How to change your username on the TG 588V2 Router
Before starting you will need a note of your internet username and password. When you first applied for service this would have been sent to you as part of the set-up activity for your order. If you are unable to locate this then call our support centre and we can provide it to you.
For reference, username formats may look like this:
bbw.yourusername@cwhome2.net (the number in this format could be 2,3,4,5, or 6)
bbw.yourusername@cwvdsl.net
Step 1 - Open your internet browser, you can use any browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. You may be presented with an error message when you first open the browser because you are not online; ignore this and click in the long address bar at the top.
Step 2 - Delete whatever is in there (mostly likely your usual home page address for example www.bbc.co.uk) and type the following - 192.168.1.1, then click enter.
Step 3 - You should then get the Technicolor screen below.
