We are using Smart Bro internet. I wander will this work as well on setting up our Linksys 2-port Broadband Phone VoiP Adapter which we have from the U.S. Please advise. Thank you very much.

Hello Percy,

Yes it should work, esp. if you are using vonage or packet8 voip service. without further configuration. I have linksys wrtp54g running using vonage voip just fine.

btw, what is model of your linksys voip adapter? just stay put as i will going to have a specific post just for this. with diagram on showing how to connect your network devices.

hi,

i’m thinking of buying the WRT54GC also. may i know the range of this router’s wifi?

i’m also using smartbro and currently, i use the internet in my laptop by transfering the cables from computer to my laptop. and every time i transfer cables, it redirects to the smart bro portal and i need to login. if i use this router, will i be needing to login everytime as well?

thanks!

Hello Bryan,

with the Linksys WRT54GC you can connect your laptop wirelessly, and your desktop either wired or wireless too, also it will solve your login-when-you-connect dilemma.

thanks batman!

bought the compact G already. haven’t tested it yet though. i didn’t have the plug adaptor to plug in a regular outlet =) going to buy one today.

one question regarding the setup though regarding the following instruction:

“4. Enter the router’s hostname and domain.”

where will i get the router’s hostname and domain?

thanks!

Hello Brian,

The hostname could be anything you like, the domain could be your workgroup’s name or the meridian’s domain name, meridiantelekoms.com.

I hope you guys could help me out here. I have a Huawei E220 HSPDA USB modem for my Globe visibility. But sometimes the service sucks so I would like to use the modem for my SMART super SIM3. However, I don’t know the required network connection settings for the SMART SIM. These are the data required:

1. Authentication (number) (username) (password)
2. DNS settings (dynamic/static) (primary DNS) (secondary DNS)
3. APN and Additional Settings (dynamic/static) (APN)
4. IP Settings (dynamic/static) (IP Address)
5. Authentication Protocol (CHAP/PAP)
6. WINS Settings (dynamic/static) (Primary WNS) (Secondary WINS)

Any help will be very ch appreciated.

Thanks in advance

This is cool!

More Power…………………………..!

hi i’d like to ask you about the clarity issue on the smart bro - vonage connectivity(smart bro connected to a WRT54G then to the vonage motorola VT2442)… right now im using that set-up but when i use the vonage telephone there is a clicking sound in the background.. can you help me resolve this problem??? thanks! more power.

Barok123,

I’m sorry i can’t answer that question directly as i haven’t encountered such problem on my vonage router before, here is a good link that best explains the causes and what to do to resolve that background clicking sound problem, http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic20858.html

Using the installer CD of my Linkys WRT54G doesn’t work. However, with your instructions, I was able to connect my Linkys router to my SmartBro connection last night. Now, my cousin and I can already surf the web with our desktop and laptop simultaneously. You’ve been very helpful. Thanks a lot!

Hello Darwin,

Great that you find this how-to helpful.

good day!

i have the linksys WRT54G, a newbie, no idea on how to install this router. first i tried the CD INSTALLER but it keeps on asking the password again and again, up to step 8 only..

i googled and found this forum..

i have followed the steps but can not view the linkys router configuration page where i can proceed step no.2. i had tried the IE and Firefox but no to avail. just to verify do i need to the plug in the power supply for the linksys router and the smarbro’s attenna supply? or did i miss something?

hope you can help me.

Hello Gilbert,

Did you just purchase this router recently and never been config or whatsoever by anyone else?

hi! i am currently setting up my linksys router. i’m using smartbro. my router is wag54g. i can’t seem to make it work. i followed the steps on the manual. i selected RFC 1483 Bridged as its encapsulation as i was told by smartbro’s tech support they use dynamic IP. i don’t know the VPI and VCI though. i tried setting it to automatically detect VPI and VCI. still didn’t work. appreciate if you can help me out..

i have the same problem as gilbert and our router is not new, we use that one for PLDT before. do we need a to buy a new router?

@semenelin

smartbro will not work on wag54g simply because these routers are specially made for adsl, meaning, it has built-in modem in it. The router needs to have the MAC cloning feature too which unfortunately not present in linksys wag54g.

There are affordable routers in cdrking that works with smartbro, or you can get the wrt54gc, wrt54g or router of your choice as long as it has MAC cloning support. dlink routers are good too.

@Yammy

Please provide the router’s brand and model, you might not need to buy new.

i see.. ok thanks so much for your help! i’ll try to get WRT54GC so i can just go here and follow your instructions. thanks again!

thanks so much…connection has been intermittent with this router… tried your settings today… will monitor if it’ll be the same. tnx agen

Hello Batman..

Can You Help me with my problem…

I have a Well setup Smart Wireless on my room and it works fine on my laptop

Now i tried to Install another Wireless router on my brothers room connected from my router because the signal can’t be reach by his laptop… Now the problem is… No signal detected from the router, my question is,… do i need to configure something? please help… tnxs a lot…

Hi! i purchased a linksys wireless gigabit router. I am also using smartbro and we have two pcs at home. The other pc is wireless and the other is wired in relation to the router. The router is connected to the wired pc. I tried to configure the router using the installation cd that comes with the router on the wired pc. I was able to install and configure it on the wired computer and the other computer (wireless) detected the wireless connection.

My problem is that when i tried to surf the internet on the pc (wireless), the browser says their is no connection detected. In short, i cannot surf the internet on my computer(wireless) but i can surf the net on the computer where the router is connected using cables.

It is my first time to have a home network. Please help me solve my problem so i can surf the net with both pcs and not only on my pc that is wired to my router.

Thanks! Godbless!

hi! i hav this problem of mine. is it possible to network my smart bro to three of my pc at home using lan cable? do i hav to use router or hub only?

Tanx and godbless.

Hello everyone. This is interesting…

@Pao - you may want to check if you have enabled MAC Clone on your router as what is specified in this posting. Check as well your physical connection if it is correct (Smart Bro UTP to the WAN Port of your router). You might want to check as well if the wireless computer is obtaining a valid IP address (not 169.x.x.x)

@Marvin, you need a router so your 3 computers can go online simultaneously and do networking at the same time.

Just my thoughts! Hope that helps

Hi, Batman! I was trying also to connect my WRT54GL router to my smartbro internet. I followed the instructions that you have mentioned in your article, and I actually got or cloned the mac address just as what was explained in your procedure. However, I still can’t get internet service. What are the other things that I still have to check? Please advise. Your prompt reply would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

By the way Batman, do you have landline where I can call you? Please advise. Thanks!

Nuj,

try to connect the smartbro cable first to your pc’s lan card so you will be able to register your pc’s mac address, once registered try to access the internet to make sure its working, then connect the smartbro cable to your router’s wan port, then follow the instructions above.

oo nga, nagawa nga nitong i-share ang connection ko. ang problema ko sa ganitong setup eh kelangan naka-power on ung unit ng pinaggayahan (one that is cloned) ko ng mac address kasi wla net ung ibang PC pag patay un. although meron network sharing, say fiel & print sharing, remote login, X11, ek ek. pero ang internet, wala, as in dead.
pero kita nmn sa terminal

sudo ifconfig en0

meron IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS, DHCP, provider.
basta lahat ng information n galing sa meridian telekoms, meron..pero bakit ala net, pag patay ung pinag-clone-an..?

anung remedyo ang pede nating gawin d2…?

one more thing… di ko ako maka-access sa
169.254.1.1 (ung canopy setup page)
pag naka-router.

bakit ganun?
kelangan ko pang idirect connect ung smartbro sa computer para lng maka-access ko un (for cases na gusto ko magpalit ng AP ng canopy kasi minsan down ung kinakabitan ko)

Thanks for the Info…

WRT54G ver. 7 user here! I follow your instruction and still I can’t browse the web. Is there any problem with my version?

after successful connection to smartbro of linksys router…how do I go about having our wifi connection be password protected, from unauthorized access

@George

It should supposed to work just fine, please check your browser and make sure that it is set to used direct connection (no proxy). also try to ping 4.2.2.2 if you’re able to get a reply, also try to connect your smartbro bridge/canopy to your pc and see if you are able to connect to the internet there.

Hi, y’all… I just recently reformatted my pc. I can access the net but having problem sometimes. Like suddenly the connection gets lost and I have to restart to gain access again.

Can someone please tell me how to configure my smartbro? right now my IP is set on automatic.

Im from Davao City, I will be staying on my mother’s house for a week or two and i will be planing to bring with me the smartbro antenna because my work is in the internet and i cant live without it, does anybody have idea on setting up to a different location? how do i configure my SmartBro to antenna to another city? line-of-site is ok because our neighbors has smartbro too. where can i find the settings for smartbro antenna? thanks!

Bro can we port forwarding on that too?

port forwarding, dmz or virtual server settings doesn’t work on smartbro connection because the ip address assigned to your router is non-routable ip addr.

Hey batman! =)

Before anything else, I would like thank you for helping us out. You really are a big help to people like me who is not as techy as you are.

Anyway, I hope you can still help me with this one. =)

I bought a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router and I was able to successfully configure it with SmartBro. Now, I can surf the net with my Desktop PC (OS is XP) and Laptop (vista) which is connected wirelessly, with no problems. But whenever I turn the Desktop PC off, my laptop’s internet connection is lost. In the network I can still see the router but I can’t connect to the internet and in the system tray, it says “Local Only”. However, if I turn the Desktop PC back on, I’m able to connect with both of my computers. I think the Desktop PC is still the one connecting to smart bro, not the router.

How do you think am I able to fix this so I can use my laptop without having to turn the desktop pc on everytime?

Thank you in advance Batman! =) and to anyone out there who might also know how to fix this… I really appreciate all the help I could get. =) Thanks! Godbless!

am already able to set up my router..but how do i go wireless?
