Review: Forget it! - I was upgrading my old computer system and decided to throw in a Windows 7 compatible modem. I was happy with my old U.S. Robotics Software Faxmodem USR5660A, but it was strictly for Windows XP with no new drivers available. It always connected at 45.2K or 44K baud and has a speaker on board. The Trendnet modem seemed a good deal. But it would not connect at more than 33.6K baud. It has no onboard speaker and directs the dialtone and dialup to a sound card. The problem is it does not necessarily direct the audio to the DEFAULT audio card, and there is no way to get it to direct output to the sound card of your choice. I have a sound "card" built into the motherboard plus a pro-recording ASIO sound card. The darn Trendnet modem kept outputting to my unconnected pro-audio card instead of to my default desktop speakers. If you need a Windows 7 compatible PCI modem, stick with U.S. Robotics. The U.S. Robotics V.92 PCI Software Faxmodem USR5670 has drivers available for all Windows operating systems and runs on Windows 7 with the Microsoft driver included within Windows 7 (no additional driver needed.) I shipped my Trendnet modem back to desertcart for a refund. desertcart promptly authorized the return and refunded the payment including return shipping costs. The USR5670 installed and worked fine in my old computer under Windows XP, but would not connect above 44K baud. I could not connect at 45.2K baud as I could with my old USR5560A modem. I kept the USR5670, but this irked me enough to try one more modem. I looked at the U.S. Robotics 56K V.92 Performance Pro Modem USR5610C , a hardware modem. It works with every Windows operating system from MS-DOS through Windows 7 plus Linux. A new USR5610C modem is pricey, but I found and ordered a factory refurbished USR5610C modem available online for only a dozen bucks plus change with free shipping included, a real bargain! The USR5610C easily installed and its flash memory was easily updated with software downloaded from the U.S. Robotics support site. This modem connected at 45.2K baud, and, as an added bonus, it maintained a steadier and faster transfer rate downloading files and surfing than any of the previous software modems I tried. In fact, with this modem I was finally able to successfully download a file I had been unable to download from one website after numerous attempts over many weeks. If you need a low-profile PCI modem, the USR5670 PCI modem includes both standard and low-profile brackets. The USR5610C is a standard size PCI modem and will not fit in a low-profile computer case. The bottom line, forget the Trendnet modem (1 star). The USR5670 software modem works okay (4 stars), but if you see a bargain priced refurbished USR5610C Performance Pro hardware modem (5 stars), go for it! (Note: make sure you get a USR5610C modem, NOT a USR5610A modem. The USR5610A does not run under all Windows systems!)
Review: Bad experience on install and with tech support - I bought because of price and description. I am running a WIN7 64-bit system. I followed the install instructions but it would not install. I called tech support. They had me remove the modem hardware and reinstall. Now I get 9 drivers listed in the device manager. The technicain gave me a case number and said someone would call me within 24 hours. After 36 hours, I called again. I was then told they were very busy and they would return my call in 10 minutes. After 2 hours I called again. I was again told they were very busy and they would definitely return my call within 10 minutes. It is now the next day and no call. Support comes out of Southern India and is available 24/7 for the U.S. and Canada. Stay away from Trendnet - questionable product and horrific support. Documentation is marginal at best.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this modem fit in a slim line computer tower?**
A: Aslong as you have a dial modem slot you should not have a problem. Most are universal fit. It fit my Dell Inpsiron. But it is a desk top style.

**Q: Is the version TFM-PCIV92A (Version B1.xR)?  Version A has been discontinued. Just want to make sure it has the latest version, i.e., Version B1.xR.**
A: Mine is that version, but I can't guarantee that they rotate their inventory.  So if you order one it might or might not be that version.  All I can say is that mine continues to be trouble free!

**Q: Will the internal modem fit in a PCI Express x 16 generation 3 speed slot?**
A: No it will not because this mode connects via a USB port and is external 56k USB Phone/Internet/Fax Modem. So all you need is a USB 2.0 port and plug it into PC and then connect phone line. I use mine for a FAX and my PC is using Windows 7 Professional. It works great as a FAX modem. I have DSL so I do not need it for the internet. I hop this answers question. I have external TRENDnet.

**Q: If the computer the TRENDnet 56K Internal PCI is installed on is turned off can you still receive a phone call through the output port on this modem.**
A: I am not sure

### ⭐ Poor quality, non-existing customer support from Trendnet
*by A***I on September 6, 2013*

I had issues from the get go with this card: it was very hard to install (the plate is about 1/8 of an inch too close to the board). Passed that, the OS does not want to behave with it: it recognized eight different modems out of it and is unable to install properly a driver for any. Contacting Trendnet customer support is like making a prediction with an 8-ball. Their responses are random and unhelpful. This card will go back within the next couple of days. A waste of time and money. Don't bother.
