PLDT's WiFi router name is simply PLDTMYDSL. So if you live in an area (like I do) with several PLDT DSL subscribers nearby, chances are, your gadgets will detect other routers with a similar name.
What's good at least is that you can actually change the extension to have a unique name assigned to your device (i.e. PLDTMYDSL_YourDesiredNameHere). Other than the WiFi name, you can also modify the Wi-Fi password to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to your connection for free. Here's how.
1. Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1.
2. Enter the default admin login.
Username: adminpldt
Password: 1234567890 or 0123456789
Note that this is not the same as other PLDT connections such as the HomeBro Ultera (formerly SmartBro).
There are other possible login combinations based from the site HowtoQuick.

4. Click Setup on the upper menu and then WLAN on the left panel. It will show the Basic settings.
SSID is the Wi-Fi name.
5. On the left panel, go to Security.
Pre-Shared Key is the Wi-Fi password.
Tick the "Show Pre-shared Key" box in order to show the password (making sure you typed it right).
6. Apply Changes for both Wi-Fi Name and Password updates.
