Where can one source this router in Thailand?

 

No idea - I bought it at home (UK) and brought it here.  Just found another item I ordered and it's the same make but a lower spec so might be of interest to the OP if he can find suitable availability.

All okay where you are? Your posts are very strange and off-topic. You don't seem to be grasping the  point of the thread.

 

OP has an existing SIM and he wants a recommendation of a router with which to utilise it.

 

Of course we are not in control of the variables at his location, so we can only advise on specification.

CAT.4 with coverage of all the wavebands utilised by the network is a minimum. Tenda offers the cheapest CAT.6. TP-LINK and D-LINK have suitable CAT.4 options starting from around 1000 baht. 

The thread is for a fast internet connection. Two things here to cover:

1. None of the providers can give you Gb transfer rates, they can only give you a maximum rate. In practice you will not get the maximum rate for a very simple reason. During a connection to a site you are not going to be directly connected no matter what you think. You will pass through other switches and servers before your destination is reached. Your provider can not tell you that will will always be routed directly. As such your speed is the same as the slowest router you pass through. If you get a switch from your provider which you will when you sign up, it is irrelevant what the maximum speed that can provide for the reasons above.

Is this explanation clear enough? Without going into fibre characteristics that may or may not be used in parts of the route or the congestion on any one switch within the route and ignoring the data exchange between systems and handshaking within the network.

Where does it state that this thread is for a fast Internet connection, other than your post?

It's about an 'up to 15 Mbps' SIM package and a suitable modem router to go with it. That's all.

You appear to have lost your way.

You will never be sure of a fast connection as you are using a network that is used by many other people. If you hit your connection when they is not many many people using the route then it will be fast. If there is a lot of people using the same part of any part of the route it will be slower.

Bickering and off topic posts removed.

Less aggression and more civility please.
