Why change your PLDT Home Fibr WiFi name and password? As I have mentioned in how to Change the PLDT Home DSL WiFi password. The default WiFi username and password are not safe.

Anyone who is a tech geek, not necessarily a programmer, can intrude your PLDT Fibr WiFi password. Some black hat hackers were able to found weaknesses on PLDT Fibr’s WiFi password. By just turning on your phone’s WiFi, it will detect the PLDT Home Fibr’s default SSID or WiFi name.
What Happens When you don’t Change your PLDT Fibr WiFi Password
Your PLDT Fibr WiFi Password might be compromised using the Hex Code/Mac Table technique
When that happens, the hacker will only need to get the last five digits of your WiFi name. Then convert it using the Hex Code/Mac Table. That’s it, and your neighbors can now access your WiFi for Free by adding the default “PLDTWIFI + the converted five (5) last digits”.
The good thing about PLDT Home Fibr is that PLDT WiFi hacker apps will not work on it. And changing your PLDT Home Fibr WiFi name and password will keep the hacker at bay. Which what we are going to do.

Rename PLDT Home Fibr WiFi name/SSID
To change your PLDT Home Fibr SSID and password, you need to access your PLDT Fibr Modem/Router. For that, you need to open a browser (Chrome, Firefox &, etc.).
1 In your browser type, the PLDT Fibr’s I.P. address or URL, which is 192.168.1.1 by default. Don’s forget to press “Enter.”
2 Log in using your PLDT default admin username and password (admin and 1234) . If you are having trouble logging in, you may check the newly updated PLDT Default Username and password and follow the instructions in How to Access PLDT Home Fibr admin.3 Once you are logged in, you will see that there are two (2) WiFi connections or SSID’s. Let’s change the first SSID, by going to “advance” -> “SSID Name,” then type your desired WiFi name.

Hi Sir, na check mo at na set ng maayos ang sa “network and sharing center”? Try mong mag share ng isang folder sa client PC mo at ganon din ang sa server PC mo. Try mong i-network (client to server at server to client) kung makikita mo, comment mo kung hindi at kung anong error. Please bear with me lang Sir, kung hindi ko masagot agad, you know medyo mahirap i-explain kung hindi onsite ang pag troubleshoot. Nevertheless, I will try my best. Sa tingin ko hindi naman ako mahihirapan mag expalin sayo, I perceived na my ideas ka naman about these things.

Hi! I was confused dun sa pag change nang 2 SSID and password, dapat ba same yung SSID at password sa both tab? if different, anong username at password ang gagamitin for the wifi now – kaninong tab? thanks in advance!
I.C Tiempo says
Hello po, you can use the same or different SSID’s and passwords. Pero normally, magkaiba naman talaga ang nilalalagay sa bawat SSID. For example, dito sa bahay, ang sa basic is “error” ang SSID ko at password ay “becauseofme700” on the other SSID naman ay “virus” ang nilagay ko at “forevermore1” ang password. Kahit saang SSID/WiFi (error or virus) ka mag connect ay pwedi naman, pero kung gusto mo ng mas mabilis na internet connection, you should select the 5G.
