Thank you!

Photos taken In our garden in Phetchabun. Photo of mother, and chicks, but no one know what the name of the birds is.

Thanks for all replies.

Wow ! Used that road for twenty years, never seen it like that before !

They had various sizes in the shop I need to measure up the distances needed in the house, before buying the size I can that will be the best fit.

If I use two of the orange sockets, for a laptop upstairs and one downstairs, will my wife still be able to use the wifi for her phone ? (She's a Line addict)  lol

Thanks to everyone who replied, for their help and advice, much appreciated.

That begs the question what is the router attached to?  And what speed is it normally?  

It's attached to a TOT box which is for our telephone. It's supposed to be 100Mb down and 50 up, but the best I've had was 70 down. Happy with anything over 20, as long as I can watch the football and the internet is not too slow.
Please see attached photo.

 just make sure you obtain the correct colour cable!

 

yellow or blue for example  for your peripheral connections.

 

Not the red ones  (computer to computer)

I'm pretty sure the cable I've seen was grey, had about 30 metres of cable for 299 Baht.

If your router has RJ-45 LAN ports (most do) then you can just run a cable from one of them to your lappie. 1 cable per machine.

 

If you post the model number of your router or a photo of the connections on the back we can be certain.

 

Here you are, it's a TOT Router. It's only occasionally the speed drops right down, but that usually coincides with when I want to watch football on the internet !

As above, yes you can replace wifi with a cable. Something you may want to try first is change the wifi channel, 1mb is very slow and would indicate maybe a conflict with the neighbours wifi (channel congestion) or another 2.4ghz device (cordless phone, doorbell etc).

 

In my condo block channel 11 is virtually unusable as everyone's router is on that channel, switch to a free channel and its full speed.

Not very likely I don't think. I live in a small village up in the mountains, as far as I know, I'll be the only one for miles around with a router & wi fi!
i've added a photo, to give you some idea of the area, this is the main road through the village.
Never seen a cordless phone or doorbell anywhere near where I live either. Thanks for the reply, though.

I've had a router installed. it's wired up, until it comes into one of the bedrooms of the house, then it is wireless.
At certain times of the day, the incoming data falls off to as low as <1 MB download speed, particularly on the laptop downstairs. Can I plug in a cable that will connect the router to the laptops (s), and will that improve the speed / download rate ? I've seen a cable in town, but wanted to check if it will work, before I buy it.
I'm not wanting a huge increase in data flow, just enough so I can watch the football on the TV, via it being linked to a laptop.

Thanks for any help / advice.

Get a UK sim and there is no issue, they have what they want and you can get what you need, problem solved.

 

Most phones are dual sim these days, I have a Thai sim amd UK sim in one phone. The UK number can be topped up etc and maintained online at minimal cost.

Would you mind telling me what Company the sim is with ? Thank you.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Had a look on Lazada, but couldn't tell a good one from a bad one (I'm like that with women, too!!!)
I'm looking for a reasonably fast charger that can be used for both 12v and 6v  batteries, for cars and motorbikes.

Thanks for any help.

At least I won't have to listen to Bein's Peter Drury and Jim Beglin commentary team.

Every time he says "of this Parish" I want to kick something !  lol

It seems no company is showing the games in Thailand, so how do people watch the games ?

We went into the local True shop, and the girl there phoned head office, who sent a text to my wife's phone for us to sign up, later that day. 299 Baht a month.

I'm in too please!

299 if got trueH mobile phone number. I use AIS but will possibly go and buy a 50THB pay as you go sim. If not it's 399thb.

 

If anyone can get TRUE I.D TV working on a laptop let me know please. I've tried on desktop and laptop and doesn't work.... 

 

BEIN channels gonna be available only on platinum from 1st August. They mentioned something about separate rights la liga deal.... but TRUE customer service is so clueless and appalling I dread to think where they find the staff that give this info. BEIN have the rights, why would they offer a cheaper sub-license for true to show?!

 

I'll probably get BEIN connect pass for 1 year for 790thb so I can watch el classico, which I'm sure bein hopes everyone will do instead of paying exorbitant platinum prices.

Where do you buy the BEIN connect pass from ? Does this allow you to watch the games they show over the interent ?

Is there a topic that shows beginners how to set up streaming over the internet for the various football leagues and cups ?

so if I go to Pattaya right now will I be the only white guy?

 

Think you're pretty fly ?    lol

I see in the comments section for the blue tooth adaptor, they claim there is a sound lag between the TV and headphones, is that your experience too ?

Yes, that's why I asked, not much information about them. Thanks for the reply.

But Brexit (If it ever happens) automatically ends Scotland’s membership of the EU.

Brexit (when it happens) automatically ends the United Kingdoms membership of the EU.

 

Don’t mistake that as the EU having any objections to an independent Scotland becoming a member of the EU.

Scotland does not want independence, only the SNP want this, please respect the views of all the Scots when posting.

 

I'm a Scot, and I'd take up arms to free Scotland from the so-called "Union". It's never been a Union it has been a domination of the other three Nations by England, for centuries. Let England sink themselves with Brexit, if they're stupid enough to do it.
