Quotebtfc “ Are there any settings I can check on the router/modem side? “ I would consider giving the printer an assigned IP address. Also, see “ Wireless Connection Issues ” below. Thanks, I'll give this a try.

MIL printer won't stay on Xfinity WiFi - 4 months ago

Hi, My MIL's older HP printer either doesn't connect or stay on her Wifi. She uses the standard supplies Xifinity equipment. I think it is this HP model (or similar) HP Photosmart D110a. Are there any settings I can check on the router/modem side? I took her printer to my house and it had no problem connecting and stay on our Linksys mesh system, so I am hesitant to just get a new pr

Our Smart Window shades decided to "leave" the network this week. A simple reset didn't fix it. So now I have to figure out I set it up previously and get it working again. These shades are hard to reach (especially for my wife), so we got powered ones and we got the additional smart features. These are older, so you cant't just scan them with your phone and have it automatically ha

Wife and kids have M1s, they have no problem and great for their use. Surfing is sweet...fast. although my youngest has complained about slowdowns when she has a bunch of game tabs open... I have a busy week, might take another look this weekend.

Re: Well this sucks...Pantone libraries leaving Adobe CC Apps. - 5 months ago

We're a specialty printer that uses almost only PMS colors on our single color presses. (single color, Heidelberg Cylinder Letterpress beasts from the 1950's / 60's) So I guess we'll be ponying up for 10 or so PMS subscriptions. We maybe farm out 3 jobs a year in process. More Fun Times in printing. Steve

QuotepRICE cUBE Ever thought of loading one of those up with photos and let it run the photo screensaver? I find that it adds to the atmosphere of a room. I do this, runs 24/7 in our basement.

Quotegraylocks This is the same kit Wyze is selling that I posted about last week. Ordering through Wyze is cheaper if you order through your Wyze account. With shipping it worked out to about $14.50. Unlike Amazon though it won’t show up in two days. Thanks for the heads up. I ordered 4 kits from the Wyze app and yes, it was less expensive than the Wyze website and worked out to $14.56 each

QuoteZoidberg Quotedk62 QuoteForrest The Pro Controller is overpriced. Plenty of third party controllers available for $30. I would have to disagree. Unless you are really lucky, by the time you have a third party controller that works reliably after a month, you will be out more than the price of the genuine article. I second dk's comment. For controllers, don't skimp. Good to know. T

School me on the Nintendo Switch - 7 months ago

School me on the Nintendo Switch. I'm think of getting one for casual gaming for my wife and I. Mario Kart, Mario etc… We don't have any human children and the dog doesn't have a big opinion on gaming console choices. I know supplies are limited, but Target and Best Buy seem to restock every few days. What are the must have accessories? Anything to be aware of? Thanks, Steve
