Boosting up your SmartBRO connection – more speed for your broadband internet
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.

Boosting up the speed of your Smart Bro – Broadband internet
There are times that I feel that 386kbps is a little slow for my Smart Bro connection. After 2 weeks of no internet connection at home, finally, Smart Bro is back and is now 512kbps! That’s 126kbps faster than the default 386kbps for your Php999.00 monthly plan. See that? It may be 509kbps only on the Speedtest.net result but it’s only 3kbps short from reaching 512kbps! How did my Smart BRO connection reached 512kbps? Definitely the placement of the antenna being accessible through different Smart Cell Sites. (luckily mine is near 8 cell sites within the range of 0.4km to 2.6km far from my home. But that’s only one factor. It lies beneath the configuration of the canopy. The team yesterday that fixed my connection were so good that they set my connection from the default 386kbps up to 512kbps. (I knew that giving them coffee and sandwiches will make them nicer. LOL) Well of course, how is that possible and you did come here to see how they did it right? Good thing they did not delete the history of my browser and that made me able to access the canopy. How to access the Canopy? 1. Through typing 169.254.1.1 on your browser. What I’m not sure though is if it’s the same for all the Smart BRO connections in the whole Philippines. 2. Go to the Configuration > Quality of Service (QoS) page. 3. Adjust the numbers to what you see on the image above. 4. Reboot / Restart your PC. That hopefully boosted your Smart BRO internet connection. Now, what’s the catch? Of course, there should be at least something about it. The problem is, you should not touch anything else or you might ruin the configuration of your Smart BRO internet connection. So if you want to be sure, don’t touch your Canopy configuration at all. Leave it to the experts. Kids! Do not try this at home! But if you really want to boost your internet connection try this. Just don’t touch anything else.
