PLDT Router Login for Connection with Netgear Extender [Steps]

---

Millions choose to couple their PLDT WiFi routers with Netgear extenders so that they can get the super-boosted wireless internet connection throughout their house. But, they forget the fact that whenever the extender gets connected to a router through a wired source i.e. the LAN cable, the latter (router) assigns an IP address to the former (extender). In that scenario, it becomes impossible to access the Netgear extender’s default IP address even if you are connected to the Netgear_ext network. Which IP address to use in this case and how will be the PLDT router login process helpful? Let’s find out.

How PLDT Router Login will Help You with Extender Setup?

We’ve already told you that the PLDT WiFi router will assign a new IP address to the Netgear extender if you have connected your devices through an Ethernet cable. It means you will only be able to access the Netgear extender setup wizard through the newly assigned IP address.

This IP address can be checked from the web-based management panel of the PLDT WiFi router. For your information, you have to complete the PLDT WiFi router login process. Check out the next section to learn how.

How to Complete PLDT Router Login to Know Netgear IP?

It is necessary that you disconnect your computer from the PLDT WiFi router and connect it to the network broadcasted by the Netgear extender.

Once done, follow the instructions given below:

• Re-open the web browser and into the address bar, type the IP address that you’ve taken notes of after completing the PLDT router login process.
