PTCL Router Login Details

Tip: the router admin password is different from your WiFi password and from your PTCL broadband account password.

How to Change PTCL WiFi Password (Step by Step)

1. Connect your mobile or laptop to your PTCL WiFi (or with a LAN cable).
2. Open Chrome or any browser and type 192.168.10.1 in the address bar. If it does not open, try 192.168.1.1.
3. Log in with the username and password written on the sticker of your modem (usually username admin).
4. Open Wireless (or WLAN) from the menu.
5. Open Security.
6. In the Pre-Shared Key / WPA Passphrase / Password field, type your new WiFi password.
7. Click Save or Apply. The modem may restart.
8. Reconnect all your devices with the new password.

How to Change PTCL WiFi Name (SSID)

1. Log in to the router as above.
2. Go to Wireless → Basic (or WLAN Basic).
3. Change the SSID field to your new WiFi name.
4. Click Save or Apply.

Change PTCL WiFi Password on Mobile

The steps are the same on mobile. Connect to the WiFi, open Chrome, type 192.168.10.1, log in, then go to Wireless → Security. If the page looks small, switch Chrome to Desktop site from the menu.

Choose a Strong WiFi Password

• Use at least 10 to 12 characters.
• Mix capital letters, small letters, numbers and symbols.
• Do not use your phone number, name or 12345678.
• Select WPA2-PSK (or WPA2/WPA3) as the security mode.

192.168.10.1 Not Opening? Try This

• Make sure you are connected to the PTCL WiFi, not mobile data.
• Try 192.168.1.1 instead.
• Check the router address on the sticker under the modem.
• Restart the modem and try again.
• If you forgot the admin password, press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds. This sets the modem back to factory settings, so you may need to set up the internet again. If you are not sure, call PTCL on 1218 first.

How to Change PTCL WiFi Password on Laptop or Computer

1. Connect the laptop to the PTCL WiFi or plug in a LAN cable from the modem.
2. Open Chrome, Edge or Firefox and go to 192.168.10.1 (or 192.168.1.1).
3. Enter the admin username and password from the modem sticker.
4. Go to Wireless → Security, type the new password and click Save or Apply.
5. The laptop will disconnect. Click the WiFi icon, select your network and enter the new password.

Using a LAN cable is helpful because you will not lose access to the router page while the WiFi restarts.

PTCL Flash Fiber Router: WiFi Password Change

Flash Fiber connections use a fiber router (ONT) instead of a DSL modem. The login address, username and password for these routers are printed on the sticker on the back or bottom of the device. After logging in, look for WLAN or Wireless settings, then the Security or WPA Passphrase field. Some fiber routers have separate settings for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, so change the password for both bands.

How to See Who Is Connected to Your PTCL WiFi

If your internet feels slow, someone else may be using your WiFi. After logging in to the router, open Status, Device Info, DHCP Clients or Wireless Clients (the name depends on the model). You will see a list of connected devices. If you see devices you do not know, change your WiFi password at once.

How to Hide Your PTCL WiFi Name

In Wireless → Basic, many PTCL routers have an option such as Hide SSID or Broadcast SSID. If you hide it, your WiFi will not show in the list on other phones, and you will need to add it manually by typing the name and password. A strong password is still more important than hiding the name.

Internet Not Working After Resetting the Modem?

A factory reset removes your internet settings. The modem needs your PTCL broadband username and password (PPPoE details) to connect again. If you do not have them, call PTCL on 1218 and ask them to configure your modem or share your broadband login details.
