HiRO H50113 V92 56K External USB Data Fax Dial Up Internet Modem Windows 10 8.1 8 7 Vista XP 32-bit 64-bit

This product works great. It enables my computer to run a 40" TV or a 62" TV at the push of a button. Picture quality is perfect on both TV's. I have a 12' HDMI cable to the 62" TV and a 6' cable to the 40" TV. No loss of picture quality to either one.

I bought this modem because it has a long USB cable. With the stubby cables of the other models, the modem would have been dangling off my tablet. With this long cable, I can store the modem further from my tablet.I'm using this modem with a call blocker. I have PhoneTray Free v1.39 on a Windows Home 32-bit tablet.I plugged in the modem, the modem initialized and the modem blocked calls. No disc, no downloads, no fuss. However, a couple days later, Windows automatically updated the driver from 2.2.98 to.2.2.102, and the modem stopped blocking calls. Although PhoneTray would report the calls as "zapped," the modem, I suspected, wasn't passing the disconnect signal. This created other bizarre reactions.Because the modem wouldn't pass the disconnect signal, my phone would ring until the answering machine picked up the call. Robocallers leaving messages is not good. Additionally, the disconnect signal from PhoneTray seemed to "bounce back" into PhoneTray. Meaning, after I receive a call with Caller ID info, PhoneTray would immediately receive 2 more calls without Caller ID info (Unavailable, N/A). Every call had this bizarre reaction.I looked at the driver and the option to rollback was grayed out. Initially, I thought there was nothing to rollback because it was the original driver. After researching, however, Windows had replaced the generic driver (2.2.98) with the latest driver (2.2.102).HiRO has a how-to article to rollback the driver: - Internet search the following: hiro h50113 driver - Look for an article on hiroinc dot com - Click H50113 External USB Modem Driver roll back to 2.2.98 after update to 2.2.10I also configured Windows to stop automatically updating drivers: - Internet search the following: 4 Easy Ways to Disable Windows 10 Auto Update! - Look for an article on drivereasy dot com - Click the fourth stepOther than that, it's a good modem.

IT NOW WORKS! UPDATE: The modem has been working well now for a couple months. I've manually copied the Windows 7 version of the fax driver app and overwritten the Windows 8/8.1 version. Prior to doing this none of the USB modems we tried worked. So it was a Windows software problem. There are several websites that will walk you through overwriting the FXST30.dllPros:Good documentation in the box and online.Blue LEDs on device show status.12" long USB cable, device doesn't sit directly at PC's USB port.2 phone line ports on device, line in and pass-through.Function: Plugged into Win 8.1 laptop. Device was recognized and LSI 2.0 drivers installed automatically (no CD ROM so cannot utilize included CD). Restarted PC. LEDs operational. Computer recognizes, Windows Fax & Scan recognizes. Unfortunately we've only had success sending to one of five different recipients so far. The Hiro device dials out, clearly sounds like it connects to the receiving machines, but then fails to transmit. I took the extra step of downloading the drivers for Win 8.1/64 from the Hiro website, and installed, but that changed nothing. I have no idea why it sends and receives perfectly from one recipient but fails to all the others. Still working on this issue. The internal fax modem on our ancient Dell XP machine has no issues sending and receiving faxes, but I really want to put that machine out to pasture...

I had been using the PhoneTray call screening software for a couple of years with an old, nearly-dead laptop that had a built-in modem. After two years of running it 24/7, the old laptop was starting to fail. I had to get a new laptop to run PhoneTray, but couldn't find one with a built-in modem. I bought this to fill the gap. It worked perfectly, plug-and-play, on both the old laptop (Vista) and the new one (8.1). I am very relieved!I tested it first on the old dying laptop that already had PhoneTray installed (an old Toshiba Satellite). Plugged it in to the USB, plugged it into the phone line. It took a few seconds to recognize it and set it up automatically, nothing I needed to do in Windows. I went into PhoneTray's settings to change which modem it was using, then called the phone it was plugged into. PhoneTray answered the call through the HiRO modem exactly as it is supposed to.I then bought the cheapest laptop I could find that had Windows (for PhoneTray), WiFi (for updates) and USB (to plug this in). This was also a Toshiba Satellite. Plugged HiRO into the USB, plugged it into a phone line, and a few seconds later I heard a chirp that I assumed meant the device was recognized. Installed PhoneTray on the new laptop and again called the phone. PhoneTray answered the call through the HiRO modem on the new laptop exactly as it is supposed to.I am very happy that this was able to fill the gap! And the price is right!

Very good modem but you have to install driver from their website. Default driver that MS Windows will install WILL NOT work reliably for sending and receiving FAXes. You must install proper driver and it should be listed as LSI USB 2.0 Soft Modem in device manager. No problems after that. Also you cannot use more than one modem, it is not supported by driver.I had to buy different brand (MultiTech ZBA can handle multiple modems) to use for the second FAX line on the same system.

Excelente!!!!!!!!!! recomendable y super en tiempo, muchas gracias, quiero otro!!!! al mismo precio!!!! muchísimas gracias!!! altamente recomendable, muy util y en excelentes condiciones, vino con todas las piezas, ademas de cd y cable telefonico para conectar de una vez, gracias

Bought this MODEM for FAX. Works as advertized (Win7 X64) and runs cool. At the price of $20, I highly recommend it as it is portable and transferable to another computer easily being a USB device.My only complaint is that I prefer the USB connector be built-in or have a short, built-in, USB cable stub for easy transport.Did not test non-FAX functionalities as I don't have a dial-up account, though.

I use this to dial out on land lines through Outlook so i can track my calls and take notes direct in Outlook while the call is in progress. It just works, every time.

Fonctionne parfaitement bien sur win10 à l'aide de Essential Fax 1.83.0Mon ordi est un MacMini (2014)
