How to Change SmartBro Canopy Settings and Access 169.254.1.1

First Method

1.) Go to Control Panel –> Network Connections. Hanapin mo yung connection ng SmartBRO Canopy, normally Local Area Connection.

2.) Once na nahanap mo na, right click the connection and select Properties.

3.) Under sa This connection uses the following items:, double-click yung Internet Protocol TCP/IP.

4.) Set your IP address to 169.254.3.3, and subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.

5.) Click OK, and close all windows.

6.) Open your internet browser, we prefer FireFox, and type in 169.254.1.1 sa address bar, this will take you to the Canopy MS.

Note: If this doesn’t work, probably your Canopy MS is blocked, or has been set to use a nonstandard IP address. This is where method two comes in.

Second Method

1.) Follow steps 1-3 from the first method.
2.) This time, set your IP address to 10.20.30.40, and subnet mask to 255.0.0.0

The following steps will help you identify your Canopy address, if ever nagbago na ung IP niya (hindi na 169.254.1.1).

3.) Open the ms-dos command prompt. (on your start menu, select run, and type ‘cmd’)

4.) Enter the following command: arp -a. It will display IP addresses connected to your network, look for the IP address beginning with 10 (10.xxx.xx.xx), this is your Canopy address. Note that i-disregard niyo lang ung ibang IP addresses, as wala naman tayong pag-gagamitan, and your Canopy address is not the one with 10.0.0.1.

5.) Close command prompt and open your web browser (use FireFox) and enter your Canopy address sa address bar (10.xxx.xx.xx).

So, that’s basically it. Napasok mo na yung Canopy page mo without any hassle. May nakausap akong technician once, sabi niya para makuha mo yung exact canopy address mo, akyatin mo bubong mo tapos tanggalin mo yung antenna, hanapin mo yung sticker, then convert the numbers into hexadecimals to get the IP.

Now, to maximize your internet capability, go to the Canopy page –> Configuration –> Quality of Service QoS. Make sure na walang values set to 256, if ever meron, set that to 500.

Also, select Enabled dun sa Hi-Priority Channel.

Good luck! Kung maganda connection mo, this should take you way beyond your bandwidth capacity, like 500-750kbps. Make sure na jitters is below 5, and di aabot ng 1.5 miles yung air distance mo sa base station.
