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?

Walang talagang kwenta and smartbro. Lalo na yung tech support nila. Bakit sila ginagastusan ng smart. Kung ok service nila di na klangan yung mga englsh speaking pero useless tsr.

Bwusit talaga sila gumastos ka na nga inaksaya pa nila oras at pasensiya mo.

hi there.. help po. i just move-in to a new place near lang din dun sa dati kong aprtment. wala pa 100 meters yung layo ng old place ko sa new place. then i set up my canopy antenna. pointing to the same base station. unfortunately ndi na ako maka connect. what im getting is “limited or no connectivity” and im not comfortable paying smartbro for relocation fee. they ar charging me P1400 for that. panget na nga yung service nila tapos harang pa yung charging fee nila. Pano po ba mag configure ng canopy antenna. please provide naman ng step by step procedure on how i can go about this concerns. appreciate any help you can share with me. kindly reply at p3****@yahoo.com many thanks…

anyway guys to access smartbro wifi if you have username and password to obtain it you need to subscribe, how to hack well if you know how to change a mac address of your lan card you can download it or search it. then you need to configure the canopy which hold some information, canopy is the antenna on the rooftop it is like a router that has some configuration. i have a connection in my home and in my house using one account only i bought 1 antenna from a some one got disconnected on smart so i use it and reconfigure. by the way you can not use it at the same time! but still the best part is I got connection in my home and my shop :D kwel. router problem just do this clone the mac address where they install your antenna so simple right to make it less configuration just use DHCP server and make it auto obtain IP note mac address are in hexadecimal

peace.

i would appreciate your assistance.

hi… to those who are having a problem with linksys router, u need to configure that router first so that it could share multiple internet connection . access mo default gateway nya, its (192.168.1.1) tas configure mo depende kung ano ang internet connection type mo, kung cable connection ka, just leave it auto-config DHCP pero pag DSL, change it to PPPoE. tas give the informations being ask. save mo lang. and u need to make sure na u have internet ip address sa status tab to make sure its configured correctly and is now ready for multiple internet connection. medyo magulo at complicated. pasensya. :)

jhef · 19 years ago

wahhhh bakit ang bagal naman ng conection ng smart bro.??? sayang naman ung 1000 a month na binabayaran ko,, dapat 500 lang! magglobe broadband nalang tayo, mabilis daw eh

Money Man · 19 years ago

Like April, I also have a Linksys router model BEFW11S4.

Nakakaconnect naman sa internet pag kabit pero isa isang PC lang. Pag nagsabay say 2 PC, disconnect isang PC. Tapos di rin ma access ang default na router IP na 192.168.1.1.

May pagasa pa kaya to o bili na ko ng Zyxel like Randy? Patulong naman po sa nakakaalam…

april · 19 years ago

ta3..tulong!! pano bah i config ung linksys wireles router? sabi daw type ko lng ung default ip (192.168.1.1)..tapos, renidirect ako..tapos wla na..hangang dun nlng..pls..help me…

krz · 19 years ago

that happened to me sa Starbucks in Harbor Square.

Hmm, i dunno what’s that but i think it’s smart bro :P u can use ur smart phone ata to buy credits 10 pesos/30 minutes

randy · 19 years ago

im using a smart bro and i bought a wireless router na ZyXEL model P-334wt.. galing sa canopy diretso sa router at nkkpag-surf kmi ng internet using 2 desktop and 5 laptop computers, medyo nbabawasan nga lng ng konti un speed but its worth it… atleast na maximize ko un connections…

ok nman un ZyXEL na router kc plug n play na sya, no need to install software or sumtin… basta un una na mangyayari eh pag nadetect na ng router un connection from smart eh ire-redirect ka muna sa smart portal, u need to do sum security checking sa smart bro, after nun ok na.. u can now surf the net…

jst sharing how to maximize ur connections….

u can send me some mail if u hve a question ra****@yahoo.com

Tech Support · 19 years ago

You can use the Forget password link and it will ask for a question. or if you have no idea about the answer just call the tech support of the smart bro they will help you out with your account!

Nicholas · 19 years ago

ano po ba dapat gawin para malaman ko ang id at password ko,,,, nakalimutan ko kasi,,

Tech Support · 19 years ago

As far as i know guys you cannot use your password and username to any place! is you are registered to makati you cannot use this password to alabang bec every wifi antena that smart bro give has an mac address that is registered to your account if you use any password which is diff to your mac address connection will temporary disconnect for secuirity. so if you make sagap with any signal with anyone router unsecured and he use smart bro you cannot use your username and password bec its not registered on that antena!
want to know why! kc kung pwede yun! d sana na i transfer ko na ang antena smartbro ko sa laguna! i tried but it cannot connect bec it was registered to makati! my account has been disconnect and i just confirm it and my connection got back.

that is my expirience, but dont just rely on my explanation you can new expirience to or just try to have an tryal an error.

by the way can you give me some router brands that work fine with smart bro?

Reach me if you need tech support.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 20 years ago

omski,

thanks for the explanation. now i know. :)

omski · 20 years ago

yuga,

hoop is correct, somebody’s wireless router is powered on that time and not secured (starbucks neighbor) and this somebody is a SMART BRO subscriber (malas nya! dami problem nito at intermittent and uptime…) He went out for coffee and forgot to shut off his unsecured router! I think you can connect to internet if you have an account with SMART BRO using his wireless router…

Gloria · 20 years ago

hay naku, sana nga taga malacanang ako para puwede sindakin ang smart. kaso andito ako sa bulubundukin ng sorsogon eh. :))

vinvinvin · 20 years ago

Gloria, taga saan ka ba? Malacanang ba?

Gloria · 20 years ago

buwiset na smart bro yan, nag-apply ako online, di ako pinapansin. anyway, mukhang di pa talaga yan abot dito.

vinvinvin · 20 years ago

May mga AP ang Smart WiFi/Smart Bro na 2.4Ghz Frequency na pang SendFar bukod sa Canopy na 5.7 Ghz… Wala lang!

hoop · 20 years ago

It looks like somebody’s wireless router isn’t secured properly… then again, it could be that somebody’s intentionally tapping into smart bro and waiting for somebody to enter their username and password… phishing! :D
