How to connect a Globe WiMax BM625 CPE to a WiFi Router

Connecting the WiMax BM625 CPE to a Wifi Router
The WiMax CPE, BM625 (customer premise equipment) is provided by Globe for the 1Mbps wireless broadband plan. They provide a BM325, I think for the lower speed plan. Basic features are practically the same like the LAN Ports. This is just like the modem most DSL providers install but is more aptly called a CPE. the figure above shows how it looks and when installed, the other antenna is replaced by an aerial antenna to ensure that your system gets a good signal from the globe source which would likely be your nearest cell site. Like any other microwave device, a good signal is ensured when there are no obstructions and that the aerial antenna is on line of sight with the cell site.
The CPE has four (4) pan ports at the back and an input jack for the power source. Installation to your PC is straightforward by simply plugging the patch cord - provided in the CPE package to the PC Ethernet / LAN port via the RJ45 connector jack. Additional PC's can just plug directly to any of the spare or vacant LAN ports of the CPE.
The WiMax CPE runs on IEEE wireless standard 802.16 thus this is different from the usual WiFi normally installed on most laptops. The wireless netwrok on most laptops run on IEEE 802.11 b or g. Your laptop will not connect directly to the WiMax CPE to get internet access it would still have to access the network via a wireless router or access point. Very soon, WiMax shall be an option if not the standard for most mobile devices - laptops, smartphones, etc. Intel will soon roll out their Centrino laptop processor - Wimax enabled already.
WiMAX has the potential to do to broadband Internet access what cell phones have done to phone access. In the same way that many people have given up their "land lines" in favor of cell phones, WiMAX could replace cable and DSL services, providing universal Internet access just about anywhere you go. WiMAX will also be as painless as WiFi -- turning your computer on will automatically connect you to the closest available WiMAX antenna.
What if I want to run a WiFi network in my house?
If you have a wifi router and you want to have wireless access to your system, this is fairly easy to do. You simply need to configure the router to be an access point. Then, connect the CPE to the router via another patch cord BUT on the LAN port and not on the WAN port of the router. The WAN port of the router is where the DSL modem is connected.Most routers have 5 ports at the back, 1 WAN port - where the DSL modem is patched or connected and 4 more LAN ports for extra wired access normally provided by a HUB.
To reconfigure the router to be an access point (AP), you just have to connect to the router by putting the IP address to your browser, normally 192.168.1.1 for most. Mine uses 192.168.1.254. Enter the user name and password once access to the router configuration is achieved. Some routers default this to user 'admin' and password 'admin'. Check the documentation provided with your router. The most important tweak here is just to disable DHCP on your router as this will now be handled by the CPE.
My initial tries to connect my router to the CPE was with DHCP enabled or as server on the router. I was able to get internet access but this will sometimes conflict and simply drop the wifi connection. I changed the IP address of my router to 192.168.1.254, it used to be 192.168.1.1 - this is the same IP address of the CPE so i had to change it as I can not access the router when they both have the same IP address with the CPE. This is just to avoid conflict.
Rest of the router configuration was practically the same when I was using this on the DSL powered connection. You can take this time to also protect your connection using WEP, WPA or WPA2 or whatever security depending on your preference.

It might be that your router has a different IP add. The IP add of the CPE is also 192.168.1.1 so if you have wireless connection established with the router, disconnect it first from the CPE. If you can not get to the configuration page of your router via browser, try a different address - mine was reconfigure after for 192.168.1.254 - or better check the manual that came with the router, it might have a different IP add. I toyed around with my router with the CPE disconnected since they have the same IP, initially. Tell me if this helps. Good luck.
my problem is that i cant login as admin.. but i can login as user typing this user/password: user/user.
how about a Cable/Dsl rounter?is it posible? i have this syslink BEFSR41..
In that case, and if you have the docs with you, you can do a hard reset, I believe the router will go to the default values. You may now log in as admin and change the configs. One question, is your router doing well, or were you using it with your old provider - with no problems? If so then you can try to reconnect that and see if it does. Try to open a dos window and type "ipconfig /all" after the prompt. It should give you the ip add and the gateway. The idea of making the router an access point will make the CPE your router instead. The wi-fi router will only be an access to get to the CPE. You can also try to configure the wifi router with a wired connection initially after a hard rest. I also found some snippets .
I recently bought a befsr41 v4.3 to hook my xbox 360 and wii up to the internet.I followed the setup cd exactely and when it got to step 9 i think it was i kept getting errors couldnt find router.I went on the live chat and did all i was told to do:1. Connect the PC to the port one of the router then restart it. (This PC should be the one that can get online if directly connected to the modem).
2. Go to your desktop and double click on Internet Explorer (Located on the Start Menu in Windows XP).
3. When "Internet Explorer" opens type http://192.168.1.1 into the "Address" bar and click on Go.
4. The log-in window will appear.
5. Skip user name and type admin (admin is the default password) as the password, and click OK.
Let us see how this goes...
its not workin:-(im sori..i did all..but im stuck,i cant log in as admin to change the dns servers..
Too bad Nikki, the router may be dead, you may want to ask a technician to look into it first before you try to reconfigure. I have a friend in QC area who own a comp shop, in case you are near that area - Teachers Village, very near UP. Thanks.
AFAIK, Globe dont give admin password to their WiMax, mine is the BM622... i call it the "Blender" i managed to successfully configure it but after i unplugged the cable so i can transfer it to a place where the signal is strong... i can't connect to it anymore... i didn't change anything on my router, my router is Wireless-N MIMO AP Router from CD-R King...
Hi jan, yes i have tried hack my CPE so I could experiment on port forwarding, Globe is on traffic shaping so downloads are not that fast - VOIP is great tho.No avail on the hacking unless you can trick the guys from Huawei or Globe to give you that. I used my wifi router configured as access point instead and connected this to the CPE for my laptop access. Your router may be dead also.
i have an idea.ill brake this cpe and replace a new one.and i have to install a keylogger to capture the username and password..
That's a great idea! I read a post of someone who actually did that in the Pinoy DSL forum... Another tricked the Chinese Support from Huawei - I think that can be generated from the serial number..Will try that too. Sadly most anti virus programs see that as a Trojan...Good Luck.
do u have the keygen?and that keygen is generating 16 Numeric/Alpha char.
I have one here but my system sees it as trojan so I was not able to install it.
can u send me that keygen?i ges its a false positive..auxiusxxx@ymail.com
hey gudeve..gess what my pc was infected looks like a sign of w/32Conficker.worm..i didnt expect this..i just downloaded a program from a trusted site..and this program is "Sxe Injected" it is design to detect cheating in counter strike game.i cant update my av/as..avast/malwarebytes and cant visit antivirus sites aswell..i scan my whole drive and found nothing..this virus is tough..my last option is to system restore.wel i did that an hour ago and it was sucessful. and so i install this program and thats y i found out that the program contain a malicious codes..well gota find some fix to this problem.gudnyt.
ako alam ko password ng wimax kasi binigay sa akin. talagang 1.1 yung dns niya. pag ganito gamit mo nd nya maresolve yung ibang site. so you have to input manual dns depend s on the router itself na galing sa globe.wag po kayo mag rereset ng router kasi sasakit lang ulo nyo. better to call TSR ng globe. thanks. - monti02
@Jaycy - sometime there will be conflicts as most router would have been configured to 191.168.1.1 - I just made mine 192.168.1.254 to avoid that. Then configured it as access point (DNS - disabled). So the CPE acts as router for my desktops. The laptop via wi-fi router will simply connect to the CPE via access point and the CPE has to do the routing. I can not tweak my CPE - I do not have the password for that.
Thanks for the info on the reset. I have plans of discontinuing the service with globe. I am still part of the promo period installed systems for the money back guarantee. Signals have not been very good - you drop in the middle of processing - and that has been fatal to my website management and has caused me a lot of trouble with my databases.
@nikki Hi Nikki - got that sometime before as well - took me hours to get rid of. I am using avast also but have not encountered the same again. Just stay away from the crack, and cheat coded sites - they seem to have a way of injecting malicious codes. My kid loves to do that for his games too. His latest was a bot for the Pet application of Facebook. Thanks for the comments.
paa email naman sakin. romme_l@yahoo.com gusto ko lang malaman kung ano dito ang mac address 0025683116a6 - 16a7 (2)
gud am po, pwede ko po bang dalihin ung BM625 CPE ko khit saan? kasi po sinubukan ko na dalhin to sa friend ko(same village) and gumana nman po siya.. pero kung dadalhin ko po siya ng mas malayo sa lugar namin,, gagana pa kaya yun?
@rommel - Type in CMD, hit enter. or simply open a dos window.
Type "ipconfig /all" after the prompt - w/o the "
Look for the physical address for the wireless device (02-00-54-55-4E-00) format, it will aslo give you the address
you can also try arp -a
@6o9 - yes. But to really get a good signal - you need to be close to a BTS or cellsite. Connect both antennas for the CPE, the signal indicator will give you an idea if there is one nearby and if the service is available in that area. It has not yet been launched nationwide - selected areas only.Check with the globe site if available in areas - assuming you want to test this farther than your village - say the province.. 3-4 bars may be enough - full bar signal is desired.
@ marlon... medyo sakit nga ng ulo yung globe. selective browsing pa. kasi naka NAT pc ko. i used windows 2000 advance server. public and private. walang stable na dns talaga. mag tataka ka kasi na ping mo yahoo.com -t. reply. meron din messenger. iba kasi port ng messenger. sa tingin ko pag loaded na sila block nila port 80 para sa internet. ? ginamit ko din use default gateway para sa DNS ko then found working....problem naman talaga ng globe sa tingin ko.. DNS nila... 2nd na conflict sa hardware na gamit natin...
She Curato from BATANGAS CITY
first of all ok naman yung wimax mas mura pa kasi may landline pang kasama tapos madaling maka browse kahit nga umuulan easy to connect lang eh..Actually wimax po ang aming gamit sa aming office..so if u want 2 apply contact nyo lang po ang number na ITO..09066770608..THANKS
@jaycy - Welcome to the club, in my second review of how the service fared http://tinyurl.com/yl8drrn , I notice some changes in the service. I believe they are into traffic shaping for P2P. You are right I suppose, they have to address some basic issues in the system.
@ She Curato - I am using the service she and I did 2 reviews in my hibs, you might want to look into it. http://tinyurl.com/ykb7zp6 and http://tinyurl.com/yl8drrn. Thanks for your comments.
i thought it's just only for my area has a problem of globe connection. im at Cagayan de oro, and from the start of my subscription, i dont see 50kbp/s download rate yet on globe, downloading mp3 it took for 30-40 minutes per song. i gonna need to go internet cafe just to download it.
it seems the globe wants to compete some internet provider, whereas, globe is not capable yet.
tnx
anyone has an idea how to crack it for free internet connection using globe wimax>?
@sphinx - the service has degraded substantially for uploads in my side. Downloads have been doing well - only of course in connected mode. I have daily losses in signal lately. Smart will roll out their system very soon, another company, Liberty Telecoms, is currently working on their system.
@spartan - I don't think there is one yet unless the system will permit you - from the inside I mean. I heard globe tatoo can be. That system - via GPRS and 3G is more prone to hacking. Wimax is a different system.
user - username
user - password
hope this helps because i paid 500 pesos just to know the fucking password
pare sayang 500 mo. pag ung user account lang gamit mo hnd mo macoconfigure ung router. makikita mo lang ung details. dapat talaga "admin"
admin password is in accordance with CPE WAN mac number of encryption
Need to need to use the tool to generate passwords
Hi Sir Marlon, ask ko lang sana problem ko with globe wimax.
CPE - BM622 and My router - TPLink R640.
Connected naman ako sa internet and my signal indicator always at 100%.
Na experience ko kse mas mataas ang upload speed ko sa actual download speed. DL- 200 - 300 kbps / UL - 700 - 800 kbps. Ano kaya ang pde kung gawin d2?
