lol.. for real? dang.. you might want to share what happened. welcome to testmy.net and thanks for doing your part..

im doing good with my speed with around 600 RSSI and 2 Jitter. then i must assume there must be something on your pc. do some more tweaking and scanning.

Welcome to TMN.. the only forum where you can have both FUN and Learning.. You'll be surprised how nice people are here.... In behalf of the Filipino delegations here in TMN . and enjoy your stay. visit the link on my signature in order to get to know the people here..

WARNING! 1. Guys I don't want to sound KJ, nor I want to start an ENGLISH class here, But I just wanted to remind everyone to be careful with the words you use specifically the ADJECTIVES you put before/after the NOUN/SUBJECT. FOR EXAMPLE though we don't mean it literally some admin can take it the other way. Just like what happened to me, I was actually also with a mate who is a BIG-GUY in our TMN-Smartbro Commuity.. . in that deleted thread, we used the words "crack and some others".. you won't like the warning that you will be getting if ever you'll get one, i wasn't able to sleep that night. It was a mixed emotion, i was like mad that i was misinterpreted and at the same time I was disappointed because the person who sent me the warning was someone whom i did not expect. it was actually a very long one.. SO PLEASE GUYS just a friendly warning... be careful with the words you use... i don't want to see some people getting banned and kicked!

you can use INDEX ONE with color code 28.. it has a low jitter and a high RSSI. and INDEX four looks promising.. with color code 27. keep us posted if you made any changes.

yeah, noob is actually not in our dictionary... you can always use the search feature in this site before asking a question. because most of the time, basic questions had already been answered.

aww. I'm sorry to hear that.. keep trying the tweak, and remember to keep posted on this forum because from time to time there are new guides being posted by our friends here in TMN.. keep us updated with your connection.

you can actually transfer it to a higher location or have their technicians transfer the canopy. call them at *1888 and have a request.

first thing first.. you don't call us SIR! we are too cool to be called by that name. regarding of you having a hard time connecting to the internet after changing the color code, be informed that not all color codes are applicable to you. There are other company who uses CANOPY wireless networking to connect their businesses, (that explains why you see some tower-like (cellsite) setup on top of the buildings, since wireless networking is cost effective. many company prefer to have this kind of network than to have a wired networking which is really expensive) having said that you can expect that during AP Evaluation it is possible for your canopy (Subscriber Module) to actually detect the AP's other than that of SMARTBRO... it's just a matter of trial and error especially if you are located in a highly urbanized places. where almost all buildings uses wireless technology. try scanning AP's in your area and try trying out each of the color codes that is being presented to you. I know sometimes it gives you several results yet if you are lucky you might stumble into something that will actually work. i quote "no guts no glory".. i'll mark that words.. speaking of the technical risk that you are talking about, it's actually not deadly.. if you get locked up (e.g., Our system detected a new setting blah blah) all you have to do is actually call *1888 and tell them your service reference number or your account number... and tell them that you got this particular error.. normally and most of the time the operator wont ask what happened, they will just go ahead and reset your connection, and off you go.. but in cases that the operator ask what you did, just tell them you bought a new pc, or you just recently installed a new LAN Card but thats really very very rare of them to ask such... i have done this several times already, think of it this way, you are actually giving those call center agents some work. if you wont call they will lose their jobs, so feel good about it when you actually call them... theres no such thing as "self destruct button" so don't worry if you will mess up your connection. you can always have their competent... not... technicians come over your house.. first they will try pressing some buttons on your pc to let you see that they actually know how to type. and if your COMPUTER is not impressed by their typing and still it wont connect to the net, the competent... not.... technician will then just replace your canopy (SM) and that usually solves the problem for the meantime.. then you can do the tweaking again... peace! no sir please... just ianonline.. nyt nyt

aneljr009... thats so candid.. ahaha.. thanks for the post

so given that statistics, you are aware of what exactly to expect from you connection. also take into consideration that the advisable rssi is above 800 and a jitter below 5.

well its better if we start with the basic.. basic in the sense that we will define what Jitter and RSSI means... Jitter : Small rapid variations in a waveform resulting from fluctuations in the voltage supply or mechanical vibrations or other sources... its another word for interference which basically means an electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication... So if you get a small Jitter then you get a lesser interference thus causing a clean flow of data over the air... RSSI: RSSI means Received Signal Strength Indicator.. so having said that i guess you know already what it measures... It measures the signal you received. so having high RSSI means high level of signal being received by your canopy. User Count: Indicates the number of subscribers currently connected to that specific AP. Low user count means low Bandwidth consumption of the allocated bandwidth of that particular TOWER/Site. thus increasing boost speed and way higher sustained speed. these are actually the basic things you need to look at to when trying to check for the right AP..

it has 128..

i'm not quite sure.. but if you encounter this message you can just like freely call the customer care hotline and have your connection reset.. just tell them that you don't know how and why it happened. they don't ask for more and just go ahead with the reseting. and your off to go...

well it should work.. it worked on mine.. i used my very old laptop... and its 300MHZ beat that! so it should work. i believe you have to check that you are logged on as a root user... before you do the tweaking access your canopy page login as a root user.. then once you are successful in logging as root, dont close your browser and go ahead with the upgrade...

aw sorry to hear that, i must have skipped some line... by the way, if i'll try this what exactly should i do in the portal? it's kinda new to me..

i see you got a pretty well off speed.. sometimes we need to be contented with the speed... after all 353 is not bad.. but... just like me, im not contented with 353.. so i do more tweaking. good luck and keep us updated. wokie?

looking forward to use this one.. haha. funny.

ohh thanks for opening that idea.. i hope it will work.. you can actually make a more thorough guide on how to do it. people would surely appreciate that.. not to sound rude, but in my case using proxy is actually not a good idea, aside from the fact that theres no such thing as FREE fast proxy server. you usually get ad-flooded host with limited functionality. such as no java, no php, and stuff.. and travel time usually is lengthen in that sense.. refer to the diagram. also using proxy is actually not that secure especially if you are into buying stuff online. you need to input credit card details and stuff. using proxy basically send this data to a 3rd party server which is actually the proxy server, and if the proxy server is into something illegal then it wont be far that they will be using it... with regards to opening port, since SMARTBRO is a WAN type of network. you cannot open a particular port in your PC.. even if you open a particular port in your pc it wont work unless its opened first in the WAN SERVER.. actually the AP can be considered as a BIG ROUTER. and i know you are aware that if you want to open a port in a particular network you have to open it first in the router before you do it in your PC... bottom line.. SMARTBRO does not support "opening of port" and proxy server is actually not a good idea unless you get a paid proxy server.. but even though its paid consider the travel time of a particular data. refer below:

don't lose hope. try the tweaking guide... and post your result after.

you don't need to go to portal.smartbro.net in order to change the color code. this procedure is being done through your canopy page.. you can actually change it by accessing the web based interface of your canopy. regarding the color code this happens when you are changing the color code that is located from another SITE.. i visited last week the cell site of SMART which has APs installed. one cell site can have several AP's. Each AP's has different color codes.. if you choose a different color code belonging in one cluster of AP then you wont be sent to the protal.smartbro.net or to the new bro-portal.smartbro.net. you can just restart and browse immediately. but in cases on where you change a color code belonging to another cell site, then thats the time you will be redirected.. to further explain better.. here is a scenario JOHN is a new subscriber, during the installation of the smartbro package in his home he is pointed to Cell Site A (CS-A). CS-A has 6 Access Points.. AP 111, AP 222, AP 333, AP 444, AP 555, AP 666 (111, 222, etc are color codes) they are clustered in a sense that i can make a radial coverage. N-NE-E-SE-SW-W-NW (north, north east, east etc.) (that's why during AP Evaluation you can see several results with varying Jitter and RSSI, APs with higher RSSI and Low Jitter usually are the one that is facing in your direction. and the rest who has a High Jitter and Low RSSI are actually the APs that are faced in other directions. During Johns installation, the technician pointed the canopy to the AP with the color code 111. But John was having a problem with the internet connection so he visited TMN and found ways on how to TWEAK smartbro.. he stumbled upon a thread that tells him to change the color code.. John successfully accessed the canopy page and changed his color code from 111 to 222. Remember that this color codes belong to one cluster and its located in Cell SITE A.. so normally John wont be prompted with a portal.smartbro.net splash screen. instead once he reseted his IP configuration to automatic (to default) he can obviously just go browsing the net... but in a case on where JOHN changed the color code to AP 777 which belongs to Cell SIte B then thats the time he needs to authenticate through the portal.smarbro.net or bro-portal.smartbro.net and have to call the Customer service hotline in order to have hs connection reset. cause usually the system will actually detect a new setting.... as of the moment the bro-portal.smartbro.net is not working well, so you might as well think twice before doing so, coz i actually just did this and it took them weeks to get me browsing the net since bro-portal.smartbro.net is their new portal and its still in beta... so good luck to all the tweakers...

welcome to the forum arrows_one.. if you are referring to the canopy software update you actually don't need any proxy configuration. just go on with the step by step guide provided by extreme fusion. welcome

haha.. actually, im serious.... not.... anyways. we all are part of the technical team. share what you have and we will share ours.. have a nice day!

okay latest addition is frostbound..
