After unboxing the Smart Bro Pocket WiFi I ordered through the Smart Online Store, it's time for a test.
So following the instructions from the manual, I inserted the SIM card. It's quite challenging to insert because the port is made for a full sized SIM but the free one which came with the package can fall apart anytime and transform itself into a micro SIM! Anyway, I was able to properly do it.
Next, I powered on the device and waited for the Internet and WiFi lights to indicate that the gadget is receiving a signal. The Pocket WiFi's battery has initial charging and comes with free 300MB valid for 3 days. This will allow us to test the data connectivity without having to load it just yet.

Pocket WiFi Initial Setup
 |
| Smart Bro Pocket WiFi interface |
All gadgets we used had no problem locating the Pocket WiFi by it's default name. I also easily changed the WiFi name and setup a password from the Smart Bro interface. You can access this by typing the default gateway 192.168.1.1 through your browser. In my case, the interface screen actually automatically popped up the moment I connected my laptop to the Pocket WiFi. Once in the interface, you can also choose an encryption mode to make sure that the device is secure from unauthorized users. Choose WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Make sure not to change anything else so as not to mess up the system.
The complete instructions with a video is available through the page Pocket WiFi Setup using Wizard. from Smart's website.
Internet Speed and Signal Strength
It's fast enough and definitely worth it's price (which we paid in full). Other than the prepaid version, you can also choose a plan so you won't have to worry about loading every time. I only needed a prepaid for out of town trips. I have tested the device in far flung Honda bay of Palawan while river cruising through the mangroves at San Carlos. The signal and speed are also great here at El Nido (also in Palawan). There are places while on the road where the connection is intermittent though. But all in all, so far so good.
hi I am using the same device but the problem is that I can only connect to internet when the cable is plugged in to my laptop.If I unplug it and connect with the wifi, I am able to get a signal but "unidentified network" you know what seems to be the problem?much appreciated..
ReplyDeleteCan be an ISP issue. Have you tried calling Smart? Try these forum advice too:

Just to make sure that I got it correctly. We can change the Wifi name and PW by going that gateway right? Will it work kung sa phone browser sya iaccess? Wala kasi yung laptop ko ngayon since wala ako sa bahay eh I'm planning to buy one this week. Salamat po. :)
ReplyDeleteGagana po sya kahit saang device na may browser basta itype mo lang po yung ip adress nya
DeleteIf you can access the GUI from your mobile phone's browser, then you can do that. I tried it on my phone and yes, I can open the modem's gateway.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the problem with the green light, it's open but not blinking ?
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about the pocket WiFi? If you are, which part is it? The light on the left is for battery status and the other green light is for signal (far right). The latter should be blinking if it's connected. If not, then access the GUI (192.168.1.1) when your device is connected and check the device's status - connected or not, any SMS from the network, etc.
DeleteSame problem din po. Pag-open ko ng pocket wifi. The whole day solid green lang, not blinking. Eh bago yun mangyari lagi namang nag-biblink eh. Hindi nagta-tranfer yung data, pero connected sa network. Paano po yun? Thanks.
DeleteNa-access mo yung GUI? There's a button on the left side. It should show "Disconnect" kung connected sa network. If not, hit the "Connect" button.
Delete^Are you trying it right now? Ganyan din sa kin as of the moment as well as several times these past few days. FAILURE din ang response sometimes instead of SUCCESS and the signal light is also steady green. I don't know kung dahil sa ulan.
DeleteHave you tried contacting Smart?
^Same here; ilang days na din. I don't know kung may issue sa Smart. I havent' tried to contact them. Backup connection lang naman kasi ito so I can still use another connection.
DeleteSame problem po. Naka strady green lang yung signal light then kapag chineck ko yung sa information sa 192.168.1.1, di niya narread yung sim card number..(---------) ganyan lang. Ano po recommend niyo? Then kapag kino-connect ko naman. Failure pa din. Mahigit 1week na. I've to reset it, yet ganun pa din po.
DeleteActive pa kaya yung SIM card installed? When was it last reloaded (kung prepaid ito ha)?
Deleteyung sakin nman nag bli-blink sya kaso ang hina ng transfer ng data kahit naka load ako ng giga surf .. kaka inis! dahil ba yun sa network sa location ko ?? please help thnks.
DeletePwede. Try mong dalhin sa ibang lugar. Try mo din iconnect ang ibang gadget (laptop, PC etc.) to see na hindi yung gadget/device connected ang issue.
DeleteThe green light is open but it's not blinking, what's the problem?
ReplyDeleteThere's no signal possibly?
DeleteThe Network status is solid red .. please help what should i do
ReplyDeleteThe Network Status is Solid Red.. pLease help how to make it green
ReplyDeleteCan you access the interface? Check if your SIM card/account is still active. Maybe that's why it's red and the network is not detected. Otherwise, do bring it to a Smart Bro office.
DeleteSame problem everytime and the signal is red until the day has passed lagi nalang ganyan hirap talaga makahanap ng signal once na mawala na yung signal nya kinabukasan na ulit magkakaron
DeleteIlan hours nyo po sya chinarge?
ReplyDeleteI don't notice how long kasi most often, I use it habang naka-charge (which is bad). Basta, hindi na nagbli-blink yung battery indicator, full charged na yun.
DeleteEhvbat ganun Hindi na nagblink young battery 3 hours ko siyang na charge from 12-3AM tas kinabukasan red yubg battery ilan beses ko na na pindot young power button tas wala na lumabas na light kailangan ko icharge ulit
DeleteCheck connections? Power outlets? Battery itself or the charger?
Deletehi ung sakin nag charge lng tas nag solid green ung sa battery pero hindi q ma open ilang beses q ng pinindot power button
DeleteTry long press sa power button don't let go hanggang mag-power on.
DeleteHello ung sakin nmn po stuck sa red light ung battery nya pero hnggang dun LNG and n ngbubukas anu kya prob nito
DeleteUng skin nmn nksteady s red light s battdry tas d n nag oopen anu po kya prob nun kabibili kopa lbg nito
DeletePwedeng yung battery or charger. Try mo gamit ng ibang compatible charger to test. May nabibili naman daw na similar battery dyan pag battery ang sira. Just get the battery model number.
DeleteHello ung akin di tumitigil sa pag blink ung signal(network) , normal ba un or dapat green solid sya na hindi nag biblink
ReplyDeleteUng problem ko po is ung signal(nework) nag biblink lang sya hindi sya solid green . Normal po ba yon or dpat solid green ang signal nya ? Nababagalan kasi ako delay masyado pa sa mga laro . Pa help po thanks !
ReplyDeleteOkay lang yang blinking light. It means there is signal. Pag steady green kasi yung network light, walang connection or limited.
DeleteYung Signal network po nung akin. Solid green po. Pero wala pong internet. Ayus lang po ba yun?
DeletePag solid green ang network light (far right), walang connection. It should be blinking kung may Internet.
DeleteHello! My problem naman is I can't access the GUI. It keeps on asking for a username & a password but won't let me through when I type "smartbro" for both, which I think is the default?
ReplyDeleteAnong address ng GUI? 192.168.1.1? Isang info lang ang needed and "smartbro" lang ang kelangan ilogin. Smart bro pocket WiFi po ba yan? Kasi pag canopy (yung may antenna), iba ang username & password. It's the service reference number and then the account number if I am not mistaken. Contact Smart na lang po para sure. Dial *1888 on a Smart sim phone.
DeleteYung akin po. Signal network niya. Hindi man po nag biblink. Pero wala pong internet. Pano po yun?
ReplyDeletePlease see above comments. Network signal light not blinking = no signal.
Deleteplease reply po.. Thank you
ReplyDeletekapag nka charge.. Kulay green tama po ba? pero pag inoopen ko na. Kulay red padin? i dont get it.. Pa explain po.. Ty
ReplyDeletekapag nka charge.. Kulay green tama po ba? pero pag inoopen ko na. Kulay red padin? i dont get it.. Pa explain po.. Ty
ReplyDeleteNagregister po aq s fone tas nilipat q ung sim sa pocket wifi at naka unli na ako pero wala pa ding internet.p help naman,ty
ReplyDeleteActually, no need to do that eh. Just power on the pocket WiFi, then access the GUI via 192.168.1.1, login with "smartbro" and load and register for promos. May signal ba? Last light on the right. And when you access the GUI, can you see your phone connected? It should show on the homepage dashboard, plus sa left, it says "disconnect" kapag connected.
DeleteTry calling *1888 on a Smart sim for tech assistance from Smart Bro.
kakabili ko lang ng pocket wifi... paano pag na consumed ko na ung 350MB mag no-notice ba na consumed na ung 350mb kahit walang wifi?? thank you po!!!
ReplyDeleteHa? Baka may connected device sa Pocket WiFi mo or baka may expiration yung 350MB?
Deletei can't access the GUI poh...even the website....huhuhu...pls help...
ReplyDeleteSmart Bro Pocket WiFi? Not Smart Bro canopy? Ano lumalabas when you access the GUI (192.168.1.1)? May Smart Bro canopy (antenna) na kasi na migrated into PLDT.
DeleteTry calling *1888 on a Smart sim for tech assistance from Smart Bro.
i can't access the GUI poh...even the website....huhuhu...pls help...
ReplyDeletei can't access the GUI poh...khit ung site nla...iba ang lumalabas....hdi site ng smart... :( pls help poh..thanks!
ReplyDeletepaano malalaman na fully charged na ang pocket wifi? palagi nalang naka blink while charging na green then red.
ReplyDeleteBlinking green when charging; steady green when fully charged. Red means the battery is almost drained. Are you using the pocket WiFi modem while charging? It will damage the battery inside.
Deletekapag nka charge.. Kulay green tama po ba? pero pag inoopen ko na. Kulay red padin? i dont get it.. Pa explain po.. Ty
ReplyDeleteContact Smart na lang po. Baka sira na yung battery sa loob. Open the modem at the back, andun yung battery.
DeleteAh gud pm mam pano po ayusin ang pocet wifi parang may nakalkal aq sa loob ng settings eh sa router banda... tas may na disable aq dun tas ayaw ng magcnnect tapos pag magcoconect nq ayaw na parang nabura ung getaway address nya ...paturo naman poh ty
DeletePag di na ma-access yung gateway (192.168.1.1 or something), try to contact Smart support na lang. I have no idea kung paano ang configuration sa modem mismo lalo na kung di na ma-access yung default gateway. Wala rin yatang reset button sa pocket Wi-Fi nila.
DeleteFirst, try to clean the SIM card port from dust and dirt or have a tech do so.
DeleteSa Smart Bro, you can send/receive SMS. Try to send an SMS to and from the Smart Bro number to check or you can try the SIM card in a basic phone to see if it still works.
ask ko lng po normal po ba na ung signal ng smart pocket wifi ko e blinking patay buhay..
ReplyDeleteWhich light? Left? Right? Steady green dapat sa left (battery) while sa right dapat blinking talaga. It means may signal reception at connected online ang device mo.
Deletema'am yung akin po nags-steady then nagbi-blink pero walang connection. kahapon ko lang binili pero hindi ko pa nagagamit :( Salamat sa reply. God bless
ReplyDeleteHello! Open the GUI. 192.168.1.1 on your browser. Click Connect pag hindi pa connected yung modem online.
DeleteMa'am the signal bar light on my pocket wifi is bright red. It does not turn into any other color but bright red. When I opened the GUI given and clicked the information tab,it did not show any number nor any signal strength. HOW TO FIX THIS? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteReceived the zte smart pocket wifi couple of hours ago. Changed the name and pword already via the gui. Problem ko is red signal up to now. How long before sim is activated by smart. Is there a smart number i can call using a non smart phone? Is there like a 24hr activation period upon receiving device or inserting sim?
ReplyDeleteYes. There is a 24-hour activation period. Try these > https://help.smart.com.ph/article/contact-support
DeleteThanks Maria. Will wait for the 24hr activation. Hopefully by this afternoon i should have the green signal blinking light.
ReplyDeleteYep, you're welcome. You may contact Smart if it still doesn't work after 24 hours.
DeletePassed by smart in ghills. Also followed up via PLDT account thru 171. They said the job order has been placed already. Outstanding efficiency. Ive followed up w them for activation 4 x probably and each time is a wait 24/48hr advice. 6 days na. Not to mention i placed the order May 18 and it never got delivered til last week after numerous followups via 171.
ReplyDeleteDeym, that is awful indeed. I also ordered my Smart Bro pocket WiFi online but got it within 5-7 business days. The activation was completed within 24 hours (actually less).
DeleteI did changed my password, but when I tried to re-open the site and to change my password again, I can't access it anymore. Is it a one-time set-up only?
ReplyDeleteWhich password are you referring to? Is the for the popup screen when accessing the interface (192.168.1.1)? If yes, the default password should be "smartbro."
DeleteHello need help sa zte smart pocket wifi ko. Pag nag login ako sa 192.168.1.1 nakaka pasok naman ako pero kapag nagclick nako sa settings nya d na sya nagtutuloy. Ano kaya problema? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMay error message? Try this > http://smart.com.ph/bro/support/quick-solutions
DeleteYung Smartbro 4G pocket wifi ko po is solid red yung ilaw ng signal. at kapag nagcoconnect po ako ng device, lagi pong may lumalabas na sign in to wifi network. Ano pong gagawin ko eh ilang beses ko nang nai-sign in sa 192.168.1.1 tapos natry ko na ngang lagyan ng password eh.
ReplyDeleteTry the Reset option within the interface din. Have you tried calling SmartBro?
DeleteBakit po kaya minsan ayaw magcharge nito? Kahit connected naman po sya sa adapter? Salamat
ReplyDeletemy smart bro wifi is blinking orange when i charge it. i dont know what that means
ReplyDeletebakit po ako kakabili ko lang walang included na charger
ReplyDeleteYung charger dapat kasama sa box. Try to check everything again. Kung wala, contact Smart.
DeleteHello po bat ganun hindi gumagana ang pokemon go ko? Sa fb lang gumagana naman sa ibang networked apps. Sa pokemon lang talaga hindi, ano po dapat na gawin.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. May error ba when you play?
DeleteHello! Want to ask. Nakaregister na po ako sa SURFMAX. Signal po is blinking. Connection to the phone okay din po. Pero walang internet connnection. Please help! Sayang ung load eh

how will i know po if my free data is ubos na i bought a smart pocket wifi last week but know parang ubos na sya .. signal blinks in green then turn to red then turn to green again. pagkakaalam ko po kase na 350mb sya per month
ReplyDeleteYung network signal na green to red has nothing to do with your load. It's green when receiving signal and red if not; whether or not may load.
DeleteHello po ask ko lng po..nwala po kc ung charger ng wifi ko...ok lng po b n ibang charger ang gamitin ko?tnx po godbless
ReplyDeleteTry mo kung compatible. Okay lang naman siguro, in my opinion.
DeleteI just purchased mine kanina and I am trying to set it up via mobile browser. Bakit ayaw gumana ng smartbro default username and pw? And talaga bang may charger? Wala kasi yung akin
ReplyDeleteMeron dapat charger. Di kaya hindi na yan brand new? Try to do factory reset and try the default login again.
DeleteHi there! I followed all your instructions but still no internet access. i register promo gigasurf 50. and i could connect to my wifi. but the connection has no "no internet access".
ReplyDeleteSignal light is green? Registration to promo successful? Then there must be something wrong other than that. Try this: http://smart.com.ph/bro/support/quick-solutions
DeleteHello po, ung smartbro wifi zte ko po, ung signal nya is changing from 2g/hspa lang. Pag pinalitan ko sa settings ng 4g only, red signal lang po sya. Bakot po kaya? Sayang lang linoad ko. I tried changing the sim, and restarting,lahat ng restart po ginawa ko, wala paring pagbabago. Still doesnt work. Help! ��
ReplyDeleteTry mo dalhin sa labas ng bahay or sa ibang lugar. Baka kasi walang 4G data signal sa lugar nyo.
DeleteMaria... my gf has the same pocket wifi as in the pictures...pero the charge doesnt last long na... are there replacement batteries for that one? Where can someone buy that either in Metro Manila or Angeles City? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOpen the pocket WiFi and see if the battery comes off. Bring it to a cellphone shop to check if they have a battery model that's similar. In Metro Manila, try Greenhills Shopping Center. You can also visit any Smart office in malls.
Deletehello po...pag poh b pinalitan ng new sim ung smartbro pocket wifi,pnu po ung password nun...ung default pw o dti pdn pw?help pls
Deletepag pinalitan mo b sim ng pocket wifi balik po b s default password?
Deletehello po...pag poh b pinalitan ng new sim ung smartbro pocket wifi,pnu po ung password nun...ung default pw o dti pdn pw?help pls
DeleteNo. Default login pa rin sa modem (yung Pocket WiFi).
DeleteHi po... Anung ginagwang T/S pag ung wifi signal sa 3g na pocket wifi smartbro ndi nag light up? please help po.. natanung ko na ito dati kay smart.. kaso nkalimutan ko ehh.. napindot kc ng kapatid ko ung GRS na button sa gilid.

DeleteHello just want to ask something. Khot po kasi i long press ko yung power button ayaw po umilaw i tried to charge it ayaw din po. Okay nmn sya tje other day eh. Hope you reply. Thank youu
ReplyDeleteTry another charger na compatible kung meron. Kung wala, bring it to any Smart center para ma-test nila. I'm sure they will at least let you try a charger na compatible to test your unit.
DeleteTry removing the battery then reinstalling it. Power on again.
ReplyDeletepaano po ba malalaman kung fully charged na magbliblink po ng green yung battery icon tapos chineck ko po 100% na sya e nung tinignan ko rin po yung ibang answer nyo tapos sabi nyo po pag fully charged steady lang po
ReplyDeletePag steady green, fully charged na. Pag blinking green, it's still charging.
DeleteWhat is the meaning of orange light battery indicator???
ReplyDeleteTry this > http://smart.com.ph/bro/support/troubleshooting
ReplyDeletePag wala kang makita na solution, contact Smart from a Smart-sim powered phone. *1888 for Internet issues.
hi po, pwede po bang lagyan ng ibang sim card ang pocket wifi na ito?
ReplyDeleteIbang network? Baka hindi gumana kung naka-lock sa Smart yung pocket Wi-Fi modem nila.
DeletePano pag ayaw magcharge? Nagiging kulay red lang pag nakasaksak pero sabi dapat nagiging green o kaya dapat nagbi-blink pa
ReplyDeleteBattery or charger problem? Try another charger first.
DeleteHi po..yung smart bro ko po nka plan sa pldt yung 299 po..kaso bkit mabagal po ang net nya.
ReplyDeleteTry mo po to isolate the problem first. Try using the plugin with another computer to see if it's not your computer.
Deletepano nyo po nactivate yung smartbro pocketwifi ng pldt.. sakin kc kahit san na ko napunta red signal parin
DeleteHi! My pocket wifi indicates na full charge na siya then inalis ko siya sa charger tapos after a few seconds nagtuturnoff na agad. I need help, wala pa siyang 1 month sa akin :(
ReplyDeleteBrand new? Then is should still be within warranty. Pero kung second hand, baka defective na yung battery.
Deletehi .. pano po pag red lights parin yung signal .. pano po maging green yun
ReplyDeletehi.. pano po yung signal ng pocketwifi .. still red.. ano pedeng gawin.
ReplyDeleteActive pa ba yung SIM card na nasa loob? May signal ba sa lugar nyo ng Smart?
DeleteHndi nadedetect ng gadget yung smart bro tapos ayaw maconnect sa gateway 192.168.1.1
ReplyDeleteNa-try mo na sa ibang device/gadget? Baka sa iisang gadget lang may issue.
DeleteYung akin steady green lang yung signal, hindi siya nag bblink. I've try na icheck dun sa information sa 192.168.1.1 tapos walang nakalagay sa simcard number.. Tapos kapag nag cconnect ko, (FAILURE) din ang nakalagay. Ano po ang alternative gawin? Mag 1week na po kasing ganun. Ni-reset ko na din, yet ganun pa din. Tapos kapag nilipat ko yung simcard sa phone. Na rread naman niya yung simcard...
ReplyDeletePano gagawin kapag steady green lang yung signal? 1 week na, kahit saan ako pumuntang place steady green lang
ReplyDeleteBakit ganon naka UNLISURF995 AKO nagbliblink yung signal pero di gumagana internet sa phone ko
ReplyDeleteTry troubleshooting. See kung may web access pag ibang device. Pag meron, baka phone mo may issue. Also, powercycle (power off/on). Check Wi-Fi settings sa modem.
DeleteHello po. I bought a brand new smart bro pocket wifi just this morning. I read the manual regarding the color indicator, however, based on manual no meaning on yellow lights on the battery and network signal. What does this color mean? Thanks in advance.

ReplyDeleteYellow light indicator? Yung bagong model ba ito? The LTE one? Baka iba na po light indicators nun dun sa model on this post.
DeleteTry calling Smart na lang po for troubleshooting.
Yung sa akin nagbblink yung signal and green naman sya, walang problema sa device ang hindi ko lang talaga magets kung bakit napalitan ko na ang name nya at password wala parin syang internet. Walang data. Kahit nagbblink yung green signal. Pano po to thanks
ReplyDeleteTry isolating the problem. Check mo sa ibang gadget (PC, laptop, smartphone) kung gagana to test kung hindi yung pocket wi-fi mismo ang problema.
Deletehello po, cnu po kaya nakakaalam kung panu gamitin ang internet wifi ng smartbro? gusto ko sana e connect ang smartbro ko sa wifi na nasa sala para lumakas ang signal ng net sa room ko. try ko e connect, connected nman cya pro wala ako internet. paki tut po sa marunong. pldthomedsl po ang internet naming, ip add is 192.168.1.1. sana po may makatulong. salamat.
DeleteWhat do you mean iconnect sa WiFi? Yung Pocket WiFi ba ng SmartBro ang gusto mo iconnect sa isang router?
DeleteNeed help po medyo bago na lte pocket wifi na po ung nabili namin pero palagi pong red yung signal niya the yellow signal which means its connected is not coming back until the day has passed po
ReplyDeleteSince bago naman, try to bring it back to the store for troubleshooting. See also if the device gets a signal sa ibang lugar.
DeleteYung saakin po nag blink naman po yung green light na signal pero di ko maganit. Limited lng nakalagay at kailangan ko mag register sa kahit anong promo para magamit ko. Pano po kaya ito iseset sa regular charges po. Yung regular load mismo ang gagamitin at di na kailangang iunli. Please help po. Thanks po
ReplyDeleteMahal ata ang regular charges? Pero gagana naman dapat yan kahit hindi naka-promo. Try to bring it sa isang Smart store.
DeleteYung sakin po nag biblink nmn ang green light na signal po. Pero limited parin po nakalagay. Kelangan ko pa mag avail sa mga promo na unli para magamit ko yung internet. Pano po kaya iseset sa regular charges po itong smartbro yun pong 5pesos every 15mins. Please help po. Thanks po.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria. Just got myself a pocket WiFi. I noticed mga 4 hours lang battery life. Can I leave it plugged in for 12 hours at most with minimal data usage and not damage the battery? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI do that all the time. :) It's plugged in while on but I remove the charger once the battery is full (battery icon stops blinking). So far, it still works although I don't really use it all the time.
DeleteHi! Yung signal po sa pocket wifi ko sa smartbro is solid na red, hindi po expired ang sim. Sa phone ko na nga niregister. Tapos nung inAccess ko yung GUI nakalagay sa icon ng antenna is no service. Sa far left side nakalagay e CONNECT. Ikini-click ko pero downgraded. Di sya clickable. Ano dapat gawin? Sinubukan ko na sya sa laptop at sa cp wala talaga. Ano po ba problema sa PWF device o sa network? The sim is properly working pag nasa phone.
ReplyDeleteTry to call Smart or bring the pocket WiFi to a local Smart office. If you can access the interface but there's no signal, baka sa unit mismo ang issue.
DeleteHi..
ReplyDeleteUng smart pocket wifi ko pag connect mo sya ung wifi logo s phone may exclamation point tpos pag pinuntahan mo ung wifi setting nakalagay "internet may not be available"
Green ba yung network signal to signify Internet connection?
DeleteBakit po sinsabi internet may not be available...
ReplyDeleteBLINKING green light but no connection
ReplyDeleteCan you try other devices to test if they connect? L
ReplyDeleteHello po ate. Kakabili lang po namin nung smart bro pocketwifi 4g. Solid blue ligt naman po sya tas connected naman na rin sa cp pero pag mag iinternet ka sinasabi no internet connection? Ano po gagawin?
ReplyDeleteHello po ate. Kakabili lang po namin nung smart bro pocketwifi 4g. Solid blue ligt naman po sya tas connected naman na rin sa cp pero pag mag iinternet ka sinasabi no internet connection? Ano po gagawin?
ReplyDeleteHello po ate. Kakabili lang po namin ng smart bro pocket wifi 4g postpaid po. Naka solid blue na po ung wifi signal sa pocket wifi at connected nadin po sya sa cp pero pag magbrobrowse no internet connection po? Ano po dapat gawin?
ReplyDeleteHello po ate. Ung saakin po solid blue po ung light nung sa wifi tapos connected nadn po sya pero pag magbrobrowse no internet connection po? Ano po dapat gawin?
ReplyDeleteOpen the modem interface. See kung connect/disconnect nakalagay. Try other devices din.
DeleteI have a problem, how do you try fixing this? What happened was I was gonna change my password but then I might or might have not have pressed the save changes and then I got disconnected and since then I can't seem to detect my pocket wifi. How do you fix this?
ReplyDeleteMam how long po ang paggamit sa pockwt wifi...kasi po mam 5 hours ko lang po sya nagamit pero lobat na po kagad.
ReplyDeleteMam how long po ang naitatagal ng battery 5 hours ko lang po kasi nagamit
ReplyDeleteI have no idea po how long but based on my experience, fully charged new ones last longer. The activity online also matters. Mas battery draining pag constant ginagamit as well as for web activities with more data transfer/usage, i.e. video streaming, downloading/uploading.
DeleteHi i can't detect my smart bro pocket wifi and the signal bar is blinking as if a device is connected. Can you please tell me how to hard reset my wifi. Tia.
ReplyDeleteWalang hard reset option sa pocket WiFi. Try powercycle. Power on/off, take the battery out. See if other devices can connect. Open the interface and click the connect/disconnect button to refresh the connection as well as to see if there settings are correct.
DeleteUng samen din nag change password kame tapos nun try namen scan di na ma detect nagbiblink lang ung signal.. panu po kaya un??
Deletehello poh ask lang ako bakit ganito nangyari sa pocket wifi ko connected ako at nag bliblink naman yung green ang problema lang sa dashboard walang bar yung signal nya..minsan 1 bar or 2 bar pro wala akong masagap na connection
