First I must tell I'm not expert, but I can provide few useful step for you to fine tuning....
1.) Login the P1 modem interface, goto http://10.1.1.254
username: admin
password: admin123

2.) Best Spot for wimax signal: once login adjust your P1 modem to find best spot (normally near window or outside window) and point to "Wimax Base station" direction (which you can see from modem interface the "RSSI" will keep changing, the lower "RSSI" the better signal it is, keep trying until you get lowerest RSSI)

3.) BT user: must do port forwarding (refer to the picture below)

4.) DMZ Zone: Put your own IP (online gaming, FTP,.... others) under DMZ zone but once your IP under DMZ zone, you don't have protection meaning you're expose yourself without firewall, do it with extra caution (refer to below picture)

5.) Online Gaming: If you know your online game port number just simply do port forwarding so that you don't need put yourself in DMZ zone, it'll help latency problem

6.) Goto uTorrent preference use port: 12345 (example, u can use any port u like, refer to below picture on how to use certain port)

7.) Use Router to share with others: if you use router to share bandwidth you'll need goto router setting interface (normally is http://192.168.1.1 username/password: admin / admin) change your "Internet connection type" to DHCP or automatic or whatever router will assign IP to your PC because all the authentication will do within that P1 modem itself. (refer to picture below)

Hope can help you all....

P/S: forgot to tell you guys, raining do affect the signal, try don't put any electronic device (Wifi router, TV, microwave....) near this p1 modem

Tips: Always check your account usage, for example 1200 Package with 20GB (upload+download) whether exceed the quota, once it exceed P1 will start to cap your speed, btw you still able to get full speed during mid-night.



Guys, something P1 will give when your birthday coming ~~

Updated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A quick tips maybe can help you improve your speed which is pointing direction to the nearest base station.

Scenario 1:
Each CPE modem will search for frequency 2375000, 2380000, 2385000. If it happen your area have 3 base station nearby and your CPE pointing is in the middle of 2 base station.

Result: it'll cause frequent disconnect and reconnect, because it'll always search for best connectivity (Technology limitation)

Work around: Call / Email their Customer support ask them to plot out the base station by the map then you'll know which direction you should point to.


Scenario 2: Bandwidth limitation on base station is xxMbps, each base station connect to internet backbone have the limitation, let's say it's 10Mbps and 1 Wiggy max capacity already 10Mbps can suck all the bandwidth. If you find out the base station you connected have very good (green light) signal but very slow internet speed. This could be the reason

Work around: Try point to another base station even the connection is weaker(orange, red light) you could get better internet speed & bandwidth

How to know you're connect to different base station ??
Simple, just check the frequency you're connected at 1st then change direction or position. Check again, if it happen connect to different frequency it's different base station.

hi yong
I'm finding a sweep spot for my P1 modem as well (got the login from u d!) but I would wanna clarify one thing; When you said "the lower RSSI, the better". Now, my RSSI signal is -60.30 (negative 60.30) and at some spot it was -45.10 (negative 45.10). As its a negative integer, in this context which one is 'lower'? Tx much

-45.10 is lower

ok, got it. Tx!

As now P1 Wimax technology is not mature enough yet, each P1 Base station only can support up to 1km and others wimax ISP can go up to 5 ~ 10km like korea .... also MIMO is not yet implement yet.

Hopefully we can see some improvement after they implement MIMO
Also can improve on their Reseller, customer support.... Please put some technical people ~~

Nothing helps if you do have ID and password, what dif?

hi yong,
I noticed this glitch a few times and do share with us if you're experiencing the same. I have a few bckground d/l Tab and simultaneously I hv a Firefox Tab wth the modem user interface open to monitor the RSSI, etc, etc. Now, whenever I close this particular modem user interface Tab, the entire connection freeze. No incoming/outgoing packets. Modem status still looks healthy thought. I've tried this a few times to validate the glitch. Comments?

I don't have this experience before, but I do same situation when I disable routing feature on the P1 modem, my pc will get public IP but connection seems got problem.

note: it shouldn't have any problem when you close the modem user interface. Try to do some testing keep pinging certain domain name / IP example: ping google.com -t and close the Tab , see whether got problem or not

Seems like i got problem to do port forwarding and not too sure where the problem occur. Im using Belkin router F5D7230-4

I follow your guide on the p1 modem and set all the ports that i required to open, and enter the LAN IP as 10.1.1.1 but i dont know how to set my router to assign WAN IP automatically. I click to use dynamic setting, and it asked me to enter the host name, i tried p1.com.my but it get me error of invalid host ><

i check with the port and it not open at all

Thanks. Already PM you

Are you P1 staff?

already PM you as well. Thanks

Can this guide solve frequent disconnection as well?

I have returned my modem to them already. They told me that my area is not in coverage so that is why I have such disconnection..

huh ? no coverage ? so weird ah. not tested the signal before subscribe ? now i waiting for yong888 to fine tune my signal.

i have sporadic disconnection too. You'll notice ya d/l bar move very fast BUT then it just stopped there momentarily, and resumes. Weird

PM sent . P1 slows down these few days

the hostname should be your PC name

this's due to wireless signal not stable.... technology not mature enough yet

well i still cant get it right, guess i ask for guide here

Im using wifi router Belkin F5D7230-4 and connected with 2 PC through cable

Currently my LAN IP is set to DHCP mode, so my LAN IP is 192.168.2.2. When i do port forwarding, i enter all the port number and it will assign 192.168.2.2 for the port while under Wimax setting, it falls under 10.1.1.1 so is this the problem? Anyway i can do this fine?

my RSSI is -39.81. but port forwarding i just insert 12345 hehe. tks.

I think you'll need to 2 port forwarding,
1.) Port forward from wimax modem to router (IP : 10.1.1.1) because P1 modem itself is router
2.) port forward from Router to your PC (192.168.2.2)

Wow ~ -39.81 consider very very signal
