SmartBro Canopy Software Update, How to? (w/ screenshots)

[derek22x]

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

[derek22x]

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

[coolbuster2007]

here's to make it more significant. usually when an update is available, it contains improvements in the program interface and bug fixes as well

thyanks again guys for the info, one question...I'm trying to connect my Xbox360 to Smartbro for Xbox Live (i already have an account) don't have a router, I tried installing another LAN card in my PC instead changed the MAC of the expansion LAN Card to spoof that of my integrated LAN (mobo) I guess everything should work but it doesn't, anybody here know why??? dunno if i should post this as a new topic anyway, I'm thinking will enabling NAT for my canopy work for me or should i just forget about this idea. Thanks in advance.

[Guest ExtremeFusion]

Forget about the NAT... it won't work..

oh, and about the xbox live, dunno about it.. since i don't have an xbox game console..

[derek22x]

It won't work for X-box Live.  I already tried it.  Even on PS3 I can't use it.  Smart Bro's designed for simple surfing, chatting, research.  Basically the basic internet commodities a HighSchool student needs.

[Jetzone2k8]

actually it can work with xbox live if you directly connect the rj45 link from the antenna to the rj45 link of x360 then change the MAC address of the xbox to exactly the same as your pc and host name from ipconfig, it works, i tried it i just want to try ICS if it works with the same principle (the second LAN acting as router )

[derek22x]

Well, it may or may not but using it directly out of the box won't give you anything

[Jetzone2k8]

I agree, it's just that it's tiring to keep on unplugging it from the PC to connect the antenna to the xbox if i want to play xbox live am financially embarrased as of the moment so a router is out of the question, will Internet Connection Sharing work for me? BTW I manually configured my IP from one of the posts here in TMN, if I change the last octet of the IP address of my Xbox d'ya think it'll work (sort of an ad-hoc connection)

Trying won't hurt you Just try until you succeed and if you fail, look for a work around

HI Guys,

Im new to smartbro, im just having some problems on my connection. Please see the list below:

- IM getting 398/331 bandwidth, but my browsing is kinda slow, e.g. YAHOO, MSN, and to our office sites and applications.

-  When i'm trying to go to video streaming sites, the video is not loading accordingly, it took 10 mins to load a 1 minute clip.

-  Im trying to update my canopy firmware, but im getting this error message:

i followed exactly what the instructions told me to but i got this error,and i cancelled the update process because it took so long to transfer boot.image to the sm.my canopy software was never updated,but still it's working properly despite the failed update process.can you help me  how to update it properly?

btw my gateway ip adress on canopy is 169.254.0.0, and i changed it to 169.254.3.3..nothing happened..may i ask what's the difference?

and lastly can i change Sustained Uplink Data Rate : from 500 kbps to max 1000kbps? thanks for helping.

p.s. : sorry for the large images..i can edit if it annoys you

make sure you don't have a corrupted image file.

btw my gateway ip adress on canopy is 169.254.0.0, and i changed it to 169.254.3.3..nothing happened..may i ask what's the difference?

the change will take effect after canopy reboot. however, i suggest you do not to do that again.

and lastly can i change Sustained Uplink Data Rate : from 500 Kbps to max 1000Kbps? thanks for helping.

if you have a 7Mbps aggregate yes. but if only 1Mbps, you will have to sacrifice your sustained download data rate. the TOTAL aggregate should be less than (<) or equal to (=) 1000Kbps (or 1Mbps).

others do it like 400Kbps for upload, 600Kbps for download, for a TOTAL aggregate of 1000kbps.

[EngrJayze]

i'm sure i don't have a corrupted .pkg2 file..from the threadstarter's post i can see that under STATE it have REFRESHED, meanwhile mine says SNMP HAS NO RESPONSE..

btw how on earth do you have a 7mbps aggregate?..i use 500kbps for download and upload..could i change download to 800 while upload to 200kbps bec. i don't do a lot of uploading anyways...

and can you share any other canopy configs?...

thanks CB

we're still working on that, we need to use PRIZM in order to do that, and prizm can be downloaded for free... try it and see what problems you encountered. my pc is too slow to do the prizm thing..

[EngrJayze]

aic..but i'll leave the job to the master tweakers on this site..i'll just wait for the results  :haha: :haha:

[coolbuster2007]

yes.

no other configs. tip: my pole is 35 feet high. improves rssi a lot.

no wonder... you have service all to yourself.

[EngrJayze]

hope i have that kind of rssi level..and you are the only one using smartbro in your area..how lucky

mine is 800+ and 10 users, i guess it's sufficient...

look at my index 1, there are 24 users.. 

[coolbuster2007]

at first, the installer placed me at color code 36. i accessed my canopy sm and transferred to 31 and added a 15 feet-high pole.

i found out that the usercount increases to a maximum of 3 during weekends. i texted the installer to place those other 2 to color code 36 so i can have that ap with no competition.
