hope can update the 1st page


some tips to those suffering low speeds (maybe due to base station congestion, etc).

1. Do not put your modem in front of a window with tint. seems to have an aversion to tinted windows, this modem.
2. Make a list of all the base stations in your area. take the modem on a field trip on different parts of your house, then login to the modem http://10.1.1.254 (admin/admin123) to take down the BS ID/Base station Id. Also take note of the location of the modem if you get a different BS ID.
You can also use the coverage checking map to see which direction you may have to face the modem to.
3. Disable any QoS service in your router (my previous router, DIR-300 screwed my wimax connection when i turn on the QoS)
4. Do not limit your possible wimax modem location to "just facing out of a window", sometime facing a wall there can be signal also (like in my case facing the inside of the condo at times)
5. Once you have the list in #2, do some observation per base station.
a. do a ping www.yahoo.com -t test, if it is normal you should be getting 200-400ms reply and only 1 "Request time out" every
once in a while
b. do a speedtest
6. Position is key. The modem signal can change if you even move it 1 degree or even just centimeters from where it is, or even just adding some height to the modem (like putting it on top of a book, etc)


Hope this helps, this is what i normally do when i get low speed with P1.


and btw, these are the base stations that I know that are suxx:

00:00:12:A0:01:63 - used to be good, but right now when i connect high ping
00:00:12:A0:05:72 - said to be under maintenance, also used to be good too, at the moment off peak is ok- come 9pm here comes the lag.

these base stations are ok.
00:00:12:A0:00:52 - currently using this one, getting green signal too but modem is at the balcony (where our clothes are being hung to dry)
00:00:12:A0:00:41 - sometimes able to connect to this one, also good.

hahah you use tiang letrik ka as modem??

haha that is the beyond broadband la. its for company. they use special modem
