hey guys, i have a question, my connection is upgraded to WR512. but my speed is always 400-500, i cant reach the 600 mark. i tried CB's 20 steps but still up to 400-500 only. what else can i do?

That speed is cool enough Remember it's 512   and CIR is still 100 kbits/s. MIR is 512kbits/s.  Be thankful you get that speed  

when I access my portal is always say that "Error detected.. Timeout in getting SID. Please try again.

If this error shows again, please call tech support." anyone pls explain what is this??

That's actually a glitch in their system.  What are you trying to do with the portal?  Were you able to browse the web before going to the portal? Or it redirects you when you try to access any website?  If it redirects you, open a command prompt window and type ping -t google.com.  If you get Request Timed Out then it means your session isn't authenticated with Smart Bro yet but you get otherwise then the Error in Getting SID is just fine.

and to think your a foreigner!

Jeez, you must have use your "charismatic" power... hehehe

Actually, one of my cousin works for the BPO (ePLDT Ventus) who handles Smart Bro but she's part of another client.  So fortunate she knows people from the Smart Bro team. hehehe

Hello everyone!  New to the forum.

I came about this forum just yesterday while accessing portal.smartbro.net trying to figure out how I could at least make my connection real steady.  I too have been upgraded into a WR512 and I think it will stay on this package as my account shows this is active till my next billing period.

From there, found a tweak and tried Coolbuster?s steps to optimize my smartbro?s connection.  Tested the download and upload speed and yeah it transitioned into twice my original speed, so great!  I tried downloading from my client's DL/UL software and it saves me more than an hour to download all my files, wow!

Okay, point taken?If I split my broadband?s speed for two machines like adding another desktop or laptop perhaps through a router, will it affect the internet speed again if I run the two machines at the same time?  Any remedies for this, anyone?  Thanks much!

Definitely Yes.  Even in one machine, (I don't know if this happens to others) try to download 2 files from 2 different sites. The bandwidth will be divided into 2. Like I said, I don't know if this is true to all.

Sharing your connection to 2 machines will definitely affect the speed.

can you post on how to do it?

some formula and materials that i need to make it.

Thanks in advance

You need to buy a reflector or use an old satellite dish.  The ideal one is an old direcTV dish.  I don't know if there's DirecTV here in the PI but any satellite dish will do   You can search Canopy in wikipedia and it will return a result with a picture of a backhaul attached to a reflector.

Smart Bro PlugIt uses HSDPA.  It will act like GPRS modem if there's no 3G/HSDPA signal on your area

Actually using a cellphone (Any 3G Phone) to connect to the internet is much faster than smart bro hehehehe...

who are they?? why do you know them?

I have my resources

Hi Buntz and Derek22x tnx for your help. we owe you!! the help that you made to us! THANKS AGAIN

To tdawnaz tnx for welcoming me in the forum tnx to the people who accept me!!

let help each other to help the other member!!

you cool guys!

Thanks   glad to be of help. 

hi i would like to ask about the signal of smartbro.. there is a way to extend our signal by putting external antenna into it?

does signal change the speed of smartbro connection? t

:smiley:Thanks

At some point, it may affect the speed.

To increase the signal, you may want to put a parabolic reflector to your SM

i cant even open my canopy site coz i cant connect to the internet

Have you searched the forum on how to access your Canopy webpage?

Go to Control Panel

Click Network Connections

Right Click on your Ethernet Adapter

Click Properties

Double Click TCP/IP

Use: 169.254.1.5 as your IP

Subnet: 255.255.0.0

Then OK

Try to access 169.254.1.1

If you are on Class A IP (10.xxx.xxx.xxx) then follow same procedure but use 10.20.30.40 as IP and 255.0.0.0 as Subnet Mask.

Then access your Canopy by its IP (10.xxx.xxx.xxx).

If you don't know the IP, go to Command Prompt and type arp -a.  You should see your canopy IP.  If not, your antenna must have been configured to use DHCP.  You need to reset it using a default plug.

***TIP: to prevent Smart from accessing your antenna in the future, change SNMP Read/Write permission to Read Only and make sure you create a password for users root and admin.***

how could i change the setting of my canopy to 10/mb duplex again pls help help

Go to Configuration - GENERAL

Uncheck:

100 Base T Half Duplex

100 Base T Full Duplex

Check:

10 Base T

help.... i have a unstable connection since feb.11 up to now. i found out that the jitter and rssi drop to zero and after a few minutes its return to normal again.what can do anyone pls...

I guess it's with the access point.  Call smart and ask what's going on.  I suggest you look for their Operations Manager "Bing Silverio" - he's a guy, ok? hehe

If the OM is not around look for any of the following supervisors:

Olive DeLos Santos - 7am - 4pm PHT

Iaw Mendez

Sarah Sarahani

Nanette Garlando - 9pm - 6am

im so glad that my speed reached to 600kbp/s.. question, how to maintain this speed? thanks

Have you tried about 10 consecutive speed tests? Just check for consistency once in a while.

will you still help us here in tmn? in smart bro page?

Of course WiMan uses the same technology in the US

tnx for the info I'm now at 8.2.2 SM DES anything I need to change?

Cool   I guess none...updating the software won't make your connection fast   At least you were able to update

i set my proxy configuration to manual and set it to proxy.smartbro.net  port 8080 and proxy.smartwifi.com.ph   port:8080 i dunno if this config. help me to have a 520Kbps..oh maybe its a luck like u said hehe..

That's because you're pulling information from a proxy. That's already cached data.  It will really show a bit of improvement.. that's that's unreal Proxies are deceiving LOL

and i got 62kB/sec when im downloading a program before only 30-42kB/sec..

There are APs that are already upgraded to 512Kbps.  Maybe you're lucky enough to have Smart upgrade your AP. Cheers!

i have a problem sir, i go to run, the type the "cmd" but aftr i press enter it says that "cmd is not a valid win32 application" what should i do now? is there any other way sir? huhuhu

You can use putty telnet client.

http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/puttytel.exe

Download that and no need for windows command prompt

Hi, quick question how come when I put in the CNUT Network updater it gives me AP instead of SM-DES?

When you add a network element there's a dropdown menu where you can choose the type of element you are adding   You have to choose Subscriber Module(SM) instead of AP

Well I won't bother figuring out how to make this thing work anymore. I am leaving the country on the 5th of March and I don't think will be back in a couple of years or so.

It's great experiencing Smart Bro here in the Philippines hehehehe

It's with the Licensing @CB.  It doesn't matter if the server is connected to an SM or AP. I finally figured out why I am getting "SERVER IS DOWN".  The licensing server (FlexNET) isn't working

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::

Download Connection is:: 395 Kbps about 0.4 Mbps (tested with 386 kB)

Download Speed is:: 48 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Main)

Bottom Line:: 7X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 21.33 sec

Tested from a 386 kB file and took 8 seconds to complete

Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 33 % faster than the average for host (smartbro.net)

do you think is this enough?

is that so tnx!  btw  im sorry for not searching...

Your speed is pretty fine. You're one of the lucky ones who get the advertised speed  

Hi guys, help naman, i need a tweaks in cablenut, i want my connection fast, is there anybody out there? please please PM me

What speed do you currently get?

Yeah, it's kinda resource hog.  But I guess you can try

hi I'm new here can i ask on how to tweak the canopy lite and how to change color code?

my rssi 1000

jiter 4

power 55dbm

is this enough tnx

There are existing posts here regarding that.  Please search the forum.

Looks like your connection parameters are fine. (except for Jitter, a bit high but still tolerable).

Changing color code doesn't always work.  If your profile is not roaming, when you change color code your account will be temporarily deactivated. (But will work on the old color code).

You have to call Smart Bro and request for rehoming if needed.

How's your speed by the way? Can you post a speedtest result here?

BTW, to TMN!
