SmartBro Router

Do you need help with your SmartBro connection, Globe visibility or PLDT DSL, you can post your comments and I'm more than glad to help.

I can provide you with screenshots and how to install your router, wireless router with encryption. Did you know that if you install your wireless router using the default settings of your router, other wireless device like laptops and WLAN enabled cellular phones, IPODs can connect to your router and share your Internet connection? Fear not, I will guide you on how to prevent this happening to you.

Post your questions here, so I can answer them directly.

Sorry for the delay.. Vacation kasi. hehehe...

Depende sa Smart Bro mo, kung Plan 999 no problem kahit ano OS mo pwede kahit Vista. pero kung Plan 799 or Smart Bro prepaid update mo Vista mo to Service Pack 1 or higher.

Hope this will help.

Hi Cuteme!

Sorry for the late reply, busy lang po. :)

Kung gamit mo wireless router, you should check the ff:
1. The smart bro connection dapat naka connect sa WLAN or INTERNET port sa likod ng router.
2. Kaylangan mo rin i-connect laptop or desktop using wireless LAN card.

Usually auto-detect setting ng mga router so kapag properly connected ang smart bro sa likod ng router mo (WLAN or INTERNET port) ok na! madali nalang mag-connect sa wireless LAN.

* when using a switch you will always be prompted with the smart portal website. kaylangan mo gumamit ng Internet connection sharing (ICS) built-in into sa windows.

kapag router kasi gamit mo sya na bahala mag-share ng connection, kapag switch naman kaylangan pa na yung isang pc mo maging server sa lahat ng naka connect using ICS.

Hopes this helps! (m_m)

You may want to check yung DHCP settings ng router. It should be set to obtain ip address automatically.
If that still doesn't work. you may want to set static DNS. FYI you may also us Open DNS para mabilis.

Routers have no compativility problem with what ever ISP. As long as may IP address ka. Wifi Lan Card pwede wireless router mo kahit anong brand. (m_m)

connection: smartbro 999
2 pcs: xp and vista home
router: dlink (not wifi) with printer port

connected ang smartbro sa LAN1... yung lan cables ng 2 pc, sa LAN2 and LAN3 ports. Gumana before, nakakapagnet kami ng sabay. pero once na nglogin logout, balik sa umpisa. lumalabas po yung portal site ng smart para enter ulit ung account details. paulit ulit po on both pcs...

both pcs naka-auto detect ng ip at dns since un nmn po tlga settings n bngay ng smart...

may WAN port po sa router.

ano po ba kelangan namin gawin? it's a pain in the ass na po na we have to on/off ung switch ng router then enter yung account details sa smartbro portal site...

thank you in advance po! have a blessed christmas! =)
