I bought it on November 12, problems appeared on November 13, firmware updated on November 14, using it again on November 15. Not a single thing has changed whatsoever, it still reboots itself....
Another problem: My wifi has no software update in the router section.. It only has: CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT REBOOT ROUTER POWER OFF ROUTER TIME SETTING SD CARD FILE SD CARD MANAGEMENT... What should I do sir?
i bought it yesterday. the first time i use it the signal is good it can detect 700mhz lte but after 5mins of using, it automatically reboot then after that it can no longer detect any signal even 2g. dose anyone here encountered same problem??
I bought the same modem and upgrade it. Battery life can easily drain I also notice that the version of the software under router setting/ software update didnt change after updating. the old version has a v9 at end of the name and this update has v10 and yet I can still see v9 after the update but Im satisfied with the net speed.
How can you tell that it's already upgraded to the new firmware? Mine's less than a week old and when i tried to check on the router tab (settings) the upgrade option on the left was no longer there. When i checked the firmware version on the dashboard tab, its says it's still.. version 1.
Hi Hope you can read this and help. I have a PLDT homebro ultera modem (LTE modem) that I do not use anymore since I switched to Fiber. Can I use the old modem as a wifi repeater without using Lan cables? I would like it to work as a wifi range extender. Hope you can help.
good day sir. Im having a problem with my device. After i updated my device by the use of smart bro app in google playstore. It just stuck at the home screen (Welcome to Smartbro) Please help me. thanks
if you want to still enjoy time base internet just like flexitime, you have to load a regular load via smartbro menu then broload. just tell your retailer. options are: Broload30, broload50, broload60, broload100.. etc. your sim need to be smartbro sim. because you will get free 30 minutes timebase internet for every 10pesos broload. example: Broload30 you will get 90minutes free internet.
Can you please do a battery life, temperature, speed comparison between Evoluzn FX PRL3 vs the ZTE MF920TS (I think this is Smart's latest). Thank you.
Hi GA I have a general question about pocket wifi, when you test them you are using a smart phone which can be set up as a wfi hotspot in itself, so what are the advanrages of carrying a seperate device when you could conect a laptop or tablet through your phone
+Sibat 777 good question :) our phones can act as hotspots but it drains the battery and most phones get extremely hot. It's okay for short time periods but not practical for multiple devices sharing a connection over a longer time period. My iPhone 6 couldn't even charge as fast as the battery was bring depleted while using the hotspot.
......the usual......last week was terrible......sudden disconnections occurred even during past midnight........ then they offer us Fibr for an additional P1k or so......... :(
Hi Gadget Addict, this might be late inquiry about this device. but have you tried to use the SD Card feature? I'm planning to use the SD Card as additional Storage via network/ as per other Hotspot, you can use the samba to connect use as Mini NAS I thought that it couldn't read the SD Card but when i switch to USB mode, windows was able to detect it. any idea what format or connection type it use via network? Thanks~
Gonna Update my FX PR3L tomorrow and my current version is v07 it's so unstable I can't play Mobile Legends due to high spiking ping. I hope updating it will fix the issue.
I downloaded the upgrade and followed the steps. I wish i never did it. It has gotten worse! How can i put it back to its original firmware? I've already factory reset it, it has the same firmware. What to do?
Why is it possible with this WiFi to display the SSID and WiFi password by holding the power button for 5 seconds? It is completely insecure, anyone can do this and then connect to it.
i have same pocket wifi but my problem is...its consuming data even its turn off :( 1 week turn off cause were using their promo AT60 for my kids so we didnt use it for a week with 2gb left then when we use it again it said 19mb left..WFT! did you encounter these can of issue?
+Sean Marcos that won't be a problem with the pocket wifi... off is off. Are you sure no one used it when you're not around or removed the sim and used it in another device?
Gadget Addict very sure no one uses it because we left it home :) anyway thanks i guess i will just go to smart to make verification..cause this past few days i always recieved a message from smart that they are upgrading their system..hope that its not the cause :) more power to you and God bless ^_^
May heating issues ata tong unit na to. sakin nag overheat tapos nung iON ko sya hindi na gumagana yung battery indicator. d ko alam kung battery ung sira
If you want maximum bang for buck, something from Romoss. Just make sure it's genuine. If you want something with higher quality, consider Ravpower or Anker or Aukey.
Gadget Addict Thank you sir, what about asus zenpower sir? one thing, I downloaded an app called amepere and i tried to differentiate my two usb cables. One cable does 470 Ma and the other one does 1120 Ma, does this really matters?
G.A, thank you so much bro for our smart bro LTE unit it's no longer restarting even reboot to because of this video from to your channel bro and then God bless bro thanks again keep it up bro ok. 😇👋😊👊
I've also experienced sudden rebooting and even auto shut down while in use (this is less than 24 hours since i bought it). Now, I have just updated the firmware. I will be observing it for a few days. I hope it really works.
bushido any updates chief? How’s the “auto-shutdown”’issue? Bought mine the other night and it’s pissing me off since I can’t download my stuff well. Sigh
Teng M.Y. Looks like the update didn't do much for me either. It does not shut down as much now. I am not really sure what happens but when it shutdowns, i've noticed that the unit is quite warm. Maybe it is still an overheating issue. FYI BTW, I have returned/replaced the first unit that I got. Updated it too but still having problems with it. My old Huawei e5573 still works waaaay better.
+Ryan Paul Torcuato that's good to hear! I'm hoping for more positive feedback from other users so I can really feel confident it's completely fixed :D
Why do I need a pocket WiFi for? Can I not achieve the same speed on my phone? Maybe TELCOs just want to make money and throttling the bandwidth so we can buy these gadgets. How come we pay for Internet bundles and it expires? It's my money that I paid for. And the unused expired data bundle where does it go-probably to be resold again. Just a thought. ;)
+Christopher Penafuerte the benefit of pocket wifis is when you have multiple devices you want to get connected at the same time while using a single data promo.
still nothings change on firmware upgrade and its slow the connections still in auto off
Thank you! This video tutorial was very helpful. My unit no longer reboot itself after I completed the whole process.
I bought it on November 12, problems appeared on November 13, firmware updated on November 14, using it again on November 15.
Not a single thing has changed whatsoever, it still reboots itself....
Another problem: My wifi has no software update in the router section..
It only has:
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
REBOOT ROUTER
POWER OFF ROUTER
TIME SETTING
SD CARD FILE
SD CARD MANAGEMENT...
What should I do sir?
i bought it yesterday. the first time i use it the signal is good it can detect 700mhz lte but after 5mins of using, it automatically reboot then after that it can no longer detect any signal even 2g. dose anyone here encountered same problem??
Celsie Balayo ya me too, just recieve it awhile ago, and has the same problem.
Yep me too
Anong version ng pocket wifi nyo?
madali lng yan i fix ang auto reboot ...
I bought the same modem and upgrade it. Battery life can easily drain I also notice that the version of the software under router setting/ software update didnt change after updating. the old version has a v9 at end of the name and this update has v10 and yet I can still see v9 after the update but Im satisfied with the net speed.
Mine has no software upgrade how do i do this 😭😭😭

the problem is when i use ookla speed test my pocket wifi is restaring whether on v09 or v14..
Hi there were no configuration management on my unit.
Need help!
How can you tell that it's already upgraded to the new firmware?
Mine's less than a week old and when i tried to check on the router tab (settings) the upgrade option on the left was no longer there.
When i checked the firmware version on the dashboard tab, its says it's still.. version 1.
I also got this problem of rebooting after a few minutes and it goes on and on up until there was no display on the screen anymore.
I just got mine this day and afterni installed the app on Google Play Store it updated and it says v14 in the settings. So far it doesn't reboot.

How to find the one time pin? Thank you.
sir why there is no option for the software upgrade? but when im checking the dashboard. software version is just NZ_MF_FX-PR3_AT2.22_SB_V01?
I assume your modem is new out of the box.. noticed same to mine, but i already downgraded to v9 and already openline.
@@markrolandbaltazar1230 how
Is there a chance that they can remove the username password and number cause it can see on the screen
Bro how to downgrade from this version to the default or previous firmware?
Where can we get the upgrade?
Is there a firm ware update to their other mifi? And also to the smart home wifi evolution
Thanks bro. The stability was fixed. 💯

Is this working even if i already unlock and v14.? I just want to try this bcoz of heating my pocket wifi.
Omg i badly needed this fix. Thank you!
+Curt Bernardo are you seeing improvements already? :)
good day sir.
Im having a problem with my device.
After i updated my device by the use of smart bro app in google playstore. It just stuck at the home screen (Welcome to Smartbro)
Please help me. thanks
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful indeed! Followed the instructions and works like a charm :)
what promos do you subscribe the most for that smartbro pocket wifi?
Before, flexitime, but now they removed it :(
if you want to still enjoy time base internet just like flexitime, you have to load a regular load via smartbro menu then broload. just tell your retailer. options are: Broload30, broload50, broload60, broload100.. etc. your sim need to be smartbro sim. because you will get free 30 minutes timebase internet for every 10pesos broload. example: Broload30 you will get 90minutes free internet.
Hello I can do with using a cellphone just because we do not have a PC / computer, can you reply? Thank you.
What firmware should i download
Can you please do a battery life, temperature, speed comparison between Evoluzn FX PRL3 vs the ZTE MF920TS (I think this is Smart's latest). Thank you.
note sir, i downloaded the new firmware thru cp only.
it will automatically reboot while the upgrade is not done yet why?
Do you still experience heating problems with the unit after the firmware update?
I never really considered it as having any heat issues. It gets as hot/cold as any other pocket WIFI I have from other brands :)
Well, I guess the heating is normal. Thanks.
is this normal to shut it off automatically especially when it is hot?
It will automatically reboot while it still upgrading, and the upgrade is not yet done. Why?
how do i update my v01 to v09 pls
Are malls from other islands on your to do list? Like sm seaside mall cebu.
Sure :) I saw Seaside being built and I want to see the finished product.

Thanks, i hadn't considered these points
For now theres no software ugrade in the system how can i fix my weak internet connection
......i wish there's a possibility of a firmware fix or upgrade for PLDT HomeDSL wifi without additional cost too...... :(
+Erik de la cruz what's up with it?
......the usual......last week was terrible......sudden disconnections occurred even during past midnight........ then they offer us Fibr for an additional P1k or so......... :(
+Erik de la cruz that's more likely to be line or data center problems than your modem.
Can i subscribed in giga 99 then use it as pocketwifi
sir diko mahanap ung cp number ng pocketwifi namin puro unknown po
Hi Gadget Addict, this might be late inquiry about this device. but have you tried to use the SD Card feature? I'm planning to use the SD Card as additional Storage via network/ as per other Hotspot, you can use the samba to connect use as Mini NAS

Yes I used it, it was awful. So so so incredibly slow.
Gadget Addict
Yeah.. i was able to use it as nas using solid explorer and connect it.. though its just 200kBps.. hahahha
Gonna Update my FX PR3L tomorrow and my current version is v07 it's so unstable I can't play Mobile Legends due to high spiking ping. I hope updating it will fix the issue.
arvin rimorin how was it?
did it fix the unstable ping? i cant play ml too
How to download the new firmware
Thanks for the link it save my pocket wifi
I downloaded the upgrade and followed the steps. I wish i never did it. It has gotten worse! How can i put it back to its original firmware? I've already factory reset it, it has the same firmware. What to do?
where you able to downgraded it? how? thx.
Why is it possible with this WiFi to display the SSID and WiFi password by holding the power button for 5 seconds? It is completely insecure, anyone can do this and then connect to it.
yeah thanks for the upgrade links the restarting problem is fixed i really thought my device is a defective one thanks bro
sir di namamatay pocket wifi nyo pag gamit?
oo hindi na...yung wala pang upgrade ilang minuto pa lang patay agad akala ko nga factory defect,ayun salamat sa upgrade tuloy-tuloy na ang gamit
atsaka mas madali syang makalagap ng 4g lte signal compara doon sa walang upgrade kahit medyo malayo sa syudad...
ganon din saken as of now.. diko pa inuupdate pero sana mas ok pag iupdate ko na
siguro gawa ng one bar lang ang lte samin kaya laging nag rrestart ang wifi ko
i have same pocket wifi but my problem is...its consuming data even its turn off :( 1 week turn off cause were using their promo AT60 for my kids so we didnt use it for a week with 2gb left then when we use it again it said 19mb left..WFT! did you encounter these can of issue?

how about the home wifi any firm ware updates?
I believe the home wifi updates itself automatically. I'm not sure when the last update was. I'm not aware of any common problems with the home wifi.
May heating issues ata tong unit na to. sakin nag overheat tapos nung iON ko sya hindi na gumagana yung battery indicator. d ko alam kung battery ung sira
Hi! Is it safe to plug my pocket wifi to pc for 5 hours and above?
it will stop charging when full
Worst thing happened after I upgrade to new firmware I can't use it properly timely shutdown my pocketwifi..
i bought smart lte but its useless and its always automatically off and the connection is very slow

Hello sir, if may i ask? can you recommend me a powerbank under 1k php? thanks
If you want maximum bang for buck, something from Romoss. Just make sure it's genuine. If you want something with higher quality, consider Ravpower or Anker or Aukey.
Gadget Addict Thank you sir, what about asus zenpower sir? one thing, I downloaded an app called amepere and i tried to differentiate my two usb cables. One cable does 470 Ma and the other one does 1120 Ma, does this really matters?
Pineng
James James yes quality of the cable really matters to get the maximum charging capacity of your device.

Because of new firmware. It made me think to attempt buy this pocket wifi. 😁

Hi gadget addict
I like your all videos
Amazing speed. I was in the Philippines last September and couldn't use all my 1.5GB data in 7 days from Smart as it was too slow.
I coming soon July 30, 2020 buy new Pocket Wi-Fi Smart
Yow Gadget addict, this is just out of the blue but is your phone a oneplus 3t? thanks hahahaha
I recenty bought one of this pocket wifi, horrendous! That's why this model is so cheap nowadays. Waste of money.
