SmartBro Tips Ahoy #1

If you are using Smartbro Motorola Canopy (Smartbro is a product/internet service of Smart Wireless Inc in the Philippines) and you wanted to share it to a home network through a wired/wireless router you may want to clone the MAC address of the PC where your Canopy is originally connected or setup. Why? because it will prevent your Smartbro connection from asking the service number and the account number over and over again.

SmartBro Chronicles 2: Dark of the Canopy

Like I said on my previous post I will tell you how to change some settings in your Motorola Canopy that might benefit you in some ways. On my previous SmartBro post, I showed you how to access your canopy, now I'm gonna tell you how to change your AP or Access Point in your Base Station.
In this page,

to get this page Tool>AP Evaluation

you will see that I am currently connected to AP Index 0 (shown at the top left corner). Now, there should be two buttons below this page, it should say, Rescan AP, hit that, and it show you all AP that your canopy can detect in your range. If you will notice, there are several AP in a base station, mine can detect 4 Indexes -- Index 0 to 3. Now the most important thing is you must know in changing your base station is:

1. Jitter
2. SectorUserCount

The less value of Jitter and SectorUserCount is much better

to get this page Tools>Alignment Tool

If you found the best AP for you, find the Color Code (e.g. Color Code: 180)

Go to Configuration>Radio tab. Now change your current Color Code inside the box.Hit the  Save Changes and Reboot button.

After Reboot, go back to the homepage, see your Session Status and it should say Registered.
If you have question about this steps, just put it in the comment page.
