How To Tweak Smart BRO WiFi


elijahpaul

Recommended Posts

Yep, Jun101 is right.. and the stinger i think is usually made of aluminum sheets... 

Don't u have any relatives who are engineers? If u have, u should ask them too... And one thing about the "limited or no connectivity" thing.. This thing happened to me quite a lot of times and lasts usually from 2-7 days or sometimes even 2 weeks!!.. Based on my experience, this happens to my connection everytime the smart bro employees update or maintain their stupid base station... Did their customer care tell u that they're undergoing maintenance?...

I can tell u that our smart bro base station here in zambo is quite primitive compared to other cities.. Its like being cavemen..lol..

RSSI (stands for Radio Signal Strength Indicator) and Jitter are two most important parameters in a microwave link for motorola canopy SM and the base station.

RSSI - indicates the power received by your antenna.

Jitter can be thought as noise in a transmission. The lesser the value the better.

The installer / smartbro field technician will need to test the values for Jitter and RSSI, to determine if the link is good or poor. Minimum values for a good link for RSSI = 500 or above and for jitter = 4. jitter above  4 may result to intermittent connection.

nbamaniac i can  send you some css settings that might work for you. but i still suggest you do some house cleaning on your pc first. ie apps that will keep your pc clean. cleaner system produces cleaner and higher througput. it helped them those who i helped before and i suggest you take time on it.

@nbamaniac - i psoke with a TSR just a few minutes ago. the agent said that there's no "technical activity" <--  :idiot2: 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,.  :undecided: Sheesh!..

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.  :grin:

I dont have any alternatives that's why I cant move to a different ISP.

so much for being a loyal customer. sheesh.!

Drizzt1911, seems like ur still with the wifi plan 988 package.. just bear with them... patience, I think... That's what I did..hehe.. :uglystupid2:

gourame, i'm usually doing those clean-ups quite frequently... Clearing internet caches and all other stuff (Anti-spyware, antivirus, trojan and worm killers, etc.)... I think my system is clean... Well, that's my opinion... :smiley: Can the ping really be lowered down??... :undecided:

@drizzt1911 It's on your antenna parameters has the problem, that's the implication of having RSSI of less than 500 and a high jitter value. I strongly suggest to place a Stinger on your antenna to boost your RSSI above 500. Your  microwave link is very poor that's why unreliable (fluctuating download speed).

@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.

@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.  :cry:

drizzt1911... It could be between these conditions... 1.) Those stupid installers don't know how to properly set up an antenna OR 2.) The "fast and reliable" SmartBro is having some "technical issues" right now...

Solution: Either way, u should try to move ur house to 1 meter away from the base station... :idiot2:

@drizzt1911

nbamaniac is correct, maybe the untrained installer don't properly orient your antenna to the nearest base station that's why your reception is quite poor. if u can access ur canopy platform try switching to other access points with higher value of RSSI.
