GUIDE #1
If you want to access your Smartbro Canopy and be able to tweak it’s settings or fix your connection one better way to do it is know it’s IP address, but how can you do it? well, Here is a step-by-step procedure on how you can safely get the IP address of your SmartBRO Canopy so you can access and manage your SmartBRO Canopy settings.
any new subscriber of smartbro will have the 10.xxx.xxx canopy address
1. Go to network connections in the control panel
2. Right click on the local area network
3. Highlight Internet Protocol and click on properties
4. Set to Use the Following IP address
5. Set the IP Address to “10.20.30.40″
6. Set the Subnet to “255.0.0.0″
7. Leave the gateway blank
8. Leave the DNS blank
9. Apply the changes
10. Then go to command prompt
11. Type in the command prompt c:\arp -a
arp -a – Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current protocol data. If inet_addr is specified, the IP and Physical addresses for only the specified computer are displayed. If more than one network interface uses ARP, entries for each ARPtable are displayed.
12. It will show several IP address

the example above shows that the canopy IP address is 10.245.180.126
13. After you get the IP address of your canopy, open your browser (I prefer Mozilla Firefox)
14. Type the IP address at the address bar to get access to the smartbro admin site.
After you gain access to your smartbro admin site you can now be able to tweak some settings and troubleshoot connections.

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.

GUIDE #3
Here's how to reset the Smartbro Canopy antenna using a router.
- Turn off your router.
- Unplug the power of the Canopy antenna.
- Turn back the router on and attach its PC LAN cable to one of the LAN ports.
- Plug the antenna back to power and then plug its antenna LAN cable to one of the LAN ports of the router.
- Do an IPCONFIG in the command prompt.
- In his case, the IP address was 192.168.1.102.
- The settings in his Linksys router lists 192.168.1.100 as the starting IP for DHCP allocation.
- How did he find out the IP address of the canopy? By pinging the range of the IP addresses set by the router.
- Since his IP address on the PC was 192.168.1.102, he guessed that the canopy's IP might be 192.168.1.101.
- But he didn't get any reply so he tried pinging 192.168.1.100 and got ping replies and he was able to access the canopy through a web browser.
- Go to the DHCP setting in the Canopy configuration settings page and then disable DHCP. Save, then reboot.
- You can now attach the Canopy LAN cable directly to your PC's LAN card or on the Router WAN/Internet port. From here you can now access the canopy normally like you used to by using 169.254.1.1.
