discovered they try to do stateful firewalling even when the firewall is disabled in the web interface. This breaks where you want to failover to 3G. I guess it would also break if you had 2 ADSL lines.
Disabling the firewall also exposes the DNS forwarder (whose software seems to have NO restrictions on the client-IP used!).
 
=== Web Browsing Interception ===
 
Be default the router has a feature called 'Web Browsing Interception' set to Automatic. This is a proxy-like feature, and should be disabled. The setting can be found and easily changed on the web interface. From the Left Menu - Technicolor Gateway - Configuration - Configure. Set Web Browsing Interception to Disabled.
 
=== Getting rid of Open DNS Forwarder ===
 
Once the firewall is 'actually' disabled, there is now the problem that the DNS Forwarding function is now open-access to the world! This is bad because small spoofed-source UDP-packets can be sent to the router, resulting it a *large* UDP reply of the attackers' choice, a bandwidth-multiplication attack.
NB: You can check if Legacy IP addresses are running an Open Recursive server using the website:- http://security.zensupport.co.uk/recdns/
 
=== Manually adjust DHCP range ===
 
You can't delete the default DHCP range from the web GUI. You need to use the CLI!
saveall
 
After that inbound and outbound PPTP should be working again.
 
PPTP & NAT? - We've seen problems when the client is behind NAT, and the ALG/NAT on the router not passing GRE through (or something) - on a Microsoft 2003 PPTP server, the client was getting timeout Error 721. The solution was to route a block of IPs for the LAN...
 
=== Changing PPP Password, via telnet CLI ===
 
The command ''should'' be:
ppp ifconfig intf=Internet user=x@a password=secret status=enabled
 
=== Enabling/Disabling NAT ===
 
If required, rather than going through the config wizard on the web interface, you can enable/disable NAT on the telnet interface by:
saveall
 
=== 3G setup ===
 
I've only worked out some of this, but I found the following got a dongle working:
 
{Administrator}=>mobile ifadd intf=umts
{Administrator}=>mobile ifconfig intf=umts apn=CHANGEME
{Administrator}=>ppp ifadd intf=mobilebroadband
{Administrator}=>ppp ifconfig intf=mobilebroadband dest=umts
{Administrator}=>nat ifconfig translation=enabled intf=mobilebroadband
{Administrator}=>ppp rtadd intf=mobilebroadband dst=0.0.0.0
{Administrator}=>exit
 
I then went to the web interface http://192.168.1.254/_pppom_cfg.lp?be=0&l0=2&l1=2&name=mobilebroadband - replace 192.168.1.254 with the IP address of your router, and entered the username, password, and APN. For my vodafone SIM, the username was web, the password was web, and the APN was pp.internet.
