hello guys, here's the specification: just take a look at my drawing (sorry di ako mechanical engineer paxenxahan nyo ang drawing ko.hehe)

A Stinger is a passive antenna which increases the RSSI level at the same time decreases jitter value received by your motorola canopy subscriber module( the antenna). You gonna need this if your RSSI value of your antenna is below 500, since the typical value for RSSI for a reliable link from subscriber module to the base station is 500. Below 500 the link will is no longer reliable and usually the leads to intermittent internet connection ( jitter is quite high). The Stinger narrows the Beamwidth of the microwave signal entering and leaving from your motorola canopy (antenna). Therefore It concentrates more power received by your antenna( Beamwidth has nothing to do with the Bandwidth). In my case, I am 2 km away from the base station. The value of Radio Signal Strength Indicator ( RSSI) is only 360, but when I added this Stinger to the antenna, the RSSI value is increased to 500 to 600+ ( based in my observation an increase of 50 % in RSSI) I attached a photo of my home made Stinger. It cost me only 200 pesos. It's made of aluminum plane sheet. You can read more information about the Stinger for motorola canopy at http://www.wbmfg.com/Stinger . :::..

Hello Overboost, We have a similar problem before. My upload is 3x faster than my download. What I did was I reported thru email with a snapshot of bandwidth test to the SMARTBRO CSR. Then they sent a field technician to check for my antenna. They found no problem with my antenna settings, right away I emailed back to the CSR and informing them that no problem was found in my antenna. I suspected since before that it was on their Bandwidth that has the problem, for sure it is controlled by them. So the following day, I was amazed that my speed result improved to 400+ kbps mark.

I suggest if your RSSI is below 500 (just like mine), and even you orient the antenna in different positions and still RSSI is below 500, you can increase it by adding a passive antenna (also known as Stinger) on your motorola canopy subscriber module. This will increase the effective area of your motorola canopy antenna and will capture more power (resulting in an increase of RSSI). You can make your own Stinger too if you want. In equation, Power (RSSI) = Power Density X Effective Area Low RSSI level affects your antenna's upload and download efficiency. This will also result to high jitter value. High jitter value will cause intermittent connection.

I would like to add something. The problem is not really on your antenna or your PC, the problem is on the BANDWIDTH from the smartbro basestation which is controlled by them. So no matter how you tweak your PC or antenna if the bandwidth is quite small, you can't significantly increase your upload or download rate. Bandwidth is directly proportional to Line Speed...

Hello, I have been experiencing intermittent connection and slow download rate and a very high upload rate before. ( dwnload = 120 kbps / upload = 350 kbps) This is my tip: The best thing you can do to improve your download rate is to keep on complaining this to CSR thru email. Attach a snapshot of your bandwidth test. Don't stop bugging them to correct your problem until they will send you a field technician for checking. Once the technician diagnosed that it's not on your antenna has problem, you must email right away to the CSR informed them that you've been visited by their field technician. Demand to them that you want an immediate improvement of your bandwidth as soon as possible. Look at my Speedtest now it's much higher than before. :::..
