Slow smartphone signal? There are 3 ways that you can try to strengthen the Smartfren signal to make it stable and run smoothly.
In certain areas and under certain conditions the Smartfren network is still classified as bad and unstable, some even have no signal at all.
It’s no wonder that many users are looking for ways to solve this problem and speed up their internet connection.
If it is only for ordinary needs such as browsing or accessing social media, it may not be too important to stabilize the connection.
However, for gaming or streaming purposes that do require a stable connection, increasing signal strength is mandatory.
3 Ways to Speed Up Smartfren Internet Connection
Actually Smartfren’s internet connection is pretty good, it’s just not evenly distributed. In some areas, especially rural areas, there are still many who experience slow and slow connections.
But that doesn’t mean nothing can be done.
I’ve selected 3 ways that you can try to strengthen the Smartfren signal that has proven to be successful, here’s how.
1. Use the Fastest APN Settings
APN or Access Point Name greatly affects the speed of your internet connection, so make sure to use the best settings.
Even if you use the wrong settings, it can result in not being able to access the internet at all.
Then how is the fastest Smartfren APN setting? You can use the settings below:
Smartfren 4G LTE Default APN Settings
- Name: Smartfren4G
- APN: Smartfren4G
- Proxy: Leave Default
- Port: Leave Default
- Username: smartphone
- Password: smartfren
- Server: Leave Default
- MMSC: Leave Default
- MMS Proxy: Leave Default
- MMS Port: Leave Default
- MCC: Leave Default
- MNC: Leave Default
- Authentication type: PAP or CHAP
- APN type: default,supl,xcap
- APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
- APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
- Operator: Undefined
- MVNO Type: None
Smartfren 4G LTE APN Settings
- APN: smartfren4g
- Proxy: Not set
- Ports: 80
- Username: smartphone
- Password: smartfren
- Server: Not set
- MMSC: 10.17.27.250
- MMS Proxy: 10.17.27.250
- MMS port: 8080
- MCC:510
- MNC: 09
- Authentication type: PAP or CHAP
- APN type: default,supl,xcap
- APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
- APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
- Operator: Leave Default
- MVNO Type: None
Now, please make a new APN setting on your device by following the settings above then use the APN.
2. Using Signal Booster App
The second way you can try is to use a signal booster application. The signal booster application here I mean is an application that functions to lock the network to 4G.
As you know, the speed of the 4G network is definitely faster when compared to 3G or below.
Well, in another article, I have also discussed one of the 4G network lock applications called 4G LTE Network Switcher.
You can read about it here: How to Use 4G LTE Network Switcher App.
3. Using the Old Way
There are several old-school methods that, although they may sound strange, are proven to increase internet connection speed. Some old school methods you can try include:
- Remove the Hp Case Protector
If the cellphone you are using uses a protective casing made of thick materials such as fiber, metal, glass and so on, try to remove it.
To reset the network all you have to do is turn on airplane mode for a few minutes and then turn it off again.
You can do this especially when your cellphone has been used for a long time and has never died.
Cell phones that are used for too long will usually experience a decrease in performance, including in capturing signals.
Therefore, please restart or reboot your cellphone to increase connection speed.
So that’s my discussion this time about 3 ways to strengthen the Smartfren signal.
