thats what i  have read as well..

so basically the tech support went over my place just this afternoon, and did not found any fault over my line in my place, it could be on the switch it self...

i've been reading a lot about this stuff. and basically everything points to the SNR that I have.. upon looking at the figures above, i have  a fairly good downstream snr but its the opposite with the UPLOAD SNR... the tech said it shouldnt go below 6db..

i'll call them again..

and thanks roco for welcoming me back..

hello guys i havent posted for a while, but definitely i check on this site frequently.. i've been experiencing frequent disconnection over the past few weeks now.. when i say frequent its like every 10 minutes.. and it's really affecting my work.. can someone tell me the possible problem? i have some screenshots here and would appreciate if anyone can do an analysis...

by the way im using a PROLINK Hurricane 9300G ADSL modem with wifi router and built in firewall... thanks

okay ... lemme get this straight ...

since i cant access my canopy software thru http://169.254.1.1, by using this override plug, it will then enable me to access the configuration menu ?

yep once you are successful with the reset then by default you can access your canopy using the ip above.

first thing to do if you can access your canopy is to change your color code... second try to re align your canopy, and clear any obstruction that could possibly block the line of sight.. (trees, leaves) that way we can isolate the problem.

by the way make sure that nothing is blocking the Line of sight of your canopy.. probably during the first month, the tree was still a seed.. ahaha.. probably after a few months it's all over your canopy. so try going out later and try to check it out.

awtz... is tgat a smart bro? did you already tried the FOURmula of bust?

what do you mean? hehe.. I never heard of a tweak thats called FOURmula.. 

its just a burst speed my dear friend.. but yeah its fast!!!!  i suggest you guys get a 2nd opinion. measure your internet speed using other speed test site just to confirm..  

re authenticate again

ahaha.. psshh "re authenticate... again"

redundant

welcome! welcome!

After changing color codes:

improved a little.. or maybe it was off-peak hours?

thats a good speed already. no need to change!   and NO, changing color codes won't let you re authenticate again, unless the color code belongs to a different tower

Anyway, heres my AP Evals:

which one is better?

i go for the first one.. whats with the XX color code? lol

the first one is better since it has low jitter. though it has 26 user connected still it remains to be the best option for you.. jitter should be the primary concern. the lower the jitter the smoother the signal goes in.

haha i also applied your tweaks thanks for that. i was able to access my canopy page a while ago... my jitter 1-2 and rssi is ~1600.. is that good?

its a dream stat. ahaa.

i already fixed it i just change its color code to 21... but i want to boost it... from 333Kbps to 500Kbps... i already tried on how to tweak but nothing happens.. is there some other way to boost it? tnx...

you can't go from 333 to 500 unless smartbro do some physical changes on your locations AP. the tweaks offered in this site will just help you maximize the allocated speed to make sure that the 384 that was given to you will be utilized the way you want it.

i barely post my speed here but here it is..

This is the constant speed of my connection and not just merely a burst speed

i got 213 for my upload

A cautionary note on cloning mac addresses- If you don this and you try to communicate over the network with any cloned mac computer the network will go through something like this:

You type (for example) the IP address for one of the cloned computers, say 192.168.0.3. The network will broadcast "who has 192.168.0.3?" Because TWO computers have the same mac, BOTH will answer with their mac address, which is the same. The network will become confused and will not be able to connect you to either because of the conflict. It will NOT tell you what the problem is, it will just hang, and hang, finally timing out. This will happen especially if you try to network one cloned computer to the other one.

The same problem can happen if you allow Smartbro to give the SAME IP address to 2 cloned mad computers. Smartbro will expect ONE computer to answer, but it will get TWO answers. This can cause their network to become seriously confused, maybe even thinking it has been hacked by another user, cloning your mac.

I have been through all of this stuff already. I finally spoke to an engineer from smart, and he traced the problem to the duplicate mac address. He kept saying, "hmmm... this is weird... I see 2 replies to everything the smart network transmits...do you have more than one computer connected?" I played dumb, not wanting him to know that I cloned a mac. I told him it must be a smart network problem.

After that, I hooked up a router to my smartbro cable. I changed the mac addresses back to normal on both my computers. Now, smartbro sees ONLY the router mac address. I made sure that the router firewall was activated so that my 2 computer mac addresses didn't come through to the smartbro network, because that would cause the network to make me login to the portal each time I switched computers.

The same goes for routers. If you are using more than one router, make sure you don't clone the macs. Just hook the 2nd router into the output of the 1st as if it were just another computer.

Right now I'm using 4 computers on my smartbro connection, but it only sees the one mac address of my router. I can even access my canopy through my router, although the installer made all the settings correct so I didn't have to change anything

i dont think so.

i am using a hub and not a router... i have my 2 computers connected to the hub.. as you know, the hub does not assign an IP address...

my 2 pcs have the same MAC ADDRESS..  the access point assigns different IP address so with regards to surfing the net then its not a problem. the only downside is that you cannot share files among 2 computers..

so its possible to use a disconnected canopy and a MAC Address from a neighbor with an active subscription right?

before yes. but now, its no longer possible since smartbro identifies you using the MAC address of your canopy. unless you know how to modify the mac address of your canopy to make it the same as your neighbors, then that's the time that it's possible.

Can someone help me break the 384 barrier. I've tried doing the tweaks but i can't get past that barrier...

you cant go pass 384 since that is the one that is allocated to you.. you can only change 384 if you have access to the access point (cell sites).  the tweaks will just make sure that the 384 that you get will be utilized by you.

some access points has been upgraded to 512. so once again, lucky are those people!

best option is color code 111.. though it has 55 user connected it has a low jitter and a high rssi

ei guys, I'm glad you are happy with your speed.. and the credit goes to coolbuster..

Posting blogs in this fashion is not permitted in this forum, Thanks. 

 Please review the forum rules

i agree to you my connection speed las month is 450 something but now its 590 is my minimun connection...

lucky are those people.. lucky you! i got 384.. but thanks to coolbuster.. when i say 384 its 384

some base stations had been upgraded to 512..

if i were you jhonmikeb i will prefer color code 57. color 56 has more users. meaning, you will share your AP with 37 people.

good point

Well, more power to you, and yet again, good luck on your cafe.

thank you and i really need lots of good luck on my side.. it will be open november 8.. hehe

thanks again ian, youre really a big help,.

here is my EP Avaluation:

use color code 57 or 56....  the criteria for selecting the ideal color code is LOW Jitter and High RSSI

RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength

Jitter : Small rapid variations in a waveform resulting from fluctuations in the voltage supply or mechanical vibrations or other sources...

thanks ian! where can i see the coolbuster tweak? please halp. :cry: :cry:

or email me the coolbuster tweak pls.

here is the direct link..

Just a quick note for those people who are trying to access their canopy.. again please be reminded not to use a router when you try to access the canopy.. make sure you are connected directly to the POE cable.. (power over cable)  and not through the router....

Hi guys, im new here in the forums.. Im from Cebu, Philippines, using Globe DSL..

hello boymonster.. welcome to testmy.net.. I'm from Cebu as well. You'll love it here!!!
