With Globe MyFi, You Can Do It All!

Life seems coming back to normal and yes, bloggers are starting to attend events and press conferences left and right. I've been working remotely on occasion, while it's hard to juggle a laptop, 2 mobile phones and a DSLR camera, I pretty much would depend on data that my postpaid phone would be able to accommodate. My iPhone is pretty ancient and yes, batteries are kinda dismal. So instead of putting it in hot spot mode all day, I needed something that can handle all my devices and save me some headaches when deadlines occur.

 

Meet the new Globe MyFi LTE Advanced, it's a device that can connect up to 12 devices. This only costs Php 1,899 and links to an LTE Advanced network powered by Globe. I took the liberty of powering one up because I needed it for uploading content fast, I've been known to do that right after a movie, press conference or event that I cover. It's actually pretty easy to set this up, and you can customize and secure the network if you need to. 

When you open the box it contains the unit, a sim card pack, the battery, they Type C cable, the Quick Start Guide and the Warranty Certificate. Go and insert the micro sim, take note of the SSID and WIFI KEY at the back side before you insert the battery. You need this information to connect to the device so make sure you do that. There are two buttons on the device, the Wifi Protected Setup button (WPS) and the Power button located on the side. The reset button is inside the device when you open the flap. Turn it on, and wait for the prompt. It will indicate when a signal is available and also count the MB's that you've used. Got one of my phones and connected to the device, I automatically got internet connection because this has Surf4All99 or 9GB of data which you can use for all sites in the first 7 days.

To change the WIFI settings of your device, login to your router via 192.168.8.1 on your browser. Type in the username and password, I used admin for both and got to the interface above. This is the place you'll change your network name and password, if you want to elect a new one, go ahead and do it here. Save the settings and you should get the prompt that it has saved successfully. Then reconnect to your network with the new password you saved. Make sure you remember the router password so you can go back to the page if you want to change settings. If you forget the password, that's what the reset button on the device when you open the flap.

What I love about this device is the battery life. A single full charge could make this device last around 48 hours. Since its got its own battery, you don't need to depend on your mobile phones that drain too fast when its on hot spot mode. This frees up a lot of the power consumption I can use for social media, or other phone functions that I need to cover the whole day. Aside from that, I can share the connection to a few friends who would need it, that's very convenient for work and play.

 I also downloaded the GlobeOne App to register the number and load it up using that. It manages the connection, and it's good that you can buy load and subscribe to promos all in one app. The namesake works, and I'm glad I'd be able to know more about how I spend my data, budget it especially since I already have a postpaid line. The convenience of having Globe MyFi is just insurmountable, I'd be glad to have this as my companion now especially if I'm going out for work. I hope you find that feeling too!

The Globe at Home MyFi LTE costs Php 899.00 while the Globe at Home MyFi LTE Advanced costs Php 1,899.00. For more information about these devices and other Globe products, you may visit their website at https://new.globe.com.ph/prepaid-wifi/myfi-lte. With it, Carry Mo Ang Lahat!

 

 

Take 20% Off on TP Link Devices This Shopee 9.9 Sale

I've been buying almost everyday in Shopee and I've been taking advantage of the tons of sale that has been happening inside the app. This whole month has been very good because of the upcoming big Shopee 9.9 Super Shopping Sale this coming September 9. I mean it hasn't even landed on that date yet and I'm getting good deals on groceries, fashion items (Fashion Friday tomorrow) and some tech purchases. I had to tell you some good deals.

I was a router engineer for a whole lot of my professional career so I know a little more than usual with these devices. The TP-Link TL-WR820N Router has good range and speed since it is an N router, quite different from the B and G routers we used years ago. This router can also function as an Access Point and a Range Extender. These used to be done by completely different devices in the past but because of engineering and software technology, almost anything is possible now. They also have the TP-Link Tapo C200 which is basically an IP camera that you can view over the internet or just wirelessly. Setting it up is a cinch and you can even talk to people live. I actually have one at home and it has been pretty useful monitoring people at home especially my folks who I don't want to leave unsupervised. 

They also have the TP-Link TL-WA855RE which is a wireless range extender. People who have issues with wireless signal dropping off or not being able to see it at all can get these devices so they can repeat router wireless signals and cover those dead spots in the house. I actually have about 2 in my casa and it is seamless, the only thing you need to do is improve your speed too and it's going to be flawless after that. Check out TP-Link's official store here.

Meet The Linksys Velop Dual Band Mesh Wifi System

Having wifi at your business and home seems to be more of a need now. Truth is, people who go to restaurants, coffee shops, any business establishment for that matter would probably ask about your wifi password so they don’t get nervous or agitated when they’re not online. These days, people who manage these establishments have little to no technical knowledge about setting up wifi adapters, routers, repeaters, access points, modems or gateways, or even have time for it. Hiring people to do the job even costs a lot, not to mention the grueling maintenance of it. I’ve had the privilege of doing that work for years so I know it’s not that easy. You also have to worry about protecting your own network, mind the importance of data security and balance it with the need of your customers convenience at any time of the day.

Linksys has been in the industry for years now, and what they have been able to do is to service small offices/home offices with some of the world’s greatest networking devices both when they were still under Cisco and now that they are under Belkin. The Velop Home Wifi Mesh systems for example made it easier to set up wifi networks so you the ordinary user can set up good ones without complicating things as they employ propreitary setup softwares, making each step of the connection and management of it an easy one. They even employ security, new standard technologies that include tri band and dual band mesh systems so you get excellent coverage no matter where you are in the office or at home.

These systems are seamless, use only one wifi name and can even help you conncect everything together via an app, tell you specifically where to choose a location for the other access points so you get latency, throughput or repeater related problems to not happen if you’re setting it up. This means there’s no guess work, plus you can manage guest access, security, parental control, even automated firmware upgrades so you don’t have to do it yourself. That means if there are firmware issues/bugs discovered on the device or new features added on the Linksys Velop Dual Band Mesh Wifi System, it would need less maintenance (which is a great deal if you’re managing a business).

3 nodes you can place in different spots, making sure you have proper coverage inside your home/office.

The 2.4GHz and 5GHz band would be also useful for your devices who work in that frequency. This can also work with B, G, N and AC IEEE wireless standard devices, tri band or dual band can also connect with each other, so those old ones can work with new ones in the same network - without any hitches.

Good thing is, this works fine with ISP supplied modem/gateways. If you are also iffy about wireless connection for your other gadgets, the nodes have 2 ethernet ports each so go ahead if you want to. It also self selects the clearest channel for your devices, if you’re very OC like me, I’d be very satisfied with its performance. They also took time designing this with simple clean lines, white profile so it doesn’t look ugly at all.

Visit linksys.com and their social media channels if you want to know more about it. I’ll have it in my home very soon, you should consider these in yours too.
