I assume you are referring to the TOT Nanostation which you said in an earlier post you were going to install in 3 weeks after failing to convince your neighbor to run a cable from theirs? Do you have the TOT system now?

went to TOT in surin the other day and asked about "totwifi" for Sangkha - told no worries - 3k upfront and 12 months of monthly charges - chose the 12meg/1meg plan - 1300 a month.

but told that Sangkha was managed by Praseart branch - they are supposed to turn up next week and install - I will have to check out what they did when I return in 6 weeks - will post some info.

when I was in the office , I saw 1 bloke with a ubiquity nanobridge in his bag of goodies which he had just signed up for.

just to update - with the flooding and all the internet connection has taken a back seat - I have used a tomato 54gl to client to an open AP at the rice millers office and then retransmit with the tplink ADSL modem/switch/AP that TOT praesart supplied

as you may notice -ADSL modem - I had a look at what was done while I was away

they have run a telephone cable in from the switchbox

now they keep asking how many bars signal strength we have on the "wifi" and the GF thinks we have "wifi" because thhe ADSL modem is an AP

I have said fcuk it , just hook up a telephone outlet and give me an ADSL connection and I will sort it out

so no opinion on the TOT "wifi" with an ubiquity nanostation from me as I will just end up with ADSL

6GB and 10GB are not the speed, they are possibly the monthly download limits.
The Ubiquiti Nanostation M2 or M5 can not give you more than ~ 80-90 Mbit/s under best conditions (full wifi signal and no other customer apart from you connected to the ToT tower base station).

My two friends that have this system live next door to each other but funny enough they had a falling out about a 2 years ago and don't talk to each other,so each have their own Nanostation system.When I go to either of their houses with my laptop I can pick up either of their wifi's on my laptop as they live about 10 meters apart plus I have both passwords programmed into my computer.Obviously the persons house I'm in has the strongest signal.My Thai neighbour house is about 35 meters from my house and just to far to pick up the sign.
So both your comments are wrong Lom

BTW...the 10 Mbps downloads speed package is 600Baht not 900Baht and the 5 Mbps is 500 baht again not as I first quoted

Boloa look online for a ALFA networks usb wifi adapter. Here is a link to Amazon.

Amazon.com : Alfa AWUS036NH 2000mW 2W 802.11g/n High Gain USB Wireless G / N Long-Range WiFi Network Adapter with 5dBi Screw-On Swivel Rubber Antenna and 7dBi Panel Antenna and Suction cup / Clip Window Mount : Computers & Accessories

I got a the 1000mW version a couple of years ago. You will probably be able to connect to your buddies Router 35 meters away no problem. I was using it to connect to a router 2 buildings down from where I worked. Without it the router didn't even show up on my laptop. With it I got a solid 80% signal and almost full speed downloads and I basically worked in a faraday cage (C.N.C. machine shop). Right now if I take my laptop upstairs with this hooked up I can connect to the local Govt buildings wifi which is about a half a KM across a cassava field line of sight. Unfortunately they don't have internet access that I can find locked or not.

40$ US you cant go wrong.
