US Robotics V.92 (USR5686D) Modem [Posted on 2002-04-19] This product IS NOT backwards compatible with 56KFlex or V.90 service providers even though US Robotics claims "V.90 56K and x2 technology compatible". It may function correctly if your service provider has upgraded to the new V.92 digital service but, if not, you'll be very disappointed and very lucky to connect as high as 28Kbps. US Robotics admits the modem has problems connecting at advertised speeds with V.90 service providers and I would not recommend purchase until US Robotics can prove they have fixed the flaw.
USR makes great modems; this one is no exception... [Posted on 2002-08-06] Never had a problem with ANY US Robotics modem. Always a strong-man in the modem arena. A real modem (i.e., hardware; not a software "Win Modem").
U.S. Robotics V.92 (USR5686D) Modem 2007 Update [Posted on 2007-09-06] Most Internet Service Providers, today (2007), have V.92 digital support for this modem. Call your I.S.P. to find out if they provide V.92 connection capability, thus ensuring that this modem will work for your purpose. This is a very good hardware based modem from one of the best modem manufacturers in the world. :-)
