Smart Bro Pocket WiFi Initial Setup and Test

After unboxing the Smart Bro Pocket WiFi I ordered through the Smart Online Store, it's time for a test.


Smart Bro Pocket WiFi
these are what the box contains


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. 

Devices used to test data connection:
  • 2 smart phones
  • 2 tablets
  • 1 laptop

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-PSKMake 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.

  2. 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. :)

  3. If 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.

  4. What's the problem with the green light, it's open but not blinking ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Are 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.

      Delete
    2. Same 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.

      Delete
    3. Na-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.

    4. ^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.

      Have you tried contacting Smart?

      Delete
    5. ^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.

    6. Same 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.

    1. Can 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.

    1. Anong 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.

    1. Actually, 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.

      Try calling *1888 on a Smart sim for tech assistance from Smart Bro.

    1. Blinking 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.

    3. Pag 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.

      Delete
    4. First, try to clean the SIM card port from dust and dirt or have a tech do so.

      Sa 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.

    1. Since bago naman, try to bring it back to the store for troubleshooting. See also if the device gets a signal sa ibang lugar.

  63. Yung 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

    1. Mahal ata ang regular charges? Pero gagana naman dapat yan kahit hindi naka-promo. Try to bring it sa isang Smart store.

  65. Hi 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!

    1. I 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.

  66. Hi! 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.

    1. Try 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.

    1. I 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.

  78. Hi 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.

    1. Walang 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.
