How to Setup My Thomson TG585v7 wireless router.
Setting up your Thomson TG585v7 54Mbps wireless router
Step 1 – check you have everything you need
When you receive your Thomson wireless router (as purchased from KC) you should also find in the box:
- External power adapter
- 1 x CAT5 straight Ethernet cable
- 1 x RJ11 cable
- An installation guide
If you think any of this is missing, please call the Technical Support team on 01482 606101.
Step 2 – is my PC or Laptop ready for a router?
You need to ensure your PC or laptop is capable of receiving an Ethernet connection to work with a router. This means there is an Ethernet port on the back or side of the computer. If you are unsure, take a look at the article 'Is my PC ready for a router'?
Step 3 – getting your router ready
Using the installation guide instructions, connect all of the cables to your router and computer then turn on the power at the socket.
When the ADSL light turns green on the router and stays solid, open your internet browser on your computer.
The Thomson setup wizard should automatically appear on your screen like below:
