Fotofile MBK: Rugged top-tier gear by the BTS entrance. Film, used bodies and lenses (a bit expensive) on the ground floor. Gallery in the new camera section on the 4th? floor. They sell store-brand bags that are rugged, subtle, and cheap.

Pirom Plaza, Wangburapa: Camera repair, huge selection of bodies in any format, huge selection of lenses, lots of studio equipment. Everything is very cheap.

Interesting that some people think the Democrats should have been disbanded for being stupid. That would mean that the PTP would be banned 10 times over.

They're getting there. They've been banned twice before. This is the third iteration of the Thai Rak Thai party.

I've finally come to a solution. I bought a D-Link DIR655 wireless router for 2,700 baht at Paradise Park. I then found the True-supplied modem (BiPAC 5200S) and flashed it with the stock firmware to get rid of the True Landing page. I turned off firewall/DHCP/uPnP/all other router features and set it to bridge mode. The D-Link DIR-655 takes care of the PPPoE connection from there. DNS is set to OpenDNS and I haven't needed to use a proxy server yet. A speed test from speedtest.net to a server in Bangkok immediately showed consistent speeds that maxed out my connection with the bonus of a much lower latency. I get a consistent 6-7 mbps download speed, while the TP-link units got 4-5 mbps half the time and could barely average 0.5mbps most of the time.

I may use the TP-Link W8961ND later as a wireless bridge, but for now it is put away in its box. After my experience with three specimens of their products, I will make sure I never buy a TP-Link product again. I am almost certain that the replacements I received from their service center were both faulty units that other customers returned. I feel bad for the poor saps who end up with the bricked 8961 and my unresponsive 8960.

I have to thank you all for your help.

I'd start with your actual phone lines and every phone jack connected in your system. If you have a phone on the same line, even if another jack, then replace the decoupler. They do go bad, and it's possible one works with one type of router and not another. If you're not using a phone, or the other jacks on the same line, consider disconnecting them. Consider replacing the jack and the phone cord that goes from the jack to the router/modem. Try to sanitize your system the best you can. Look for excess wire leads touching other wire leads, look for loose screws holding the wire leads, look for corrosion, look for anything which isn't picture perfect.

I'll have an electrician take a look at the phone line system here.

When you say your new TP won't recognize the LAN cable.. have you tried a new LAN cable or different LAN ports? It doesn't matter which one of the four you use.

My first TP-Link, w8960N was replaced with a w8961ND that was bricked (no response from any ports/cable/computer). I then went back to the store to get another w8961ND that works, but is still unsatisfactory. I believe that the two 8961ND units I received were refurbished units dude to the condition of the boxes they came in.
