Tutorial

This document provides instructions for unlocking a PLDT Home WiFi router to allow use with non-PLDT SIM cards. The steps include: 1) updating the router firmware via the web interface; 2) using SSH or sysupgrade methods to flash the unlocked firmware file; and 3) entering a PN password to unlock the router for use with other networks. Potential issues noted are the router periodically relocking, requiring reentry of the password. Credits are given to members of an online forum who provided the unlocked firmware and instructions.
