In the current era that we’re in, constantly changing your home or business PLDT WiFi password is very crucial. Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons why.
Changing your PLDT WiFi password, especially from the default one that came out of the box, ensures that your password cannot be easily guessed via patterns and whatnot.
In addition, changing the default password allows you to input a new combination that’s easier to remember and harder to crack. If you’re deciding what password to choose, experts suggest to use at least three random words, numbers, and symbols.
Other than default password users, having a new one also works for old modems, especially those who already have tons of devices connected to them. Already hate that neighbor? Kick them out of your WiFi.
Whatever your reason may be, we’ll show you how you can change the WiFi password on your PLDT modem.
