My dual wan, dual base station approach was working fine until Maundy Thursday when the antennae pole holding the two subscriber modules collapsed. The installer had used to the existing poll to hold both SMs and I suspect it wasn't strong enough; the engineer that has re-erected it says that a screw had failed but the poles are strong enough to hold more than two SMs.  I won't complain as I availed of the free installation promo for the second connection - but if you are planning to install a similar dual wan system and are paying the P1,000 install fee I'd suggest you insist upon separate poles and have each SM connecting to separate base stations (if practical).

 I also advise you that if you have experienced the  hardships of dealing with Smart Bro's telephone support with one connection - ask your doctor for Valium before attempting to report a problem with your TWO connections.  I wish I had recorded the conversations - they would make for a great sit-com.  I felt sorry for the staff as they obviously had no prepared response that would fit my situation!

I forgot to ask - and perhaps this is not the right place - but does anyone know how to access the canopy status page through a router - dual wan or otherwise?  A method that doesn't involve unplugging anything.

It's a post that probably belongs in  another thread.  But for my ten cents, I'd be happy with that for a single subscription.

well to connect to a game server you have to connect to 1 ip and i dont think trying to connect to 2 will work right since its 2 different ips.



Using a router would solve the problem. then configure your router to use different IP's sample is 192.168.1.xx - 192.168.1.xx to any IP you desire. The "x" is the only thing you can change. But pls take note of sharing connection to the original IP add may cause differently in connection speed. This is applicable for Linksys router.

UPDATE:  For the past two weeks I have been regularly achieving a download rate of 1.5 to 2Mbps with my set-up.  Torrents have always performed well, but I'm also getting these download rates with popular downloads such as Nvidia drivers. However if I run a standard speed test on either of my connections I'm only averaging around the mid 400Kbps range.  Its as though the sum of the parts is greater than it should be.   Will keep watching and will report back if this changes.

Hi, I'll be installing a myDSL (Residential ^^) line aside from my current Smart Bro line.. and I'll be needing a Dual WAN router for that..

Is it true that I'll get better bandwidth/ bandwidth management if I use Linksys routers?

I'm currently looking at TP-Link R480T++ but I might change to Linksys if it really is true that it can give me better bandwidth..

Listen, HOLD IT. Check out some bad experiences of the Linksys dual wan router users first!
http://www.google.com/search?q=linksys+RT042+experience

Try to google "dual wan router review" first.

After I read Joe Mehaffy's review, I finally bought a Peplink Balance 300 a year ago.  It has been working flawlessly until now!  The greatest thing is that I don't even notice its existence after it was set up.  The Peplink people also keep releasing firmware updates. 

Don't waste your time and money on the crap.
