Just found a LAN cable, no LAN socket on my notebook

The true operator told me they guarantee 80-90% of advertised speed when using a LAN cable. I am sure there are losses in wifi but getting 230 download from a 1000 mbps connection? You think that is right? Yes there are all sorts of things can effect wifi.....but they weren't effecting my speed 2 weeks ago nor the last 2 years. And if it is some problem with the neighbours, how would I know? I am not even sure I have a LAN cable any more. I will go and have a look if I have one, check the LAN speed and report back

\ Finally, you router or the antennas may have issues 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are Wi-Fi frequencies and not something the ISP can control or influence, since they are between your router and device (in-house) I would have thought so to, but three times today I have had to call them because even though the router was on, all green lights humming...our normal wifi was not visible....a call to True...."hang on"....they appear. I can't explain it but that happened today. They said it may happen again and it did. As stated we also lost the 2.4 signal a while back for no reason. A call to True and it appeared again Also over a a 2.4GHz wireless signal you will be lucky if you get 100 Mbps, so if you are saying you ge3t 500 Mbps upload, then you are telling porkies. Who said I was getting 500mbps on 2.4? Better read the post before calling someone a liar. The 2.4 we use for CCTV....the 5ghz is our normal internet connection. Our Router has 2.4 and 5ghz Channels. I didn't even test the 2.4. I tested our fastest 5ghz channel What possible reason would I have to lie about any of this stuff? I have already said I don' understand much of it so I am not trying to impress here. My initial question was is it normal for test speeds I was receiving to be much lower than advertised. The fault finding etc True can sort it out.

These things are all well and good guys but remember my connection up until now has been excellent. None of my devices, router etc has changed. It is something just happened randomly 2 weeks ago. All of the technical stuff and tests if it doesn't get sorted can be done by True. S to me that means something has broken. I doubt all of my devices have failed at the same time. So other than that there is only the router and beyond.

I am not just sitting on the internet all day I am sorry, looking after 2 kids. Nor do I understand much of what is being requested. The router is a True Gigatex, or that's what written on it. It is not easy particularly atm to remove it and get to see actual manufacturer and model. The router is about 2 years old. Can I get an onscreen reading like you have shown? As for the other question, screens freeze....streams / videos sometimes jerky and constantly refreshing. Some pages hang and don't load. 2 weeks ago, and up until a few years ago there has never been a problem. I probably don't have the latest tech router...But nothing has changed our end. All devices same for at least 6 months, all were working fine before and now all having the same issues. As far as I am concerned the issue is a True problem and they can sort it out. How getting the model name of the router will help I am not sure? It is Trues router and has been fine for at least 2 years. Has there been any changes in transmission etc that would null the router as no longer being any good?

They are saying they have already upgraded us to 1gb and everything their end fine. I rebooted.....no router signal on any of our devices again. Once again had to call them to do something again so wifi is visible. At the same time I was talking to them I did a speed test....same 230 / 390 speed on 1gb! They said it must be my notebook. I did the speed test on my phone....same speed. Oh you need to use a LAN connection? I said you are kidding me? You are telling me that because I am using wifi I am getting 20% of the advertised speed? You want me to walk around my home with a LAN cable? I asked again...So you are saying because I am using wifi I will only get 20% advertised speed, and exactly the same speed as I was getting on 500/500? You are claiming 80% losses using wifi right? "No I am not saying that" I haven't worked in a company with IT people for 10 years but nothing has changed. We have been through this before with them a few years ago....finally got someone out after 10 calls and there was an issue at the local repeater or something. Will monitor it for the rest of the day. They told me we would get an SMS when the 1gb plan is active and finished. Still haven't got that yet so I suspect they haven't even done it yet even though the True operator reckoned its been completed.

The internet radio has been fine for 5 years. Issue we are having now with the radio started at exactly the same time as the internet speed / drop out issues. I would say that would be the logical reason for it.

Yeah we done the True online tests several times Crossy. Just got off a lengthy phone call with True and they guarantee at best 80% of quoted speed and that is only with a very close LAN connection...not wifi. We are getting half of their quoted speed. Not so much of a speed issue as an intermittent stop start sort of thing. They said they reset everything and put us on a different channel what ever that means. Our router has a 2.4 and 5k connections. CCTV on the 2.4 and general web use 5k. We completely lost 2.4 about the same time as this issue started. Wife rang them, they said there were no obvious problems there end and at the same instant the 2.4 came back on again. As it was only 100 baht extra per month I upgraded to the 1gb/500 plan, but it irks me. We have been on this current plan for 2 years with not one problem. Will see how we go next week or so....knowing True and their constant SMS promotions and bombardment of advertising I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do it intentionally.

Did you not read my post Captain obvious? "We have done several complete power down (plug out) router reboots" We reboot weekly as a matter of course....and have completely rebooted (power plug out) at least 5 times with this particular issue with no effect

Hi all. Recently having trouble with our True Fiber connection. Never had a problem in over 5 years. Just the last week or two connection and speed has been very sketchy. The package is supposed to be 500mbps download and upload. At times it feels like it is intermittently cutting in and out....very slow. I have done online speed tests and best results I can get are 200-250 mbps download and upload is always around 500mbps. We have done several complete power down (plug out) router reboots. Not going through a VPN or anything and computer very close to the router. Called True the other day and they passed it off as peak time issues etc but said they would reset our system which I am not sure if they did or not. Another tell tale sign is the Internet radio in the kitchen keeps losing connection and have to handshake it back to the wifi again. This normally only happens if we have a power black out. Having a 500/500 connection is the speeds I am getting normal or will they decrease in peak times etc?

Thanks guys, all simple practical solutions I should have thought of myself lol. Many thanks

Have a pretty basic Android tablet. We list a bit of stuff on Facebook marketplace and on my PC I can have several FB screens open at once. When we relist stuff we can simply copy from one screen to the other before deleting the original item on the first screen. Is there anyway I can do a similar thing on a Tablet? One thing I was thinking of was using the Facebook app and I believe there is a Facebook light version....swap / copy info between the two apps or would there be a better way? On the same Facebook account or between two different FB accounts. Any ideas appreciated

So far very very good, but my needs are few. Basic camera and RAM but plenty for what we will be using it for. This one only a few years old so no dramas except it is a Huawei and you have to use a third party app to use Playstore. I guess the US / Google wanted to be the only ones tracking everyone else's information. Its quite basic but for what I need more than ample. The reason for my post is the wife has an Apple Ipad which is basically no longer usable as the system is limited to older updates and many newer apps will no longer run. I read recently Apple have been building planned obsolescence into their products, not only by only supporting them for a finite period but building something into the system where they start slowing down over a period of time. Apparently a class action has been won against them? In any case I love Apple products but I don't love the whole Itunes store thing. If I buy a product I want to own it, not have someone else own me. I am quite fond of Huawei products. Get an awful lot for your money in no part due I guess due to they lost their US market overnight.

I do now because I received it today....Do you know the answer to my questions or you are just bored and have nothing to do?

3 posts and all I receive is motherly advice. That's for the general / pub forums. This is I assume is a technical forum. Why do people here assume only they have the most basic of common sense and how do you read into my posts my kids are sitting online or playing games 24/7 ? One hour a day after homework if that is ok with you? Some very lonely and bored people out there

Looking for a cheap tablet mainly for the kids. They have broken one already so was thinking a cheapy / secondhand. Have seen them for around 1000-1500 baht in phone shops, pawn shops usually from 2016-2018 or so. I know from previous experience with apple quite often you run out of system updates as the model gets older and can't get past a certain system update. Then many apps become unavailable as they will only run on newer system versions. Was just wondering if Android any different, particularly a model from 8 or so years ago. They aren't playing heavy online games or anything so not looking for hot graphics / performance etc. Just a bit of surfing, you tube and a few games. Other issue is many of these older Tablets, (and I may be talking shet here) will be running 3 / 4G? Or is 3, 4, 5G to do with phone service not internet? The Tablet wont have nor do we need a sim card. We actually have 4G and 5G on our router at home. Our CCTV nest / wifi cameras apparently will only connect to 4G. Do the providers here plan to cut services for older 3G 4G devices anytime soon? I got a message from my Australian provider a month ago saying the old phone I use with my Australian Sim will no longer work with my Sim card as of this month. Any advice appreciated.

Bill ended up around 4500, but that included a new rear tyre for about 2400 which I could have bought online for 1500. Also new front disks. The rest was about what you would expect from a Honda dealership aka 30-40% mark up on everything. We have a local guy here who fixes my wife's scooter on occasion. he is embarrassingly cheap, and very good too I must say.

Same as food in any restaurant....worst case scenario. If you buy pills off the street out of an Africans pocket yes...they are only interested in one off sales, have no reputation to worry about. There are plenty of reputable sellers selling generic product and for the most part I believe you are safe and an acceptable risk. Everything comes with risk including intimate relations with the local tourist attractions here

I don't know why you would be so worried about hygiene....go outside and take a few good gulp fulls of Thailand's "fresh" air. Or have a look at the water your vegetables and fruit are washed in every day. If you are a germ o phobe you are living in the wrong place

I found that too with Kamagra, half was all I needed and still had a red face and effected my sight a little. Worked well but the Shompoo I had was excellent. You wouldn't know you had it until it was time....and really heightened sensitivity too. Can't wait until they are available again :-(

What about when you are horny again in 5 hours, then 9 hours etc lol

Ended up getting it all done, cost an arm and a leg too. I knew I was in trouble when I walked in and saw 6 service guys sitting around doing nothing. Got the same at Isuzu. Obviously with the economy here people aren't getting service done, and they are trying to make the most of out the people who do. Both car and bike services got about 4 phone calls for nonsense repairs they claimed need doing and upsells

Taladafil is available here....and don't ask me to prove it, but saw it online from the same seller I discussed earlier for around 400 / pk 10 from memory. I think it was even cheaper if you bought 3+ packs. The Thais know where to get all this stuff and what works and what doesn't. I am lucky enough to have a few Thai friends. Most of them buy off LINE accounts. If you know any Thai guys ask them :-)

They are generic for sure but from a reputable online seller I have used many times. I wont mention their name here. And just because they are cheap doesn't mean they wont be effective. The product I used to buy online for 350 baht and many sellers selling the same for 1000+, and anything from pharmacies where I live at least three time online prices. Tourist areas I imagine the skys the limit.

I do actually reboot my router regularly. Every now and then the connection slows down (fast True fiber connection) and it seems to kick start things again. I know nothing of routers so may be a crock.In any case had the issue probably a month or two now. Only certain sites. I log onto Lazada most days and it isn't a thing that comes and goes. Every log on has been met with a captcha thing. Does simply rebooting your router give you a new address?
