Hello,
I recently picked up a TP-Link TL-MR6400 4G router. I inserted my simpa SIM card, but I’m not getting any actual internet access, even though the app indicates that I am connected.

Interestingly, when I take that same SIM card and pop it into a different router—a mobile Linksys unit—everything works perfectly fine. Where should I even begin troubleshooting this? When I first installed the simpa SIM, the device gave me an option to manually configure the APN (which is currently set to web.htgprs).

On the other hand, if I swap in a Comcast card, it works without a hitch.

Thanks for getting back to me....I was wondering about how the print heads work on Canon machines...are they built directly into the cartridges, similar to how HP does things, or do they follow the same principle as an Epson setup? Also, since I don't plan on using this printer every single day, is there much of a risk regarding the ink drying up inside the nozzles?

Simple solutions from Sweden... I am in complete agreement here... my first step would definitely be to address the batteries...

Right now, I find myself in the process of shopping for a new printer. My main requirements are that it must feature Wi-Fi connectivity, maintain relatively compact dimensions for my desk space, and offer respectable print quality when using photo paper. I am looking to spend approximately $167 (give or take $33)
.
I don't need to print constantly; this is strictly for occasional home use.
Looking back, I used an Epson about five or six years ago, though I recall having some frustrating issues with the print heads. I have also owned an HP, which was perfectly fine, but I haven't had much experience with Canon yet. I would truly appreciate any recommendations you might have, as well as your personal experiences with these specific brands.

Thank you all so much for your advice...

So, I just picked up a new computer pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium... but I'm actually leaning toward either upgrading to Windows 7 Pro or perhaps just going back to Windows XP...

Now I've got a bit of a dilemma on my hands. Given that this machine is running an Intel i5 processor, has 4GB of RAM, and uses an Nvidia GT230... do you think I might run into any compatibility issues if I decide to run XP?

Since I intend to use this computer primarily for business purposes, my main priority is ensuring the system stays as stable and reliable as possible. Considering how much shorter the support lifecycle seems to be for Windows 7, I would truly appreciate it if someone could provide some sensible insight into the actual advantages of sticking with Windows 7 (and let's set aside the aesthetics—I'm perfectly fine with the Yahoo widgets provided).

Thank you...
