Hi everyone Im new here & to routers & VPN.
Im trying to find the DD-wrt file for a technicolor tg589.
Ive looked on the data base & cant find anything. Does anyone know how I can find 1 or if this Router is a Clone.
It will tell you were you can find the supported device database, if it is not there it probably is not supported

I can't imagine that your ISP would be happy with you flashing their equipment with nonstandard firmware. Certainly here I'd expect an ISP would make a subscriber who did that then buy their hardware from them at some inflated retail price. _________________ Five WRT1900ACSv2's on 42926, 44048.

I have a Technicolor TG589vac v2 too, it's now surplus to requirement as it was used by my last ISP. It's currently not supported by dd-wrt.
I would like to attempt to get dd-wrt working on it as a learning excercise. I know that the VDSL modem will probably never be supported, that's fine. There is a WAN port to use with existing modems.
The info I have so far:
* It's been rooted:
** Using an engineer jailshell login
** modifying the nvram to run nc outwards on pressing WPS button
** SSH back into the router
** Clear provider's software checker
** Unlock root.
I shall start a new thread to see if there's any interest out there, rather than hijacking this one.
Thanks for the "good luck", your pessimism inspires me.
I guess without me clarifying what I've done so far, then it's easy to make assumptions about what I'm trying to do and the tools I'm willing to use to do it.
The process will be open to some support once I've posted my findings on a new thread.
The firmware is based on open-wrt, I've recovered all the flash images and bootloader, so it's all uphill from here
