If you have PLDT Home Fibr with Google WiFi, updating your WiFi password is as simple as going to the Google WiFi app and modifying your network settings. If not, you should update your WiFi password using the PLDT admin panel.
Changing your PLDT WiFi password can be a bit complicated, since PLDT uses various types of devices and firmware with various admin credentials. Most PLDT users have a rough time finding out how to sign in to their PLDT admin console because they don’t understand what the right usernames and passwords are. In certain instances, they do not know the right gateway or IP address used to log in to the admin screen.
With all that in view, we wrote this piece to guide you through the whole process of updating your PLDT Home Fibr WiFi password. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach because, as we described earlier, PLDT uses various models of devices with various admin specifications. If you have difficulty changing your PLDT WiFi password despite following our directions, you can visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
192.168.1.1 displays nothing. Why?

To decide your default gateway or IP address, enter the Win + R keyboard shortcut (press the Windows key and letter R simultaneously). Type cmd in the Run dialogue and press “OK.”
Select ipconfig in the Windows Command Prompt window and click Enter.

How do I know my modem or router?
Your router title or model is usually located at the bottom of the device. The router model used in this Article, for example, is AN5506-04-FA.
I have forgotten my username and my password. How will I get them back?
There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. What you should do is reset your modem by putting a pin into the reboot hole and restore the device to the factory settings, such as the default username and password.
Why can’t I log in to the PLDT admin panel despite using the correct password?
If you cannot log in by having the right admin username and password, this may mean that the site admin switch has been disabled by the system. In that scenario, just log in with the default System Management username and password, select “Debug Switch” and allow “Web Admin Switch.”
