If you quit one day early you stioll have to pay an entire years worth of usage? Gotta be kidding. And they can legally do this? They'd have to bite me first.

hahaha smartbro will not charge me if i will decide to cut my connection. 

No software tweaks 

SMBRO -- 384 kbps bursting speed,  WR512 --- bursting speed of 512 kbps... If you can access your account @  the portal.smartbro.net,  it's there indicated.

@pancake great speed. did u tweak that already with 20 steps to speedup smartbro right?  clearly it works.hehe

@swimmer

I just want to addon

Quote from a reading in a website, this is the link: http://www.silicon-press.com/briefs/brief.80211/index.html

"The two variants 802.11a and 802.1b standard are essentially similar. Because they operate in different frequency bands, 802.11a and 802.11b

    * do not interfere with each other, but

    * they are not compatible with each other. "

802.11a  ---- op. freq of  5 GHz  and  802.11b  ----- op. freq of 2.4 GHz. 

2.4 might not but 802.11a will..  Plus on top of that 5GHz has an even shorter range and is really picky about obstructions..  That would be why most if not all long haul wireless is 2.4.

@swimmer thanx for your quick answer,

I just like to share with you this portion  of a reading material and just visit here

http://www.terena.org/events/archive/tnnc/1B/1B3/1B3.html for complete details. 

"The benefits of the system are:  5.7GHz is a new and unused frequency which will not interfere with 2.4GHz, our test show that half-duplex bandwidth for UDP packets of 1500 bytes is approximately 9Mbps for up to 13km, and the equipment cost is a little more than a wireless client using Aironet equipment.  The difficulties are:  5.7GHz does not have the same range as 2.4GHz (increasing frequency means greater signal attenuation over distance), a parabolic antenna is required for distances of more than 2km, and cable length is very limited because of high signal loss with coaxial cabling at 5.7GHz. "

First off 23 meters is not a short distance. Its 75 feet, 1/3 of the distance of just about every router.

That is so wrong its not even funny.... Do you have any idea of how many wireless signals there are around you at any given time? Even if they are not 2.4GHz the will still interfere with the 2.4GHz signal.

You may also have a clear line of sight to the antenna, but that doest mean a clear radio line of sight because every day things around you will create a los in signal. The grass on the ground will even cause interference.

And most people have a neighbor with 2.4GHz and that will also mess with yours

Hello @dlewis

Did you know that SMARTBRO uses motorola canopy lite (as their standard device) operates at 5.7 GHz? Did you know that a device operating at 2.4 GHz band won't interfere with a 5.7 GHz band? Did you know that a signal will only interfere if they are operating at the same band of frequency?  just want to ask for your clarification.

lol 

as i suggested. kindly review any post before you quote it.

did i specify what monitor it is?

here's what i was referring to

http://www.amazon.com/Aiptek-SC1-Wireless-2-4-Monitor/dp/B0001GT30G

and there's a lot more! 

http://www.mommysthinkin.com/mobicam_video_monitor.htm

 

Even if you insist that you mean to that monitor as "radio comm equipment" operating at 2.4 Ghz,  still won't affect / interfere with the motorola antenna / canopy. SMARTBRO  uses motorola canopy lite  operating at 5.7 GHz .

@swimmer

Either way it is almost a meter.. So saying that LOS is all that you need is incorrect..  You still have to calculate for the extra meter circle at the mid point.. 

That is too ideal, but in real sense even a meter allowance for the radius will not matter.

@coolbuster

the PC monitor's operating frequency is not 2.4 GHz... it's operates only at MHz range! :2funny:

@swimmer

In a very short distance (in the case of beldeti, only 23 m distance to the base station with a clear visual line of sight, the  fresnel zone radius is only 0.85 meter.

With that the effect of fresnel zone is not that big deal given that it has a very clear visual line of sight from antenna and the base station will likely to have a clear radio line of sight.

calculation of fresnel zone radius: http://www.terabeam.com/support/calculations/fresnel-zone.php#meters

@Swimmer

right pc monitor radiates EMI, but my point is, buster said that it operates 2.4 GHz  seems to be wrong.

on the next issue, about the LOS, yes have to deal with fresnel zone (ideal case) but for practical purposes a 23 meter distance to the base station fresnel zone will not that big deal.

I just quote for review purposes, btw it's my first time to read that old post. should i be blame him that he wasn't " successful "? beldeti clearly stated "Still no improvement". Can you deny that???

smartbro user?

time to sleep

after re-doing the steps as suggested by coolbuster, here are my new results:

Still no improvement, although my upload's up from the last speedtest.  I'm putting this down to this current downtime, and it's the first time it happened to me. 

Hopefully their service will be back up the soonest -- I'm looking forward to catching up on my online game! 

...and of course my siblings' schoolwork are at stake too

:2funny: Funny to read old post

Being right infront of the smart cellsite (smartbro base station) doesn't assure you of better speed. you might have a clear "visual line of sight". however, this does not mean that you have a clear "radio line of sight.

We need a "radio line of sight." Radio line of sight differs slightly from visual line of sight. Our signal can pass through various types of buildings and obstructions, (depending on your distance from a base station), so you may be able to get service even if you can't see the antenna.

Also there are other factors which affect speed. Viruses, trojans, excessive opening of programs while browsing the internet. So clean your PC before speed testing. Also, remember that its wireless internet which is susceptible to even the most basic device such as a phone, or a monitor that operates at 2.4GHz. The interference usually is not noticeable.

Where did you got your "knowledge" that a computer monitor operates at 2.4 GHz???

Another funny thing is according to him:

" you might have a clear "visual line of sight". however, this does not mean that you have a clear "radio line of sight."

--> If you will say you have clear "visual line of sight" it means no obstructions which simply means you have clear "radio line of sight" ofcourse.

@pancake have u read my private message?

:2funny:Let this forum change its title to 20 INEFFECTIVE STEPS TO MAKE SMARTBRO FASTER :2funny:

<snip>

edit...ENGLISH ONLY...per forum rules

gamay ra

just in case you don't know how to make a default plug yourself, that is where i can be of help. 

That's where the business comes in

@gourame  mura man og pulitiko bay, safe kayo motubag. salamat anway.

I wonder why you really insist that your 20 steps are effective??Lolz, can't really that smartbro is already upgrade huh? :idiot2: :2funny:

can't really believe*
