P1 WiMAX DV-230 Broadband experience

I once wrote a special entry for Celcom broadband users who experience problems with their broadband services. In this post, I also share with readers some tips that they can use to deal with Celcom broadband problems such as broken lines, has no connection, slow line, and a few other tips again.

Modem DV-230 taken at HQ P1 Wimax

To post this time, I would like to share with you some tips that you can use if you have a problem with P1 Wimax services.

Before I go further, let me tell here that I am not customer support or customer service P1 Wimax. I am not an employee or have any contact with the P1 Wimax. What I share here there is no direct connection between me and the P1 Wimax but the relationship between a user and a service provider.

I have been using P1 Wimax broadband service almost two years. During my use of their services, there is some small and big problems I've ever experienced. Not only that, I also have read some of the comments given by P1 Wimax users are very satisfied with the services they provide.

It is difficult to get a 100% free service of the problem. But the important thing is, how the services are tackling the problem and also serve their customers hassle.

Between problems P1 Wimax

Here are some problems I've ever encountered and how do I overcome this problem.

Modem LED blinking red - This happens because you do not acquire signal modem or IP address of the Access Point P1 Wimax. It usually occurs when a heavy rain storm together.

To solve this problem, what I always do is, close and re-install the P1 Wimax modem. After the modem is restarted, the LED will be green again. Sometimes it is so, sometimes not. I'm not sure the actual factor, however, this problem occurs the maximum is around 30 to 60 minutes.

If you have more than that, you'd better call the P1 Wimax for more information.

Internet connection very slow - Some time P1 Wimax Internet connection would be too slow and very slow. Once in a day, I had to wait about 3 minutes just to open the Google website only. That is just Google. Not to mention Facebook, Daily News and several other websites.

When this happens, what I will be sure to first is bandwidth quota allowed by P1 Wimax. Each package you subscribe to will set how much bandwidth you can use. I took the package is Home - Plus where my quota to only 20GB a month.

To check the quota P1 Wimax, you should login to the site P1 Wimax Self Care . There you can see the balance of your P1 Wimax bandwidth package. Apabilah all bandwidth used, P1 Wimax Internet connection you will start to slow down so you will feel disgusted with P1 Wimax.

But if you run out of bandwidth, P1 Wimax offer refill packages where you can add bandwidth for RM10 for 2GB of bandwidth. And expiration date 2GB for 30 days.

Internet online frequent breaks - Since 2 - 3 months ago, the line P1 Wimax I always lost. And it's been getting worse over the last 2 weeks. Every 1 minute, online P1 Wimax will be cut off and then it will reconnect automatically.

Although Internet connection reconnected automatically, but keep in mind at the time you are making an online payment through Maybank2U, and suddenly you lose your Internet connection. To not want to, you had to go through the payment process as Maybank2U will kick you out because you use the IP address has changed.

If it happened once or twice, it may not be a problem to re-enter the username, password, and payment details in Maybank2U. But if you're 6-7 or 8 times occur, people do not get angry, be angry.

Although I have restart and reset the modem, the problem is still recurring. And I am advised by Customer Support to to their headquarters to replace the damaged modem with another modem of the same model.

But who replaced the modem is not a new modem. It is just a modem that was used by previous users but still in good condition. How do I know? Because I got this modem there are scratches and impact have been used are clearly visible on the body at the USB modem and wifi P1 Wimax.

If observed carefully, visible scratches on the modem

To whom to contact?

If you have a problem with the P1 Wimax, you can contact Customer Support them in several ways. Among them are:

• Contact Customer Careline P1, 1-300-800-888
• P1 LiveChat on their website
• On Twitter, @ P1Cares
• Or by mail, careline@p1.com.my

I've been using all four methods. But I encourage you to report problems P1 Wimax using Twitter (if you have a smartphone with 3G Internet connectivity). Feedback is much faster and we have a record of our conversation with the P1 Wimax.

But if you do not have an Internet connection but that depends on P1 Wimax, it is easy if you mengubungi online Careline their 1-300-800-888. However, you should be patient and remain calm to listen to them one by one operator commands before you can connect to Customer Support. That line, even if you do not cut off your line when connecting operator (never happened to me).

There are some other problems that I have ever encounter with the P1 Wimax. But only this that I can remember. God willing, if there is additional space and other ideas, I will share the tips in this post.

Although there are problems and this, but I'm still satisfied with their service. Especially on the Customer Support an efficient and quick to help.

Expected length entries in some way help you solve problems with P1 Wimax.

Securing P1 Wimax DV230 WiFi Password

I have been using P1 Wimax since August 2009. Personally, it is the best Internet broadband that we have in Malaysia. For Home Plus package, the average connection speed is around 120kbps-170kbps. But there were a few times where the speed dropped to 20-50kbps, and even sometimes it disconnected abruptly. If you are experiencing broadband connection with P1 Wimax connection, feel free to read my previous article here.

The purpose I write this post is to help you to secure your P1 Wimax WiFi modem. It is actually very easy for unauthorized users to gain access into your P1 Wimax network if you did not change the modem default password, WEP key, and Access Control List. In this How-To guide, I will show you the step by step on how to secure your P1 Wimax WiFi modem. Let’s begin…

Change the default password

By default, the username and password for P1 Wimax modem is,

Username: admin
Password: admin123

Please change the default password before someone else gain access to your modem and change it for you. To do that,

1. Go to http://10.1.1.254 by using your favourite web browser.
2. Enter the default username, admin, and password, admin123.
3. Click on Personalization at the top left of the page.
4. Enter your Old Password, admin123, and New Password.
5. Click Apply.

Change WiFi WEP key

Change P1 Wimax modem default WEP key

After you have changed the default password, you also need to change P1 Wimax WiFi WEP key IF you are using DV230 modem. The modem is look like this,

P1 Wimax DV230 modem

As you may already know, by default P1 Wimax DV230 modem WiFi is using WEP key that is easy to guess. For an example, let’s say your P1 Wimax WiFi SSID is 056789. If the user didn’t change the default WEP key, the key is 567891FFB0.

SSID: 056789
Remove 0 at the front, 56789
Combine with 1FFB0, and your P1 Wimax WiFi WEP key is: 567891FFB0

To change the default WEP key,

1. Go to http://10.1.1.254 by using your favourite web browser.
2. Enter your username, admin, and password.
3. Click on Networking at the top right of the page.
4. Click on WIFI.
5. Click Next.
6. Under Use Default, choose User Defined.
7. And change the WEP key under Security Setting.
8. Click Apply.

Note: Please ensure to follow these rules to set your WEP key.

64 bit

• 5 ASCII characters (A-Z or a mixture of A-Z and 0-9)
• 10 Hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F or mixture of both 0-9 & A-F only)

128 bit

• 13 ASCII characters (A-Z or a mixture of A-Z and 0-9)
• 26 Hexadecimal characters (0-9,A-F or mixture of both 0-9 & A-F only)

Only allow specific MAC addresses to connect

Only allow specific MAC addresses to connect into your WiFi network

Even though you have changed the default P1 Wimax WEP key, there might be some possibilities where someone can crack the WEP key and use your WiFi connection without your acknowledge. To prevent this, you can set your P1 Wimax WiFi modem to only allow specific MAC addresses to connect into your P1 Wimax WiFi network.

Let’s say your iPhone MAC address is F8:1E:DF:43:49:A9.

1. Go to http://10.1.1.254 using your favourite web browser.
2. Enter your username, admin, and password.
3. Click on Networking at the top right of the page.
4. Click on WIFI.

Globe Telecom Philippines is one of the biggest wireless internet service provider in the country that cater not only 2G and 3G network but as well the 4G WiMAX and the future fastest wireless broadband wavelength the LTE broadband. The WiMAX giant ISP already have learned it mistake from the past acquiring WiMAX modem from Huawei such as BM621, BM625, BM622/i, BM622m and the BM23m whose CPEs  are prone to MAC address cloning which they tag the nation as Free Internet Country by the netizens. No wonder this year Globe Telco is shifting its wireless modem from Green Packet Berhad Malaysia product model:OD235 instead of from Huawei Technologies, the new CPE that they are acquiring is a dual band device that is capable as WiMAX modem and as an LTE modem too.

To access the web graphical user interface (webGUI) of the Green Packet OD-235 aka Globe WiMAX LTE modem OD235, just open any of your fave browser and point it http://192.168.15.1 this just similar to DV-235T aka myBRO and the OX-230 of Smart WiMAX outdoor unit CPE.

For your information the Globe WiMAX LTE OD-235 wireless modem aka Green Packet OD235 is a WiMAX modem CPE and as well a LTE wireless modem, bear in mind that this CPE device can not be use simultaneously or both modem at the same time to connect to the network such as for the WiMAX and LTE. Unlike Smartphone that is a DualSIM it is possible to connect to the Telco network at the same time or simultaneously whereas the OD235 device it is not possible and there is no way. If you prefer to connect to WiMAX then you can not hook to LTE otherwise disconnect it from WiMAX and hook it to LTE. Another thing to distinguish is WiMAX authenticate via MAC address whereas LTE uses SIM.

Sample MAC address Authentication:

WiMAX Will Outpace LTE in Next Few Years?

According to a recent report by In-Stat, people are shifting focus from wireless 4G technology and ultra-mobile broadband (UMB) to LTE and WiMAX.

Both 4G technologies, meaning those technologies that are expected to meet the requirements of IMT-Advanced, are not even close to becoming available commercially In-Stat reports.

LTE Advanced and 802.16m WiMAX are being tailored to offer 100Mbps mobile throughput and 1Gbps stationary throughput. These extremely high throughput capabilities are predicted to be an important part of the ITU’s IMT-Advanced requirements.

"Mobile WiMAX effectively came on the scene in 2006 with South Korea’s WiBro; the earliest commercial LTE deployment will be in 2009," says Gemma Tedesco, In-Stat analyst. "Overall, In-Stat expects that mobile WiMAX will ultimately outpace LTE over the next few years due to timing of network roll-outs."

In-Stat research discovered that the success of the Sprint/Clearwire mobile WiMAX roll-out should largely affect whether or not large worldwide operators will launch mobile WiMAX.

The high-tech market research company also found that mobile WiMAX and LTE will represent only a small portion of total 2G/3G/4G cellular subscriptions in 2013, with GSM/EDGE/GPRS expected to make up more than 55 percent of the total 4.8 billion subscriptions.

In addition, HSPA may become 802.16e WiMAX’s true competitor, and also may setback LTE rollouts.

In-Stat’s research report, "The Road to 4G: LTE and WiMAX Lead the Way Worldwide," covers the worldwide market for 4G wireless technology. It provides predictions for global mobile WiMAX and LTE by product type. It also offers an analysis of the developing marketplace for these technologies, including deployment plans of mobile operators.

Technology vendors, service providers, technology professionals and market specialists, worldwide, rely on In-Stat’s experienced staff and in-depth research to support critical business, product and technology decisions. In-Stat’s insights are derived from both a deep technology understanding and comprehensive research, which examines each segment of the value chain for each market.

WiMAX enjoys its day in the sun

New data from TeleGeography’s 4G Research Service show that there were more than 600 WiMAX networks either live or at the planning/deployment stage by the end of 2009. The number of WiMAX deployments significantly exceeds HSPA and LTE deployments. Only around 300 cellular networks have been upgraded with HSPA technology and fewer than 70 operators have committed to deploying LTE equipment.

However, only a relatively small number of these WiMAX systems offer wide coverage areas; most only offer local or regional service. Late 2009 saw the introduction of the world’s first commercial LTE networks, with TeliaSonera beginning to offer limited services in Stockholm and Oslo, and 2010 is expected to bring further service launches in Europe, the US and Asia. TeleGeography analyst Peter Bell comments, "While the footprint of WiMAX worldwide is still growing steadily, LTE deployments should gain momentum in 2010 and 2011. With LTE receiving strong backing from major cellular operators and equipment vendors, we project that LTE subscribers will ramp up far more quickly than WiMAX subscribers."

Nevertheless, WiMAX will continue to grow. There is still significant demand for wireless broadband access in developing countries and in rural areas of developed markets. Moreover, the next incarnation of WiMAX – 802.16m – is already on the horizon and promises to arrive well ahead of the next generation of LTE. Said Bell, "The answer to the question ’LTE or WiMAX?’ is both. LTE and WiMAX both have roles to play, and both technologies will be with us for years to come." - source

Compact BAW Filters Help Separate WiMAX & WiFi

Wireless networks bring a great deal of convenience to the home, office, and factory, although available spectrum has always been a valuable commodity. In the case of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and high-speed WiMAX networks, for example, devices occupy the same general bandwidth centered at around 2.5 GHz. To keep things straight, Skyworks Solutions has developed a pair of high-performance filters based on bulk-acoustic-wave (BAW) technology.

In essence, model SKY33107 passes WiMAX signals from 2.495 to 2.690 GHz with minimal loss while rejecting WLAN signals from IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless transmitters operating from 2.400 to 2.473 GHz. Conversely, model SKY33108 passes WLAN signals with minimal attenuation while suppressing signals from WiMAX transmitters (see figure).

Model SKY33107 is designed to pass WLAN signals and stop WiMAX signals. When tested with 0-dBm signals matched to the filter's 50-ohm ports, it shows insertion loss of typically 2.5 dB for the passband of 2.400 to 2.473 GHz, with passband ripple of typically 0.5 dB. The filter, which is designed for operating temperatures from -20 to +85C, exhibits passband return loss of typically 12 dB and is rated for withstanding voltages to 100 V. 

Over the frequency band of 2.495 to 2.690 GHz, the BAW filter typical rejects WiMAX transmitter signals by 40 dB. Available in a lead-free, RoHS-compatible package, the model SKY33107 BAW filter is designed to handle maximum input signal levels to +28 dBm. The filter meets Class 1 electrostatic-discharge (ESD) requirements per Human Body Model (HBM) conditions.

Model SKY33108 is designed for use in the 2.495 to 2.690 GHz WiMAX band for transmitter applications that also contain WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n transmitters. When tested with 0-dBm input signals matched to the 50-ohm impedance of the filter's ports and at room temperature (+25C), the filter shows typical insertion loss of only 2 dB across the WiMAX transmitter passband of 2.495 to 2.690 GHz with passband ripple of typically only 0.5 dB. 

The passband return loss is typically 12 dB. The rejection of WLAN transmitter signals across the frequency band from 2.400 to 2.473 GHz is typically 40 dB. As with the model SKY33107 filter, the SKY33108 is rated for withstanding voltage to 100 V and has a maximum input-power rating of +41 dBm. It is also rated for Class 1 ESD per the HBM and is designed for operating temperatures from -20 to +85C. It is also available in a lead-free, RoHS-compatible package measuring a mere 3 x 3 mm.

The tiny filters are fabricated using semiconductor wafer fabrication techniques similar to those already used at Skyworks. The use of semiconductor fabrication methods results in low cost and repeatable performance from lot to lot. In support of higher volumes, Skyworks recently announced that it had approved the Taiwanese foundry, WIN Semiconductors (www.winfoundry. com), as a foundry partner and had started working with WIN to provide Skyworks with GaAs foundry processing services to meet heightened product demands.
