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.

Hello po, nag update po ang PLDT pero hindi po kasama ang basic admin username at password. Please reset your router to access it again using the “admin & 1234”.
mark says

I.C Tiempo says
Hello po, kung change password lang naman ang problema niyo, the “admin & 1234” should do the work.

Hi bakit po ganun lumalabas “Your connection is not private” paano po b ggwin di ko pa din mapaitan pw. Fibr 1299 kami
I.C Tiempo says
Hello po, click mo lang ang advance at “proceed to unsafe”. Hindi kasi naka HTTPS ang PLDT router I.P kaya na detect ni Chrome na unsafe.
