  1. Thanks for sharing this article. Is there a way to register the device’s MAC address to ensure that only those I registered will have access to my WIFI? So that even if they know the password but their device is not registered, they won’t have access to the WIFI. I did this before with Globe. But can’t find it in PLDT Home Fiber. Would highly appreciate your response. Thanks in advance. God bless and stay safe…
