All hotels WorldwideI’ve been using a PLDT MyDSL internet broadband service for quite some time now. I made the switch since my previous Smartbro’s Share-it connection deteriorated. Smartbro was running fine at first but I’m guessing their network got overloaded in my area as subscriber numbers base grew too much. Anyways, I’m very satisfied with PLDT MyDSL’s reliable service at the moment and was very excited when they released a new WIFI Modem, which is PLDT’s first modem-and-Wi-Fi router-in-one.
PLDT MYSDL WIFI Modem Review
It’s perfect since we share the internet connection at home among a few PCs. When I got the WIFI Modem unit, it was so easy to install since it’s a plug-and-play device (no need to deal with the technical process of setting it up). I just connected the modem to the PLDT line, plugged the LAN cable from my PC, and everything was already running perfectly.
The modem also has a built-in WIFI router, which is just what I needed. Now, I can connect my netbook to the WIFI network and make my blog posts from anywhere around the house. I sometimes even go out of the house so I can work on a more “outdoor setting.” It’s much more liberating than spending most of my day cooped up in my room.
Securing the WIFI connection was also very easy, I just had to type in the IP address of the WIFI Modem (192.168.1.1) in my browser, type in the default admin log-in details, and then create a WEP Key password.
PLDT MYSDL WIFI Modem Features
- Plug and play device just like the regular myDSL modem
- WIFI range is up to 25 meters
- 4 port hub for LAN connections
- Priced at P2,200 for plans 990 and 1299 and P1,000 pesos for high speed plans: 999/ 995/ 3000
- Ultra sleek black design
If you’re interested to acquire a unit, just inquire at your preferred PLDT office.
PLDT MyDSL Speedtest
We’re subscribed to PLDT MyDSL’s XCEL 3000 Plan promising speeds of up to 3.0 Mbps. Indeed, PLDT holds up to its promise giving me average download speeds of 3.1x Mbps or around 350-375 KB/s. Best of all the internet connection is very reliable, I’ve not noticed any network disruption yet.
I give PLDT MyDSL two thumbs up!

My name is Marcos. I'm an off-beat explorer who loves to experience and capture the beauty of the Philippines and Asia. I started making a living online to support myself financially through my university degree. I've been living a location-independent digital lifestyle ever since. 
DO NOT BUY!!!! it will only work on computer. its not compatible to phones, tabs and ipods. even if your lucky enough to access, it will be very slow..
I didn’t experience that problem. At home, we have a desktop pc, netbook, ipod touch, iphone, samsung galaxy tab … and all devices could connect to the internet at the same time.
i am very much interested to this latest pldt wifi modem..where we can buy this unit and for the price of Php 2,200..am i going to add Php 1,000 for high speed plans..let’s say any of this three plans 999, 995, 3000? thanks.
Once you buy the unit, there’s no additional monthly payments. If you’re subscribed to a Plan 999, 995, or 3000 then the price of the wifi modem would only be P1,000 (instead of P2,200).
51ms ping? delay.. upload speed? pffff. go speedtest.net check the speed wave tab
im using smart broadband as of now and its realy suck can you help me if this new product of pldt my dsl wi- fi modem is realy worth it to buy? im leaving in malabon area
Best to ask your neighbors if any of them have a good experience with PLDT MyDSL. In general, fixed line internet connections like what PLDT MyDSL offers are much more reliable than wireless internet.
im living in malabon area
just got the wifi modem.. well i like its simplicity. but i cant tweak its advance settings like (QOS) or limiting its internal IP address, security etc… i am an advance user anyway..
this wifi modem is for people who simply wants a wireless connection in their homes.
ill say dont buy this if your an advance user..
I agree. I like its simplicity as well but since I’m not a power user when it comes to network-related stuff (yet), it’s perfect for me.
i have been trying the port forwarding but i really cant configure it, is it possible to make this modem/router device into modem only then we will connect a router,like linksys, since it is easier to configure the forwarding to other routers ?
I have ZyXEL P-660HN-T1A
type in the username: adminpldt
password: 1234567890
You can unlock all the technical settings if you enter that instead of username:admin pass:1234
San ba ko makakabili nito? Haha. I badly need this. We’re currently subscribed yung sa landline + dsl, 990 a month ata.
may i know if the picture provided is the wifi-modem which costs 1,200 php or the 2,200 php ?
thanks!
Para ma connect kayo sa wifi tignan nyo sa ilalim ng inyong modem yung WEP key doon naka lagay pldtwifi….. tapos yung number pag hinanap yung password eto ang ilagay nyo tapos hintayin nyong maka connect…
Badtrip toh,. no settings or configuration to apply, or kahit reset button man lang para magconduct ng technical isolation process. i have bad internet connection now at my shop. indi ako makatawag sa customer service, lageng bz. all connections are good and works well.,pero yung internet, wala.. ok pa yung common modem na Zyxel…
pano po i active un wps/wlan? kasi di po gumagana ung wifi tapos di po un umiilaw so it means to say na sira or pagkukulang sa pagiinstall?
mga dude` wireless ho b yang modem nyan? kse bawal n samen ung wire puno na kse ung poste dto ng mga de wire ng dsL e
Wired pa rin ang line ng PLDT mismo.
Plan 1299 ang current plan nmen ngaun, gusto ko sana i upgrade sa plan 999 ung may FREE modem+wifi na. additional P350 a month or P11 a day daw sbe sa website nila. Ibig sabihin ba nun ung monthly bill nmen mgging P1349 (999+350) or 1649 (1299+350) di ko kc alam kung san ia-add ung additional P350. Thanks!
Better contact PLDT for further inquiries.
1649 yung bill mo.. ganito na yung computation nyan: P999 (for the internet) + P650 (for the landline monthly service fee) burado na sa computation yung 1299.. we have the same plan.. nagpa-upgrade na rin ako..
yung original plan 999 kasi walang Landline na kasama, internet connection lang..
Hi marcos,
I need to know how you could write for your blogs everywhere, while on travel. For sure it wouldn’t be PLDT MYDSL. I’m thinking of Smart Rocket wifi, but it’s just limited for 50hrs/month. I need something unlimited and portable so I could update my blog anywhere I go.
Still figuring out that part. It’s one of my dilemmas while on travel too but it doesn’t bother me often because, with all the sightseeing, I don’t have much time to sit down and work on my blogs.
PEDE KO PARIN BA GAMITIN O IKONECT UN TP LINK WR740N WIFI RUOUTER KO? SA MODEM + WIFI NG PLDT NATO? PLS COULD SOMEONE TELL
hi! we have the same router.. =) ang alam ko pwede mo sya i-connect.. nasa iyo pa ba yung maliit na CD na kasama dun sa package ng router (TP link).. may instructions ata dun kung pano gawin yung connection.. =)
napagana nyo ba yung TP Link router???
thanks!
badtrip yang wifi modem na yan pag dating sa port forwading hindi q ma access ung dvr q sa cctv..mas maganda parin ung modem lang…palagi pang ng loloko yang wifi modem na yan naddc tas ang tagal na makabalik ang net….ibalik na dapat ung modem lang palpak yang wifi modem na yan..
Always be Filipino PLDTMYDSL ATMs and several unscrupulous telecommunications operators?Monthly fee asking price is 20,000 PHP (Contract for HK $ 3500.00) 100-Mbps fiber-optic broadband, eat or drink in the month of the Philippines, a senior staff salary can only spend a broadband, the fact that only in the Philippines, officials and businessmen colluded to entrapthe country can tolerate people occurred in the high-paying high-cost business environment in Hong Kong 100 Mbps fiber-optic broadband just is not enough to be HK $ 78.00 (contract for the Philippine peso, 440.00), compare the Philippines, which is why I hate the Philippines, sothe speed of the need for such a great price. In other countries, they give you the real speed fast internet speed, but an affordable price.
ask ko lng po pano ko pagaganhin yung wifi conection ko???….
hi sir!nag apply po ako ng pldt mydsl 1299,may question kc aq na hindi masagot nung agent nla skin.since wifi and modem n cxa in one,ask k lng can i use the internet kahit hindi siya nka saksak s PC/Laptop ko?kase nasa abroad po yung husband ko and kami lang ng baby ko yung nsa house so mas madali skin makapg internet qng nka wifi aq habang nababantayan ko pa yung baby ko.and syempre mas tipid sa kuryente qng hindi k n need buksan ung laptop ko ng hindi nmn ngagamit para lng mkapg wifi aq..im using smart bro plug it pero nung ngask aq sknila ung wifi nla need p dw n nka open ang pc same rin wid globe.so baka po masagot m yung tanong ko since nmn na naexperienced m n..thanks!and more power po! :)
hi! di ako yung nag-post ng blog sa taas pero i could answer your question… =)
i’m a PLDT MyDSL user for more than 5 years now.. so mejo alam ko na yung mga ganyang matters..
first, kung new subscriber ka, automatic pag bukas mo ng modem you can use the internet at once.. before kasi, you have to connect pa or like what i did, i bought a router na automatic sya na mismo nagco-connect para pag-bukas ko, diretso internet na ko..
now, since automatically connected ka na sa internet, kahit isang PC/Laptop lang gamit mo you can connect to the internet at once.. yung wifi connection, as long as within the 25-meter range ka from the modem/router you can connect to the internet..
kung ayaw mo gamitin yung wifi, bili ka na lang ng LAN Cable kung gusto mo.. 100php lang yung 6 meters cable sa Ace Hardware..
i hope nasagot ko yung question mo.. minsan kasi yung ibang agent/call center representative ng PLDT hindi knowledgeable mag-troubleshoot and answer FAQs.. scripted na yung mga sagot nila and minsan napapakamot na lang ako ng ulo sa mga sagot nila.. hehehe!!
maam khit hnd po bukas ung 1 pc nyo pwed po kaung mg-wifi kya nga po wifi ready n ung modem router nila
yung pldt wifi modem pwede mo gamitin yan khit walang pc. ang gamit lng naman ng pc ay para maconfigure nyo via gui si modem. basta na ka on c modem gadgets can connect.
oo nga mga sir magara yung modem ng pldt with wifi,nag hahatakan ng connection pag marami ng gumagamit plan 3mb gamit ko pero mabgal parin, nag try ako mag lagay ng router same problems prang naka hub siya, any solution for this problem?
salamat,!!!
d ako satisfied dito sa modem wifi router…d maka handle ng traffic.parang hindi sha router.parang switch lang. pag may mag youtube tatas ang ping agad,d maka pag GG tuloy laging delayed..tae na modem router wifi kala ko ok…walang kwenta naman…mas prefer pa ako sa old modem + router ko personal kahit mag youtube handle pa yung traffic…wag kayo bili nyan pangit yang router modem na yan!!!!
blackberry phones cannot connect
I can connect my Blackberry to this Zyxel wifi modem, and di maka-connect yung Nokia C3. After 8 months of use naddc nga cya ang ang hirap kumonect after. Four month nko nagtitiis pero yung PLDT ala ginagawa sa problem April pa ko nagreport since sinabi nila mag-uupgrade sila ng facilities (increase bandwidth to higher end users) pero and nangyari nagkanda-lokoloko na yung connection ko. 7-20x a day disconnected.
Tapos dumating technicial July 27 ang sabi sira na raw yung wifi modem ko binigyan ako nung bagong white na ZTE na wifi modem. Ay sus, mas sira pa, bulok yung firmware, may problem sa DNS allocation, kailangan pang i-over-ride DNS servers ng open dns para lang gumana. Nung sinabi ko sa technician malay daw nya, talaga daw ganun. Kainis, coz 4 months nang sira yung DSL ko.
Yung repair nila walang nagtatrabaho, lahat pangako sa ere. Tapos yung calls sa 171 nagregister as calls sa 117 na may toll charge. Patrol daw yun sabi ko retrieve nila yung calls sa Patrol anu yung ni-report ko na tig 30 mins na call? Yung problem ng DSL ko?
Four months sira pa rin.
We have already dsl plan 990 then we ask for upgrade to 1299 with free wifi modem last May 28, 2012.. they already upgrade the connection last June 1,2012 and we already pay the first bill this month however the WIFI modem is not delivered as they advised for 7 days it will be deliver.

pag mayroon nang mydsl …..pwede ba palitan yung router ng dlink …….may magiging problem ba??…..kasi nagplaplano kaming mag my dsl
paano po i connect ung wifi modem s laptop
You can connect through WIFI or wired LAN cable.
balak namin magpaconnect ng Plan1299 (1Mbps + Landline), required bang kunin ung wifi modem??? Kasi meron kaming D-Link Router na kabibili lang tapos may 3 kaming old na modems ung square. Sayang din kasi ung Php1200..
Base on my experience, Actually in my shop. 4 months n na Nagluluko ung Internet Connection ko. kpag weekdays 2 to 3 times DC yung net ko, Pero kpag Weekends tandaan nu to pag-weekends Every Hour Nagd-DC net ko. Hindi lang po ako ang nkaka-experience nito. ganon din po ang mga kakilala ko sa tondo,paco mla, at sta mesa.
ZyXEL P-660HN-T1A yung sakin. Ok naman sya.
Pero pag nag download ka ng mga very big files, need mo sya i restart after kase mag slowdown yung net at tataas ang ping. Need nya frequent restart. Pero ok naman wifi nya. Mabilis. Lahat ng phone na try namin naka connect (apple, nokia, samsung, sony). Ginawa na nga namin free wifi sa store namin.
May way din para alisin yung PLDTMyDSL sa name ng wifi.
ZyXEL P-660HN-T1A model sa modem namin.

Hi!
I have a myDSL plan 1995. My connection all over the house is great however in my room (which is at the far end of the house) has a bad connection. Can anyone suggest what I can do so I can have connection in my room? Thank you!
ano po ba requirements kapag magpapa-upgrade ng MyDSL plan? Is that as easy as going to the office and informing them that I want to upgrade to a higher plan? Or would they ask from me some documents like ID, previous bill and fill up some form?
Service not good, several times i called for a reconnection of my tel line #027234742 it was around year 2012 until now my line is not yet reconnected, what kin of service do you have…..
I’m planning to sign up for 1299 plan. What if nkasulat sa fleys for single PC lang xa., Anyone who could explain this one to me. Thanks po !

Hi! Balak ko sana magpakabit ng myDSL 999, may kasama na ba syang wifi modem na ganyan or may additional bayad para sa modem?? tsaka yung sa landline? may dagdag bang bayad dun or unli sya basta pldt ndd?? reply naman please :)
Wala po kasi kaming pc or laptop tab lang at cellphone na may wifi pwede po ba ako magpakabit ng pldtmydsl thanks po..
Hi, ask ko lang po: paano mapapalitan yung admin-1234 (default) na access sa 192.168.1.1? Kasi kung di siya mapapalitan, ibig sabihin nun ay kahit sino na naka-connect pwede palitan yung password mo basta alam lang nila yung admin-1234 (default)…
