  1. The new at the time reason of sending funds for long term stay was introduced in order to ensure (as far as possible) that the funds would arrive with the designation that they have come from overseas, to satisfy certain immigration requirements. Prior to that users had to call (Transfer)Wise to tag their account to ensure this happened, and the transfer process is handled differently to ensure the overseas designation is realised.
  2. Just got a chance to try that yesterday and no difference. It's all going on the back burner now as the no-name router is now heading back to Thailand.
  3. It was explained earlier in the thread that the flight carries on to Dubai so they're checking no-one gets off that shouldn't.
  4. It operated as a commercial airport in the past so much of your list may still be there and some still required/used by the military presence.

  6. Embassy is run by the Home Office. Passports issued by the Foreign Office. Don't think you'll get an answer from the Consular Team here.
  7. You can use your Qatar Avios on Bangkok Airways flights if that's any use to you? Still a bit longwinded to book but availability seems OK (for BKK-USM anyway which is what I've been checking).
  8. Is that even a serious question or just a poor attempt at shlt stirring?
  9. I'm away for the weekend just now but will look for a setting when I return, although I don't recall seeing one. The EE SIM isn't roaming though, but maybe the cheap router doesn't know that!
  10. Thanks anyway, it's been an interesting learning experience for me.
  11. That's what I may end up doing, but one of them will be going back to Thailand and I was hoping to take the "better" one there (as I spend more time there) and leave the no-name Chinese one here in the UK. CMNET appears to be a China Mobile setting. Would that work on EE network in the UK? I tried it anyway with a variation of Authentification Types but still no good. It's a PAYG SIM. I tried the old 3G APN settings from your previous link but no difference (without the IPv4 bit), and the TP-Link article doesn't seem to suggest anything new except it does allude to IPv4 which I was unable to force on my router. Saving APN profiles has been suggested in a couple of places but the router doesn't seem to support that, only making entries followed by "Save and Apply". I've been rebooting after each change too. SIM card is unlocked. I may be able to try it in another location next week. I've also now tried it with my O2 SIM from my phone and it got an internet connection straight away with APN set to "Auto". That was mentioned in one of your previous links and tried with no success. This is part of the router interface screen. I think I've been through each setting but no way to force IPv4 as has been suggested in a couple of places. Any suggestions where it could be? I appreciate the help from everyone.
  12. That's nice, and she's probably more qualified than most on here to advise you, but it's also irrelevant to the advice to see a doctor.
  13. Latest trials: Firmware reset as suggested. System rebooted. No 4G connection. Can’t find anywhere to disable IPv6 Router logs show connection issues but no clues (to me) of why. I can probably cut and paste a section here if you think it’ll be of any use. Change APN settings to those from page 1 of the link (without the IPv4 bit) Still no 4G connection Rebooted and the same but I think it flashed up a “Connected” message for a split second. Confirmed new APN settings had “stuck”. Tried the same but forcing a 3G connection (again from the thread linked above). No difference. Any more suggestions appreciated.
  14. The only potentially identifying info on the bottom is the label pictured above. Definitely looks like that one and the user interface screens are the same. My concern is that the Chinese copiers may have reduced the spec. to save money? I haven't tried anything new since my last post but will try some of the suggestions and see how it goes in the next day or two. I can confirm I've been rebooting the router each time after changing settings.
  15. Discussed on here as far back as January. https://aseannow.com/topic/1317409-grab-what-happened/
  16. All explained om the Wise website: https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers
  17. Agreed, although eventually you get free seat selection on these lower fare type tickets once online check in opens. Similar on Emirates lowest fare type despite what some posters claim. Without going back to double check I think I've also seen it with both Finnair and Air France "Light" fares recently.
  18. Thanks again for replying. I can confirm the settings remained. Resetting and retrying with the revised settings (after rebooting) gave the same results. I also tried putting the SIM into my phone and it connects with the EE network on Band 3 according to an app I found called Network Cell Info Lite. This ties in with an EE 4G frequency from your info above. Here's a picture of the no name Chinese router if it helps identify it.
  19. I'm not sure I understand your response. The EE SIM connnects to the internet when it's in my new UK purchased router but not when inserted in my Thailand purchased router. To me, case one means the provider is letting me connect so in case 2 the router is causing the problem. Putting the SIM in a phone will be replicating case one which means connecting OK. Does that sound right? The SIM supports both calls and data but I currently only have a data package applied. I have no idea what frequencies the router supports and have no manuals. I can't see this information in the setup pages either. This is the only ID on the router if it means anything to anybody. Is there any practical/easy way to check? APN settings were on Auto. I tried changing them to Manual and entering data per your first link. On rebooting it seemed to be connecting but bombed out again after a few seconds. As above re APN settings. Should the original "Auto" settings have sufficed to your knowledge?
  20. Last year I bought a no-name router to use with a Dtac SIM to provide internet to my place in Thailand and it's been working OK. I'm in the UK now and bought a router here to provide the same service here using a local SIM on the EE network. To compare the two, I put the EE SIM in the Thai router which I'd brought to the UK with me, but it doesn't connect to the EE network. Is there likely to be anything in the settings I could change to allow it to connect or is it more likely the specification is different and it'll never work? If I were looking at them now, what settings/parameters etc would I look for to ensure compatability between routers and SIMS from different markets?
