Attention: This is to inform everyone that this post is not an official post from PLDT support nor its technicians. I am just a lowly housewife (that's why the name of the blog is techiehousewife) who've discovered how to do these stuffs. For more technical concerns, please contact pldt. Thanks!
TIP: Before continuing to this article, make sure to check your router, modem and connection if it is PLDT Home Ultera.
Recently, technicians from Smart came to our home to change our antenna and router because, they said, they need to upgrade these things for all consumers for free. Of course I agreed because it's FREE! Now, they changed our Smart Broadband connection to PLDT Home Ultera, which is LTE connection. This is how you change the wifi name and password.
1. GET THE DEFAULT GATEWAY IP ADDRESS
For SmartBro, the default IP address is 192.168.1.1 but PLDT Home Ultera has different IP address depending on the router provided. To check, go to CMD. For windows, you can easily press and hold the Windows button on your keyboard (usually near the space bar) and press letter R. That would be Windows+R, which will open the RUN window. Type cmd on the input box and press Enter which will open the CMD. Type ipconfig in cmd.
2. IN THE BROWSER, GO TO THE IP ADDRESS FROM DEFAULT GATEWAY
3. LOGIN
The default Username is homebro and password is homebro. If this doesn't work, call your local Smart or PLDT customer service to ask what settings did their technician put.
4. CHANGE WIFI NAME
To change the WIFI name, click Wireless from the menu then Basic Settings. Change the value in SSID then click Modify button.
5. CHANGE WIFI PASSWORD
To change WIFI password, click Wireless from the menu then Security. Change the value in Pre-shared Key then click Modify button.
You're Done! You can change other values in your settings but I advise that if you are not familiar with them, do not attempt to change them.
