Airport Extreme And Thai Isps ?

Usually, as part of the package, when you sign up with an ISP it will provide a modem. A hotel commonly provides internet via WIFI connection.

It looks a lot like 'Monkey see, monkey do' but my assumption is that some folks have problems and ring their ISP instead of Apple. My experience in such cases is that by the time you've been bounced, you are ready to throttle someone - inevitably, I expect that Apple log such calls. Mekong mentioned that he has had no problems with two of the bigger Thai ISPs, and that's where I'll direct my enquiries.

 

Thanks to everyone, especially radioman, for their help and apologies for not being clearer - some DSL routers have a built-in modem, but the Airport does not. In any case, DSL models are cheap - dealing with help desk zombies considerably more expensive.

ADSL is the standard for transmitting digital data over phone lines. There is a different standard for transmitting digital data over cable TV.

DSL? Ok sorry, I next to never deal with DSL so my knowledge there is limited.

 

Here is the set up guide:

Do a search for DSL and there are instructions. If your DSL does not come to a DSL modem in your flat (which would be kind of odd.) you will likely need a DSL to Either or USB adaptor. But they are really cheap.
