How to Know How Many Devices Are Connected to PLDT Wifi
Step 1. Access the ISP Interface.
The ISP (Internet Service Provider, which refers PLDT in this guide) Interface is commonly known as the PLDT modem/router configuration interface or modem settings. Assuming this is your first time to access your modem settings, these are the things you need to do first.
- Open your browser and enter this URL : http://192.168.1.1.
- Enter the default username: adminpldt and password: 1234567890.

Step 2. Locate the Client List Button.
The Client List in your modem settings contains all the list of active devices connected to your wifi. This is what you are looking for.
Take note that PLDT uses different modem brands but the two most popular are BaudTec and ZyXEL. So check the images below if it matches your current interface. Technically, some have different interfaces but the features and functions still the same.
For PLDT Home DSL BaudTec Modem, go to Setup menu ➡️ WLAN sidebar menu ➡️ Basic submenu ➡️ Show Active Clients button.

What if unauthorized users access our wifi but their mc addressess are not shown in the clients active list even they are active to use our wifi.how do i block them?
Hi Jbeh. Have you tried the other way around? Instead of blocking the unauthorized users, just filter and only allow the authorized users of your wifi. I hope you get the idea.
