WELL TRY THIS ONE!

WARNING: During the process, you will be disconnected from the internet, but of course you'll be able to get back. So I suggest you copy and paste this tutorial on notepad for a safer reference, just in case.

Follow the steps:
1. Go to Control Panel, and then onto Network Connections.
You should see your Local Area Connection. Right click on it and click Properties.

2. A new window pops-up, which says "Local Area Connection Properties".
On the General tab, there should be a box which contains a list with checkboxes beside them.
Scroll down to the bottom and you should see the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item. Double click it.

3. Another window pops-out. It says "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" and you should be on the General tab.
There are two options there enabled by default: Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server
address automatically. Now read carefully for this one:
- Click on Use the following IP address option. Enter these data:
- IP address: 10.20.30.40
- Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
- Default gateway: leave it blank
- Click on Use the following DNS Server addresses:
- Preferred DNS server: leave it blank
- Alternate DNS server: leave it blank
After you entered correctly all the data, press Ok.

4. You are back at the Local Area Connection Properties window.
Press Ok to apply the changes. Wait for a moment for the changes to take effect.
By this time you will be disconnected from the internet.
But dont worry, you'll be able to be back of course
(Just refer to PART 4 below to know how to get back to the internet).

PART 2: The Canopy IP Address Quest

Now you need to know your Canopy IP Address. There are two ways I know of:

-> Method 1 (The Safe Way):
1. Go to Start -> Run -> cmd.exe. On the command promt,
type arp -a (take note of the space after the word arp).
The command prompt will display several IP addresses. Example:

C:Documents and Settingsgiluk_no_jutsu>arp -a
Interface: 10.20.30.40 --- 0x2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
10.0.0.1 0a-00-3e-f7-de-2d dynamic
10.247.222.45 0a-00-3e-f7-de-2d dynamic

So my Canopy IP Address would be 10.247.222.45.

PART 3: Into the Forbidden Domain we Hack!

Note: Make sure you have done the set-up on Part 1 above before proceeding.

1. Open your web browser and enter your Canopy IP address on the address bar. You will be brought to the Canopy Homepage.

2. On the left side of the Canopy page, you should see a navigation box. Click Configuration.

3. Click on the Quality of Service (QoS) Tab.
You should see your Bandwidth Settings.
Take a look at your Sustained Uplink Data Rate and Sustained Downlink Data Rate.
By default they should be both at 256. See? Those are your default download and upload limits. Kinda sucks right?

4. Alright, so listen well. Change both of the Uplink and Downlink values to 500.
Actually you can set the values to any number you like as long as their total would be 1000
(eg: you can have your downlink: 600 and uplink: 400, or you can have downlink: 700 and uplink: 300).
However, The recommended value for both uplink and downlink rates is both at 500.
So I suggest you have the recommended value as well. Click the Save Changes button.

5. The screen should say Reboot Required. So press the Reboot button. By this time,
your Local Area Connection icon on your tray area (botton-right side of your desktop)
should have an X mark on it. Just wait for a while until that X mark disappears. That's it.

PART 4: Getting Back Online

The last thing you need to do is to connect back to the internet.

1. So go back to Control Panel, and then onto Network Connections.
You should see your Local Area Connection. Right click on it and click Properties.

2. A new window pops-up, which says "Local Area Connection Properties".
On the General tab, there should be a box which contains a list with checkboxes beside them.
Scroll down to the bottom and you should see the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item. Double click it.

3. Another window pops-out. It says "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties"
and you should be on the General tab. Now click on Obtain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server automatically.
Press Ok.

4. You're back at the Local Area Connection Properties window. Again Press Ok.
Wait for a moment for the changes to take effect.

5. Open your web browser and try to test your speed at speedtest.com or testmy.net to
confirm your new download and upload speeds. You can also try going to YouTube and watch the buffer speed go zoom zoom zoom!

Cheers GUYS!
Whew! That's it. Enjoy Surfin!

if you can't access your canopy with the methods already revealed then you will end-up with the default plug. read the thread about it.

The maximum choices rather upto 7000 not from 256 to 500 and my default uplink and downlink are set to 3500 when i open my canopy. What would be the best setting? Help me.
