Accessing Smart Bro Portal on my laptop

I was with Ajay all evening last night at Starbucks Adriatico in Malate for some very confidential undercover project. :p

Thinking that the Starbucks branch there had Airborne Access internet, I brought my laptop with me so we could do some online stuff. I was mistaken.

However, there was this wifi access point available somewhere which my laptop detected. The name of the network suggested that it was from Meridian (or SmartBro) but I was surprised I was able to connect to the network. Surfing wasn’t any good though as I could not get anything.

A few re-connection tries later and my browser was pulling some web page. I really though I got in but again got surprised again that I was redirected to the Smart Bro Portal page. I took a screen shot below:

Smart Bro Portal

Was that supposed to happen? I entered my Airborne Access account hoping that, since Smart/PLDT also owns AA, I could login successfully. Nay. What if I use a SmartBro account?

    if you use smart products, you are always wasting your money…even it is in a 3G area, ur internet access is always unstable….i really thought that kahit saan pwede ang smart bro, that was a lie…nsa contrata mo ng pinirmahan n gagana lng ung equipment qng nsa 3G areas lng eh khit nsa area kna ng my 3G, ganun p rin,walang pagbabago…walang kwenta

  11. mike says:

    everybody arguing what is d’best connection between smartbro and globe… my suggestion is
    first check your location
    2nd ask neighbor who knows the product
    3rd check the consistency of their connection offered
    4th check the company back ground
    last check the contract before you signed
    because they always offer hundred percent excellent connection but if you try to get their service your actually disappointed because of your high expectation with their service
    and you are lock-in with their contract…
    what next “mapipilitan ka ituloy kontrata mo sa kanila…

    if you experience this ayaw na nila ipaputol contract because you are lock-in with them…
    get a hard copy of consumers bill of rights for your protection…

    pwede po pa explain ito :

    “Up to 2Mbps Unlimited Surfing Only P999 per month”

    nakalagay po 2Mbps. e bakit po hangang 180kbps lang ang internet namin?

  17. DJ Acura says:

    @juriel It’s “UP TO” 2Mbps, not necessarily 2Mbps. And when you say up to, it means it can only get up to that point, but it could go as low as 0. Smartbro sucks.

  18. Pioneers says:

    Tama po kayo, up to 2mbps. promotional lang po yan. To the unknowing subscribers of plan 999 up to 2mbps, which i applied for last Nov. 22 2010, Dapat po:

    1. 2Mbps Canopy po ikakabit sa inyo at hinde 1Mbps canopy na tulad ng unang kinabit nila saken. (Baka makauto)

    2. ito po ang settings sa QoS Tab ng Motorola 2Mbps Canopy. If you cannot access your canopy, naka lock po ito. (Pero pwede ny pa din ma unlock, hehe)

    Maximum Downlink Burst Rate: 1700kbps
    Maximum Uplink Burst Rate : 300kbps

    (1700 + 300 = 2000kbps or 2Mbps <– 2MBPS Canopy)

    Pinanood ko nung una ung installer na nagkakagay ng setting sa antenna ko niagay nya 700kbps – downlink at 300kbps – downlink. Ayun pag speedtest nila hanggang 700kbps lang nakukuha nila kc nga 1Mbps canopy lang ang kinabit nila. Baka makauto ng subscriber na basta meron lang internet OK na. Pasensya sila kasi medyo matal na po ako gumagamit ng net. Saka meron ako mga friends na open ang canopy. Na aacess namin sa default IP na 169.254.1.1 ng canopy na ito. Kung hinde nyo maaccess ung canopy malamang sa malamang ginagago na ng smart ung settings ng canopy nyo. At any given time na may magreklamo ng slow connection at nabubulunan na ung AP kung saan nakakonek din kayo, pwede nila baguhin o bagalan ung net nyo para bumilis ung nag reklamo tapos ikaw naman ang babagal. Inuunlock ko ung canopy ko, pinalitan ko nga password ng admin at root saka ko sinet ng tama ung canopy. Yes, na uupgrade nila ung 1mb canopy to 2mb canopy pero sang katutak ng reklamo muna. Sana sa umpisa p lng sana 2mbps canopy an agad nilagay nila para hinde na ko nabwiset saka wag nila ilalock ung canopy para nakikita ko ung gingago na ng smart ung settings ng canopy ko. Marami po paraan para ma unlock at makita setting canopy nyo. Bago nyo po unlock research muna po kayo sa tamang settings ng 2MB canopy ng smartbro dami po sa net. Marereset to default kc tulad saken. Binaba ko ung antenna, nilagyan ko ng palara at bulak(pampasikip) para ma shorted ung pins ng reset port ng canopy (sa loob ng canopy) wag po dun sa RJ45 connector port. Pagkalagay ng pang short, plug in canopy power supply, type 169.254.1.1 makakapasok na kayo sa canopy. Then make changes na maayos sa canopy. save changes then reboot. Bago nyo reboot alisin nyo na ung palara shorting method ko :) set nyo an din ung password ng root at admin sa sarili nyong password. Goodluck. Kung di pa din kayo makapasok sa canopy try change your IP to 169.254.3.3 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    press OK. and try 169.254.1.1 again (explore)

  20. juriel says:

    @DJ Acura: Thanks for the info. baka 1mbps canopy lang nalagay sa akin. ang bagal e.

    @Pioneers: wala po bang ibang way other than ibaba ang antenna and do those things para lang ma access ulit ang canopy??
