There's a whole reddit thread with a similar problem here. Enjoy Image

Apparently in windows you can set a default location. You could maybe try setting that, or make sure it's not set to DC?

Settings/Privacy & security/Location and look for Default location.
And also app (Chrome, Edge) permissions to use location service.

Yes, I went around that buoy yesterday or the day before. That just raises more questions:

Actually, I've just logged into Google Maps, and I must have inadvertently changed something. My location is back to Hua Hin. :dance: :dance:

Does anyone know if any similar looking cable (lots on Lazada / Shopee) can be used from router to electrical outlet (Power)? Or is it specifically from router to router? I subscribe to AIS fiber and the router is named ZTE.

What are you trying to achieve? Power for the router, in which case you'd need a new adaptor, or link two together (which usually uses a CAT5/6 cable)?

Thank you for replying. Yes, adaptor for power for the router since it looks like the cable from the adaptor is the issue and now and then I have to twist and turn the end that goes into the router to get power.

Check the voltage/amps output of the old one and buy something similar (with the same plug, obviously).

Take the old one to the shop - they should find you the right one.

Of course it's also possible that the component in the router is failing instead. Like mobile phone power input sockets sometimes fail after some time.

Something in that genre I'm also thinking so I think I'll live with a little unstable router connection power now and then until Songkran is over and then get AIS to come home here and check the problem.

In that case, take it to Mr Don. He'll check both for you, and also supply the new bit, without ripping you off.

I am having work done on my house and the place I am moving to does not have internet. The work should take 4-6 weeks. I want to take my desktop computer with me and I was hoping I could somehow get a couple of months internet so that I can use it. Can anyone suggest the best way to achieve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I take my laptop anywhere, I connect to my mobile hotspot. My Internet usage is not crazily high, and I've never noticed any degradation of service.

RELEGATED ? well if you will employ Rooney with his management record what do you expect. I sent a post when he was appointed
As a Spurs supporter I hope for a new manager too and with large cash in the bank (to fund new players) next season could be a welcome relief from 24/25. Good luck to you too
