@jun101ph - what are the criterias that i'll be looking on the AP list for a good connection?? just the Highest RSSI and the lowest Jitter? or are there any other things that I should be lookin at?

well. I did find a better color, thanks to you guys! , i thinkg my connection is getting better, but the speed gotten really on the downhill.. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 113 Kbps about 0.11 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 14 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 240 Kbps about 0.2 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Upload Speed is:: 29 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/06/18 - 3:34am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-TPWRJ9L67 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-8V1RE25CJ User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4 [!] . when I rebooted the canopy, it automatically redirected me to the portal, and asked if its ok to change the settings?? would this be "legal" im not going to get in trouble with smart for changing something would i? hehehe.

@jun101ph can you give me instructions on how to change Access points on the canopy settings?? I have access, just doesnt know how to.. A little nudge on the correct path would do miracles.! thanks!

I have an access to my canopy!! now I dont know how to switch it to a different access points I see many AP with lower jitter and High RSSI. Those Damn Installers. I think they didnt orient it correctly.

@jun101ph - yeah you maybe right. can I adjust some settings on the canopy to atleast make it compromize for the lack of unreliable signal?? or is the stinger my only and best option?? I dont have any engineer relatives, hehehe. most of our clan is on medicine. But I'm with computers. but not the techkie type.tho.

@gurame. No its only a single PC connection. the canopy is directly connected to this PC. no firewall except the windows one which is (and will always be) turned off. my AV is called AVG anti-virus. No other apps as of the moment that is running. i have already / defragged / scandisked / registry cleaned / and even deleted and uninstalled files. / I know my connection can still be higher. but as of now, the most pressing matter is my intermittent connectivity / which is making me frustrated and very angry at smartbro.

another question... where can I find on the https://portal.smartbro.net/ my current plan if my base station has been upgraded or not?? is it on the transaction history? Coz if it is! I'm still getting the package name of WF988 I'm one of those subscribers waaaaaay before when they were still smart wifi. I dont have any alternatives that's why I cant move to a different ISP. so much for being a loyal customer. sheesh.!

well, Im also satisfied with mine. when I tweaked it, just this morning. from. Your connection is: 203 Kbps or 0.2 Mbps You downloaded at: 25 kB/s You are running: 4 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 40.96 second(s) Member Ident: CompID:1869593287287 Test Time:: 2007/06/17 - 6:41pm Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4 Test ID: VMX21UYDR (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 87.5 % of your hosts average (196.234) This was tested from a 386 kB file and took 15.553 seconds to complete after several hours of tweaking and trial and error. here's my current speed. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 358 Kbps about 0.36 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Download Speed is:: 44 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 107 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Upload Speed is:: 13 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 2) Test Time:: 2007/06/18 - 1:30am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-BU4FVZ5RY U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-X6TWYIOJZ User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4 [!] but on speedtest.net / its a different matter. @nbamaniac - i psoke with a TSR just a few minutes ago. the agent said that there's no "technical activity" <-- goin on as of the moment, with my basestation. but i still keep on getting intermittent connection. just so happnes that i rebooted the computer that's why I can reply here,. Sheesh!..

@jun101ph. - Yeah, I am already thinking about the stinger. only problem is that, I don't know how to do it. nor knows anyone who can.. I'm already looking for someone who can fabricate. but up to now. still no luck. Is it all aluminum? I'm no engineer. Any suggestions on which I can request this to be made? at a hardware store?

I have an access to the canopy settings and checked the Jitter and RSSI its Jitter: 5 usually climbing higher. all time high is 12 and the RSSI: is just at the range of 250 to 300. anyway on the canopy to change this??

Hello Peeps.. I'm from Cainta Rizal and I've been lurking in this forum for quite some time now. silently trying tweaks that has been offered and suggested. and it really does work!. I'd like to say a great thanks to Gourame for those info, well actually to all of you who make this thread since all have contributed in making the smart bro/ken little bearable. But the most gut wrenching problem I have now is not the speed but the connectivity itself. it keeps on getting "limited or no connectivity" I have to IP release and /renew and/or disable or enable the local area connection, for it just to work. more weird part is. it usually connects. but the only activity I see on the LAN is on the SENT but no activity on th received. I'm not really sure what my problem is. / I have already replaced my LAN card. / installed a new OS (winxp sp2) firewall is always off. / AV is set to just monitor (AVG anti-vir) I have already called at least several dozen times to the no good technical support of smart bro / and they always tell the same frigging technical questions and procedures. Now I'm breaking my silence.... I need your opinions and suggestions on this. Please help. you guys are more reliable that the CSR and TSR of smart bro. (they're useless) since its a call center, Well from what I heard, the salary for those agents are also sub standards for a CC. then we the subscribers doesn't really benefit from it.( most likely they're taking it out on us.)
