Three ways to reset Fibr router

For ONU Fibr router users, we have three options to reset our router. Two (2) soft resets and one (1) hard reset.

Let’s start with superadmin.

Superadmin

To reset our Fibr router in the SuperAdmin Device management, we need to know the superadmin username and password. Please copy your appropriate username and passwords according to your router’s model, brand, and software version. Already have your superadmin credentials? If so, let’s get started.

Hard Reset

This guide might be the easiest among the three (3). All you need is you can physically access your router. It doesn’t require your router’s passwords and usernames. Let’s give it a go.

1 At the back of your Fibr router look for the   small hole   with the ”   reset   ” name under it. It’s in extreme right, next to router’s power jack.

2 Once you found the reset hole, prepare a thin wire, pins, or whatever you have. As long as it will fit and firm enough to press the reset button. Most importantly, it will not damage your router.

3 Now, using the thin wire, slowly insert it into the reset hole. There is a small button inside, make sure to press it (long-press) for about 20 seconds before pulling your thin wire or wait until the router reboots.

4 Wait for the router to fully ready after the restart. Now, that’s it; you just hard reset your PLDT Home Fibr router. What to do next? Read these important tips.
