Illegal Boosting: Using Globe Prepaid with PLDT Router?

Introduction

This tutorial provides a method to connect a Globe Prepaid modem router as a second router to a PLDT router when traditional configurations fail. It is based on experimentation that addresses common issues faced when setting up multiple routers. This guide is intended for users looking to expand their home network effectively.

Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment

• Ensure you have the following:
  • Globe Prepaid modem router
  • PLDT modem router (e.g., ZTE F670L)
  • Access to the admin interface of both routers
• Gather necessary credentials:
  • PLDT Username: adminpldt
  • PLDT Password: HL1EU9804BKjTa6734uP370

Step 2: Access the PLDT Router Admin Interface

1. Open a web browser and enter the following URL:

   http://192.168.1.1/PLDTadminLogin
   

2. Log in using the credentials provided above.

Step 3: Configure the Globe Prepaid Modem Router

1. Connect your Globe Prepaid modem router to a power source and turn it on.
2. Connect your computer to the Globe router via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
3. Open a web browser and access the Globe router's admin interface. The default IP address is typically 192.168.254.254.
4. Log in with the Globe router's credentials (usually printed on the router or in the manual).

Step 3.1: Disable the DHCP Server

• Navigate to the DHCP settings in the Globe router interface.
• Disable the DHCP server option to prevent IP conflicts with the PLDT router.

Step 3.2: Change the IP Address

• Change the Globe router's IP address to fit within the PLDT router's subnet. For example, if the PLDT router's IP is 192.168.1.1, set the Globe router to:

  192.168.1.2
  

• Ensure it follows the 3-octet rule (the first three sets of numbers remain the same).

Step 4: Connect the Routers

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect one of the LAN ports of the PLDT router to the WAN port of the Globe router.
2. Ensure both routers are powered on.

Step 5: Finalize Configuration and Test Connectivity

• Reboot both routers.
• Connect a device to the Globe router and check for internet access.
• If issues persist, verify that all settings were entered correctly and that both routers are configured to communicate properly.

Conclusion

You have now configured your Globe Prepaid modem router as a second router to your PLDT network. By disabling the DHCP server and changing the IP address, you can avoid common connectivity issues. If you encounter further problems, consider revisiting each step to ensure accurate settings. For more advanced configurations, explore additional features of both routers to optimize your home network experience.
