Thank you. I think you are absolutely correct, it's 2 gb down 1gb up, sorry for the confusion. I didn't know about the byod system, thank you so much, I'll get that sorted. For those that are reading this thread in the future though, if you aren't fussed about what hardware is in your home, they also offer extra devices to create a mesh. it's not as good as pro gear, not even as good as ASUS ai mesh of course, but it's pretty decent. And it's relatively well priced. Thank you to everyone who contributed in this thread, very interesting stuff!

Yeah tested it - its wifi 6e and it sucks - sure the 2.4ghz signal is pretty good around a big house, but it drops randomly at the worst possible time (mid streaming, mid game, etc). I want to get rid of it, so I was thinking, 2 options: a) I disable all the crap on it including SSIDs, DNS, etc. , then I plug proper gear (Unifi) into the lan ports. b) I get rid of it and find a good PON box. Problem I have is a) means keeping a POS in the loop lol, having this 2000 bath thing in the middle of a pro unifi setup is ridiculous 🙂. As for b) I have no idea how the thai ISP functions, I'm from the UK, and it seems they are hiding the PPOE details. If you have any advice please let me know. PS: I'm not sure what the next poster is on about regarding 'engagement posts'. - if it makes anyone feel better I can post pictures of the setup.

TF is an engagement post lol . Anyways you are correct, even thought the router itself show "5400", it's an HFS11 from human with a 2.5gbps wan port. AFAIK all the lans are at 1gb only. Meaning, if I wanted to get rid of that POS, I would need to replace it with a PON box. I see it's possible to buy them on shopee, but I'm unsure what to do . Maybe you have some sort of advice. Thank you

Hi, like many of you I bought the faster possible internet from AIS which corresponds to 2gb up and down with almost no contention. It's brilliant. BUT they ship it with a single human ac 5400 HPS11 which act not just as a router/ap, but also as an ONT!!!! imagine my surprise when I realized the WAN port was only 1gig, as opposed to the 2.5gb to get the max possible speed when say, using it in bridge mode or just disabling it together. So as I'm sure you guessed, my question is : have any of you tried to replace it entirely with a decent little ONT box with a 2.5gb port so I can plug that directly into a proper WIFI7 mesh network of my own design. THank you!

Hey I"m a former (retired) AI entrepreneur. The bubble is already busting - so be SUPER careful. The technology in question you need to research - read 'We have no moat' by Google, it was written a while back, and google itself admits, given the tech is basically mature at this point, there's NOTHING they can do to be competitive. Cue them faking demos out of desperation. I'd stay well clear - when people realize chatGPT is getting neutered and has no room to grow, they will put their hope into image generation. Stability AI is collapsing (ceo is gone, look it up) , and the smaller companies are running on fumes. Evidently, from the outside, i'm sure it looks glorious, but trust me the heydays were 7 years ago, when people like me were launching AI business left right and center. Now you're chasing the puck where it is, not where it will be (to quote Jobs)

Hi, I bought to rent in england and due to last year's rate issues, It was a financial bloodbath. Fast forward todo in BKK, and evidently i see all these condos and i'm thinking "i wouldn't mind picking up a couple" (it's far cheaper than london of course). The rent should be returning, as i'm sure you all know, the equivalent of minimum (absolute baseline) of 4.75 AER + inflation. I"m currently staying in a bnb i'm charged for at 1400 GBP/Month, I've enquired and saw long term they rent at 600 USD lol . So given it's worth about 200k USD, a quick back of the cigarette pack tells me that at 1400 / month i'm making bank , but at 500 USD, well, let's just say i'm not too interested given I imagine i'll have to switch the washing machine or whatnot every other year. Not to mention the management pains. So... which one is it? It is a good investment or another experience i'll come to regret? Thank you!

Thanks. I'm going to be calling lawyers all week to get to the bottom of this because I have concerns about a long term stay in SEA if i don't have a 'base' to live from. Can you recommend good ones that work with people still abroad? I heard about thaivisa but no reply so far... Thanks!

non-O is for 50+ (mostly) or married to a thai or thai child, I'm unmarried, 46 yo. I guess the questoin was answered though ,it's possible to do visa switcheroos from WITHIN the Kingdom, which is insanely good compared to other countries!

Sure I'm 46 years old and I'm not too keen on keeping on renewing things and worry about paperwork, so for me elite makes sense until i turn 50, BUT since i have the cash, assuming the only requirement for an investor visa is tranferring money (already taxed) to the Kingdom, dual taxation etc means it's more financially advantageous.

Hi 👋😉 I'd like to do the following: - Enter on a tourist visa, multiple entry . Use the time to find a condo, etc. -"Switch" to an investor visa, elite visa, retiree visa, etc. Depending on what's possible - financially i can afford any of these. BUT - 1. is this allowed? And would I need to move out of the country before 'switching' visas? 2. And if i'm NOT in the country, does it imply i should be in MY home country (the UK&France) or can I apply from ANY other country (i'm thinking vietnam) The reason I ask is that I don't have 'home base' the moment i leave for SEA, so I have to plan my moves very carefully. I have lived in the PI for a long time so travelling around SAE doesn't scare me, but getting 'stuck' does Cheers!
