    I just changed out a Sierra Wireless MC8355 WWAN card to the MC7700... I loaded the drivers and the yellow-icon'd MC7700 in Device Manager became the Sierra Wireless HSPA modem, but for the life of me I can't get a Watcher or even Windows 10 itself to use it!

    Is there a setting in the FZ-G1 I'm missing somewhere? As far as I can tell right now it's on Direct IP, not QMI.

    Managed to (I think) flash the firmware to SWI9200X_03.05.29.03 (DIP) and now the Watcher sees the card. BUT...
    - Without a SIM card inserted, watcher says "No SIM"
    - With a valid SIM inserted, watcher stuck on "searching"
