PLDT Strikes again! PLDT Fibr router firmware update 2019

June 23, 2019 Updated by: I.C Tiempo 19 Comments

PLDT-Fibr-router-firmware-2019

PLDT Fibr router Firmware update. I received a lot of comments on my previous posts 15 new default PLDT password and usernames and 8 easy steps to access PLDT Fibr ONU router, that PLDT updated their router firmware again and the Fibr default passwords have stopped working. So, I checked it myself and it turned out to be true!

My previous PLDT Fibr ONU router software version was RP2627 and now it became RP2631. It simply means that, indeed, PLDT has updated the ONU router firmware.

Now, all of us will go back to basic admin as our way to set our router settings. The advance settings which can only be found in “adminpldt” are gone. As of this writing, I can no longer access the adminpldt account.

PLDT Fibr router Firmware update: RP2631 changes

PLDT Fibr router Firmware update

These are only my personal observation and solely based on PLDT Fibr router basic admin settings:

  • admin & 1234 (username and password) basic admin settings are still accessible. Which means you can still change your WiFi passwords, disable/enable your WPS, enable another SSID and soon.
  • Your previous WiFi password remains the same. The update did not reset the WiFi password you’ve set before the update.
  • The I.P. address of the router is still 192.168.1.1 unless you made changes yourself.
  • The I.P address of the adminpldt account remains the same 192.168.1.1/fh.
  • If you changed the adminpldt default password with your own password, the recent update did not change it, like your WiFi password. It remains the same and you can still use it if you will sign the waiver.
  • PLDT blocked or change the “fiberhomesuperadmin & sfuhgu” super admin access.
  • The WEB ADMIN SWITCH is disabled.
  • Maybe the update also changes the default password for Fibr Onu router but the username (adminpldt) is still the same.

When I tried to access the adminpldt using 192.168.1/fh and username “adminpldt” with my personal password it says, “admin account unavailable”. That’s why I made a conclusion that the URL, username and personal password remains the same despite the update. The problem is we can no longer enable the “web admin switch”.

What can we do? We have two (2) options

The first option is to sign the PLDT Waiver to regain your adminpldt access but read it carefully before signing. I will be sharing you on how to do it on my next posts.

The second option is to buy a third (3) party router like TP-link, Dlink and so on. If you choose the second option, signing the PLDT waiver will be unnecessary.

PLDT Fibr router Firmware update: Which is better?

If you want to save money or you don’t want to spend a dime for extra router and admin features then signing the waiver may be a good option. The most affordable router that I bought for my clients ranges from P 900.00 to P 1K.

If the price or money is not an issue for you, buying a router is a way better option you should take. The advantage of having a 3rd party router includes more features than the PLDT ONU router and you are not obliged to sign the Waiver.

What can you say about this update?

Hayzz! Well, I don’t think that we have a choice here but to follow their guidelines and new policy. I just hope that they are doing all of these for the sake of their subscribers. Yes, I know that this update will make our life a bit harder but if we look beyond that discomfort, we may see a better security.

I know that not all those people who want to know the PLDT passwords are PLDT subscribers a great number of those are WiFi hackers. What is your opinion about this recent PLDT Fibr router firmware update?

    Good day po.

    If I buy a third party router, will that allow me to change the settings that can be found in adminpldt?

    Thanks in advance, gusto ko lang sana mag port forward.

    I’ve changed my pldt fiber admin password about 5 days ago. Everything is going well until this day wherein my password is not working anymore. My hunch is pldt somehow got around my password & changed it again. Is there a possibility that pldt can do this?

      Yes, Sir. They did that many times, that’s an online firmware update. PLDT can access our router anytime, it is easy for them to modify it if needed.

          Punta ka sa Security tab ng router mo at Mac filtering. I suggest na Whitelist ang gagamitin mo, ilagay mo ang Mac address na gusto mong maka connect, lahat ng iyong phone, tab at laptop sa bahay niyo. Kung natapos na save mo na, ang maka connect lang sa WiFi nio ay ang mga Mac adddresses na nakalagay sa Whitelist, lahat ng gusto mag connect na wala sa Whitelist ay hindi maka connect kahit na alam pa nila ang password.

      Sana po, ma bigay ni pLDT ang ganyang feeatures without the neeed to access the adminpldt account. Para hindi na tayo magkandarapa sa pag hahahanap.

    Still shit even you add a router, some of the features like port forwarding is blocked by that PLDT router it really needs to access it, i’d already sign this waiver and still no response thru their technical team. Nauubos na pasensya ko sa kanila di ko magamit tuloy ung online access ng cctv dahil sa router nila.

      Hello Sir, that’s quite disappointing. Thank you for bringing that issue here. I thought that having a third party router will be good enough. Patience lang Sir, though this update brings a bit of discomfort or upsets us, on second thought may mabuti naman itong resulta. Ang problema lang sa PLDT ay hindi nila itoh ginawa ng tama. Walang information dissemination, hindi nila sinabi ang rason ng pag-update nila at ang Waiver nila ay medyo advantage lahat para sa kanila.

      Iba-iba kasi ang brand ng router, so hindi ko masabi kong paano. Pero, you must change the I.P address ng 3rd party router mo kung pareho sila ng I.P address ng sa PLDT (192.168.1.1). Pero kung hindi naman, ok naman, karaniwan sa 3rd party router ay 192.168.0.1 whereas sa PLDT ay 192.168.1.1. Hindi ko ma explain in written ang pag set ng router, ang madaling set up nalang ang sasabihin ko. Change the I.P of your 3rd party router to 192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.254, pili ka lang sa range na yan. Then disable mo ang DHCP ng 3rd party router. Gagamitin mo lang yan as Hub at WiFi extender. Eh off mo nalang din ang WiFi ng PLDT router mo.
