misconfigured it and can't get access anymore.
Your can reset your Technicolor DWA1230 in the following way(s):
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
