The 30-30-30 reset

There are no specific instructions for this model yet, but you can always do the
30-30-30 reset as follows:
When router is powered on, press the reset button and hold for 30 seconds. (Use a
paper clip or something sharp)
While holding the reset button pressed, unplug the power of the router and hold the
reset button for 30 seconds
While still holding the reset button down, turn on the power to the unit again and
hold for another 30 seconds.
This process usually works for resetting any router to it's factory setting.

Note: It is worth reading more about how to reset routers with the 30 30 30 reset
and what the risks and
considerations are when resetting your router this way, instead of just rebooting
it.

Find the WiFi Settings on the Thomson TWG-870

If you followed our login guide above then you should see this screen.

labeled Wireless. Then on the left side of the page, select the Primary Network
option.

Change the WiFi Settings on the Thomson TWG-870

The first setting you need to change on this page is the Network Name (SSID). This
is your internet identification and
should be unique. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we recommend avoiding
personal information. Take a look
at this guide for more on the subject.
A little farther down the page you should see four different security options, WPA,
WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK.
To learn what the differences are in these options, take a look at this guide. We
recommend the most secure choice
 of WPA2-PSK.
Set the WPA/WPA2 Encryption to AES.
The last setting that really needs to be changed is titled the WPA Pre-Shared Key.
This is the internet password and
should be strong. The more random a password looks, the stronger it is. Use a
minimum of 14 to 20 characters.
Try adding some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in the password for even more
strength. More ideas can be found
in this guide.
Click the Apply button and you're finished.
Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings
After making these changes to your router you will almost definitely have to
reconnect any previously connected devices.
This is usually done at the device itself and not at your computer.
