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
PLDT Fibr router Firmware update: RP2631 changes
These are only my personal observation and solely based on PLDT

- 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
What can we do? We have two (2) options
The first option is to sign the PLDT Waiver to regain your
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 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

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.
sir noob here . papaturo lang po ako paano mag block ng wifi user na naka connect sa wifi namin ang daming mac address po kasi na hindi ko kilala ang naka connect kahit naka HIDE na po wifi namin ? version 2631 po ung pldthomefibr namin . salamat in advance sir .
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.
saan po esesend yung waiver?
Sorry po, hindi ko pa na try.
Sir, paano ko kaya maAccess ang superuser sa Enterprise account? Para kasing basic lang ang features pag-admin. Naghahanap kasi ako ng deny/allowed wifi address para mamanage ko naconnect sa amin school wiFi. Ano po kaya ang solution?
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.
nagana b 5ghz sa brdge mode ?
I am not sure Sir, hindi ko pa kasi na try.
sir paturo po ano gagawin sa 3rd party router.rekta naba yan ikabit sa modem ? wala naba gagalawin ? .thanks in advance
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.
manually off ko po sa physical button ang wifi ?
