PLDT Router Login
PLDT Home provides broadband services (Fibr and DSL) in the Philippines, typically supplying a modem/router combo device. This guide assists in accessing its web admin interface.
How to Login to PLDT Router
Accessing your PLDT modem/router settings allows you to manage your WiFi network, view connected devices, and configure basic options. The standard default IP address for most PLDT Home devices (both Fibr ONTs and DSL modems) is 192.168.1.1.
Ensure your device is connected to the PLDT network. While WiFi works, using an Ethernet cable plugged into a LAN port on the modem can be more reliable for accessing the admin panel.
Launch your browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1. You will be asked for login credentials. PLDT uses several default combinations depending on the device model and firmware:
- Username: admin, Password: 1234
- Username: adminpldt, Password: 1234567890
- Username: admin, Password: password (less common recently)
Some newer devices might have unique credentials printed on a sticker on the modem itself. Always check the device sticker first. There might also be separate 'user' level accounts (like 'pldt'/'1234567890') with limited access.
- Connect your device (PC, laptop, phone) to your PLDT network using WiFi or an Ethernet cable.
- Open your web browser.
- Type 'http://192.168.1.1' in the address bar and press Enter.
- Enter the username and password. Common options: 'admin'/'1234', 'adminpldt'/'1234567890', 'admin'/'password', or check the device sticker.
- Click 'Login' or 'OK'.

Troubleshooting Issues with PLDT Router
Can't log in to your PLDT router at 192.168.1.1? Try these steps:
- Verify IP Address: Double-check you typed '192.168.1.1' correctly in the address bar.
- Check Connection: Confirm you are connected to the PLDT WiFi network or via a working Ethernet cable.
- Try All Common Credentials: Systematically try 'admin'/'1234', 'adminpldt'/'1234567890', 'admin'/'password'. Check the device sticker carefully for any printed logins. Remember case sensitivity.
- User vs. Admin Login: Ensure you are using an admin-level account (like 'admin' or 'adminpldt') for full access, not a basic user account.
- Browser Issues: Clear browser cache, cookies, and history. Use an incognito/private window. Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
- Modem Reboot: Unplug the PLDT modem, wait 60 seconds, plug it back in. Wait several minutes for it to fully initialize before attempting login.
- Factory Reset (Caution): Find the reset button (usually recessed). Press and hold it for 15-20 seconds until the lights flash/change. This restores factory defaults (credentials like 'admin'/'1234' or sticker defaults). *Warning: Erases all custom settings (WiFi name/password changes). For Fibr, it might disconnect you if specific PPPoE/VLAN settings are lost. Contact PLDT support if unsure.*
PLDT Router setup
Once logged in to the PLDT modem's admin panel (preferably with full admin rights), consider these actions:
- Change WiFi Password: This is the most important step for security. Go to Network/WLAN/Wireless Settings and set a strong WPA2/WPA3 password.
- Customize WiFi Name (SSID): Change the default PLDT network name if desired. Configure 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands separately or use band steering if available.
- Change Admin Login Password: If the interface allows, change the password used to access 192.168.1.1 (e.g., change from '1234') for better security. Look under Maintenance/Administration/User Management.
- Review Connected Devices: Check the list of devices connected via WiFi and Ethernet (often under Status or DHCP Clients).
- Check Internet Status: Verify WAN/Internet connection details, IP address, and fiber/DSL line status.
- Firmware Updates (ISP Managed): Firmware is typically managed and updated remotely by PLDT.
- Reboot Modem: Apply significant changes by rebooting the device using the option in the web interface.
