Technicolor TG589vn Router Port Forwarding Steps

Your Technicolor TG589vn router has a very basic firewall that helps protect your home network from unwanted Internet activity. The firewall works by blocking incoming and outgoing connections that have not been authorized. To allow additional connections through your router you need to create a port forward.

We think that forwarding a port should be easy. That's why we created Network Utilities. Our software does everything that you need to forward a port.

When you use Network Utilities you get your port forwarded right now!

Step 1

It is important to setup a static ip address in the device that you are forwarding a port to. This ensures that your ports will remain open even after your device reboots.

Recommended - Our free Static IP Setter will set up a static IP address for you.
Another way to get a permanent IP address is to set up a DHCP reservation.
Or, manually create a static ip address with our Static IP Guides.

This step is important because you want a permanent IP address in your device. If you do not set up a permanent IP address in your device, then when you device reboots it may get a new IP address.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

TIP: Write this static IP address down. You need it in Step 4.

Step 2

Now we are going to login to your Technicolor TG589vn router. Your router has a web interface, so you will login to it using your web browser. This can be either Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Edge. It usually does not matter which browser you choose to use.

Open up your web browser and find the address bar. It should look something like this:

Above is an example of what a web browser address bar looks like. Find the address bar in your router and type in your router's IP address.

The default Technicolor TG589vn IP Address is: 192.168.1.1

After entering the IP address of your router you can simply press enter. If all goes well you will see the following screen:

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. If you do not, you need to find out if the IP address has been changed. To do this follow the directions on our How To Find Your Router's IP Address page.

The Default Technicolor TG589vn Router Password is: password

Technicolor Usernames and Passwords

If your username and password do not work then please visit our Default Technicolor Router Passwords page.

Go ahead and try to guess your login information. Sometimes this can be easy. If not use our Find Password App.

If you still can't login to your router because you forgot your Technicolor TG589vn router username and password, use our How to Reset a Router Password guide to set your Technicolor TG589vn router back to its factory settings.

Step 3

Now we need to find the port forwarding section in your router. Here's how you do it. Starting from the first page in your router:

Begin by clicking the Toolbox link in the left sidebar.

You should now see a new menu. In this menu click the Game & Application Sharing option.

Now click the Create a new game or application option at the bottom of the page.

Go ahead and enter the name of the program in the Name box. It doesn't matter what you enter here, but something that will help you remember why you are forwarding these ports is a great idea.

Next, put a dot into the Manual Entry of Port Maps radio button.

Click the Next button at the bottom of the page.

You are now on the correct page to make a port forward.

Step 4

Now click the Assign a game or application to a local network device option at the bottom of the page.
