In a “revision” posted by nemesis on my post – Boosting up the speed of your SmartBRO, his steps are actually correct and effective. So here’s another way to boost your SmartBRO connection.
HONESTLY > forcing IP and DNS doesn’t do the trick, you only do that if the canopy doesn’t give you your IP address and DNS. you also do this if you are having a hard time accessing the page on your canopy
Doing that change in the local network connections IP/TCP properties really doesn’t matter that much
STEP 1:
To find the valid IP on of your PC, go to START > RUN > CMD > type IPCONFIG
take note of your
IP ADDRESS > your IP address provided by the canopy because it acts like your server (it should not start with 169)
SUBNET MASK
DEFAULT GATEWAY > will be the address of the canopy (this can start with 169)
STEP 2: Know how exactly the system works.
EXPLANATION 1: the canopy that you have is really not a a usual modem/router. It actually serves as another “computer” where you “borrow” your connection. like when you go to internet cafe shops, there is a COMPUTER SERVER that if it’s not turned ON, the rest of the computers won’t have connectoin.
STEP 3: Logic
Since the canopy is the SERVER where you BORROW your internet connection, you must make sure that the canopy is connected and is getting a good signal
TIP 2:
Set your CANOPY as high as possible
face the canopy surface where there is a good signal
*=
???how to know if its getting good signal???
ans: tag team, person X adjusts the canopy while person y checks the pc and the config of the canopy
person Y: access default gateway you got using your internet explorer
*once you got the canopy page, go to PDA, scan for new AP’s, if you get as many base station while adjusting the canopy by person X, it means that the canopy is in good spot.
person Y:
QOS, set #s to 200,800,1500,1500
STEP 3:
Save changes
reboot > WAIT FOR 3 MINUTES
STEP 4:
START > RUN > CMD
ipconfig /release, then enter
ipconfig /renew, then enter
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt, then enter
STEP 5:
Shut down pc
turn off canopy by unplugging its power adapter (wait 3 minutes)
power up canopy adapter
turn on pc
test your speed > brace yourself.
