before when the fieldman sets our connection I saw them accessing canopy but I dont know if they locked it or not. I never tried accessing my canopy in my old cpu before and i tried the steps above but when i try to go to 169.254.1.1 i says page cannot displayed. I am a new subscriber of smartbro since last april,2007 and I'm 75% sure that were using canopy lite. you see my connection? above its too slow ohh! I think theres a new steps in accessing my canopy? coz I think the steps above was for older canopy's? ryt? please help I want to tweak my canopy too bcoz I've tried calling customer service and they were useless and cannot call tech support to go here bcoz the problem must be valid, they said my connection was ok and also the basestation and when they try to ping in my pc there was no lost all 0% loss but I have poor connection. I does not reach 7x faster than dial up pls. help

we have the same advertised speed Riean smartbro in my area didnt upgrade their homebase aswell. so how was it? is there a difference? i bet you haven't tweaked it yet via registry like cablenut. as far as i know i only got the speed i wanted when i used the cablenut and that setting on my canopy. feel free to look up to other guides and you might try other approach to it.

that speed is OK since smartbro is 384. i tried tweaking mine but no use.... i still get the same speed.

the base station is where you get your signal. umm, i am not exactly sure how they upgrade it but in my recent experience, when they upgraded the base station, my internet speed went really down. i guessed it was an updeate because the people in the other forums that smartbro is upgrading, and my internet speed really did went up after i got the connection problems. by the way, i experienced that problem for 5 days, i think, but now, internet speed is way up compared to before!

My location right now is in Davao City, I've noticed that majority of SmartBRO's subscriber here didn't really have problem with their connection. I think the least connection we got here so far are around 256kbps while others have topped it up to 512kbps.

What is your location? m in zamboanga (i think smartbro in my area has not been upgraded yet or still upgrading.. wah! i have very low speeds!!!)

I guess I won't need to do this tweakings for now. You can say that I'm one of the lucky few who rarely experience SmartBRO's kapalpakan. Currently accessing my canopy and so far, my RSSI is 1118, Power Level is -51 and Jitter is 1. My connection the whole day stays at 512kbps and could download almost 3GB worth of data in just 20 hours. Too bad that SmartBRO could not give this same services to all of their subscribers.

@d_freecs plz help me what im supposed to do my connection is very slow i am smartbro user btw,this is my speed

wtf!!! this is my connection speed i am smartbro user omg is this 7x faster than dial-up hahahaha pls help me what im supposed to do

Hello all SMARTBRO users! I have been with this ISP for almost 2 years now and like the most people, I've experienced alot of downtimes, bad speeds, customer service, etc. I've almost given up totally with this ISP until recently, I've learned that they have been upgrading. Before, My download speeds would range from 5-7kb/s Now that sucks. Thats just almost like dial-up or maybe dial-up is even better. Anyway, base station I am currently using has been upgraded:

i have a smartbro but i have a problem how to login the canopy, i now they have authorized person to login the canopy, but i 1 2 how to login a userID and password can u help me guys, im so mad really in this situation. this is my e-mail @ [email protected]

I have a question for those who have fast connection speeds. How much free hard disk space do you have? I called SmartBro customer care again and they told me that my slow connection could be due to my low hard disk space (14 GB). I just want to confirm this before I buy additional memory/HDD. Thanks!

from DAVAO. hi im newbie here. I'm not a SmartBro subscriber but wondering why u got SLOW speed unlike from Davao Smartbro subscriber? Mostly they avg. 500kbps plus. FYI, nag upgrade ang SmartBro to 512kb/s from 384. Same with ur area b? look here: http://www.davaosale.com/main7895157/viewtopic.php?t=42482 not sure kung pwede direct link or u must register first. its on GENERAL CHAT. .then SPEEDTEST W/ SMARTBRO. but infairness ang GALING S TWEAKING. pwede p kaya rin d2 s amin? mas LALAKAS.

Not possible for port forwarding.. smartbro is using non-routable address. 192.168.x.x... If you want to access your home web server.. you need to install ipv6 and tunnel broker... you will be given a free ipv6 address. http://go6.net

hi d_freecs that is not too bad for smartbro u use the canopy antenna ?

Hi everyone! Here's my SmartBro stats... tweaked the canopy a bit and I got this... Download Speed Test Results "Not the fastest broadband, but it's broadband... Your connection scored 1.5/5 stars."

Anybody got any ideas what's the DSL protocol of SmartBRO? PPOE? PPOA? PPTP?

how will i able to apply OpenDNS servers? I am currenlty using SmartBro -its is a wireless broadband here in the philippines and using canopy lite(motorola).. how will i configure them?

kaffee Welcome to the forum/thread :welcome: kaffee, you what i recognized your username...yup your a fellow PhilMUG'er!!! small word ha!! I also use "overboost" as my username at PhilMUG. here's a solution to your mac problem (hope that this works): I'm using windows xp laptop inside my room and my kids have an iMac 350 with theirs. You are right the step-by-step procedures provided by elijahpaul is for windows only but there is a backdoor. First, connect a windows computer to your SmartBro connection (you need your username and password that was provided to you by SmartBro). Second, yup you now can tweak your canopy settings using the windows pc (follow elijahpaul's procedure). Third, after the tweak test your speed (of course use TMN speed test), if you get a download speed of 350 to 385kbps then your on the right track. I recommend that you test your speed by using the large file. Fourth, disconnect your pc then re-connect your Mac to the SmartBro line. Fifth, test your speed again using your Mac and you will get the same speed with the pc. I know because I tried it with my kids iMac and I'm getting the same speeds with the two computers. The Canopy Software (I think) settings/configuration are not saved in your computer but only thru SmartBro's network. Thanks!!

Having gone through threads 1-11, I am posting this now, a SmartBro subscriber since Dec06, from Fairview, Quezon City, PHI. My speedtest below should tell you I am green with envy at having to bear with an average of 204-240kbps (D/L) where most of those who have benefitted from tweaks have boosted theirs to as high as 400kbps. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 240 Kbps about 0.24 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 29 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 250 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Upload Speed is:: 31 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/02/24 - 10:40pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ANVW0KCEP U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-NJ9SUBG8R User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 [!] I have tried elijhpaul's tweak page for Canopy. Unfortunately, I think the step-by-step, as well as other softwares like cFOsSpeed, are for PC (I am on a Mac laptop). May I request help for Mac settings please? I can't see my Canopy software anywhere (Yes, the antennae is a Motorola). Btw, I do have to say that one of the advantages of being on SmartBro is that the signal stayed on after the devastating Taiwan quake in January07 when most cabled/wired providers were totally down, save for a few moments of lag as a result of sites being accessed which were affected by the quake, and not because of the server being down at all. The only other time we lost signal was for a few hours in early Feb07 when the base station to which our antennae was pointing was down. However, SmartBro's customer service leaves much to be desired (it has become quote legendary). Thank you for TMN, overboost and for fellow Pinoys who started and maintained the thread. Isn't it nice to show the world that we have such service no matter how erratic? Cheers!

HELP how can i speed up my connection to smartbro, grabeh npka terrible, thanks in advance poh.. and how to open Motorola Canopy Configurations.. thanks pow
