ProsLightweight, easy install, you can use it anywhere there's a phone line, boosts the internet speed slightly, and it's a fair price. Share this Review: Review?2?for?USR5637 USB Modem Overall: 5 [RATINGOF] 5 Ease of Installation: 5 [RATINGOF] 5 Performance: 5 [RATINGOF] 5 Ease of Use: 5 [RATINGOF] 5 Cost-Benefit: 5 [RATINGOF] 5 Reviewed by: CHAPE Location: Illinois Duration of product use: Months Level of expertise: Average Title: PRICE/PRODUCT GOOD Date:?January 21, 2009 ProsMy internal modem for my dimension 3000 stop working after 3 years and the dell Tech suggested this product. It was a breeze to hook up and easy to istall software. from Dell.com If you're looking for a Windows modem this is still a great modem but you can get less expensive software modems. One advantage for Windows users is the bundled BVRP Phone Tools fax, terminal and phone book software. I've used this software with other US Robotics modems and it works great on all versions of Windows from Windows 2000 through Windows 7. Please be aware that it only works with the US Robotics modem and not other modems you may have installed. from Amazon.com Pros: For this modem - none Cons: Modem never would work on three separate platforms. Wouldn't work on win2000, winxp or vista. Contacted support at USR website twice. They NEVER responded. from Newegg.com 56K USB Modem Windows Mac Linux The USR5637 worked out-of-the-box on Puppy Linux 4.1.2 (just clicked connect and chose the defaults). It was more trouble to install on my wife's Mac, since I am not very familiar with the Mac and the USR package insert failed to mention the need to click "advanced" in one panel. from Amazon.com for STEP THREE: INSTALL THE MODEM DRIVER MAC OS X 10.4.3 OR LATER complete steps 1 through 5 then click on the ADVANCED button. Then do step 6, select the modem tab, in VENDOR select other, in MODEL select USRobotics 56K USB modem. Check Enable error correction and compression in modem. from Amazon.com Works flawlessly. Used on Windows XP Pro platform. US Robotics is a very popular name brand and they are well known for their quality modems. Cons: The CD ROM comes with a bunch of apps you don't need. from Newegg.com Although this product's documentation and package label claim that it works with Macintosh, I found (the hard way) that it does not. The details: I bought the product and installed their software (successfully, it said), only to find that it did not auto-answer incoming calls, nor did it receive and handle caller-id information. US Robotics technical support folks were courteous and helpful, but what I learned from them is that my problem had to be corrected by opening a command window (Nerd Alert!) and manually configuring the modem using "Hayes" modem commands. That's because changing its options such as which ring to answer on using the MacOS "System Preferences" window does not work. from Amazon.com Only downside (and it's not this modem's fault - but I'll take a star off anyway) is that it's virtually impossible to get hold of one outside of the US. I had to get it shipped from Amazon to a friend in the US, who then forwarded it on to New Zealand. Come on USR - let's get these things out to the rest of us! Or to Amazon - what's up with the restrictions on shipping this? from Amazon.com Pros: Seems to work fine -- no thanks to US Robotics. Cons: Bought this for an HP "netbook" which has RJ-45 and USB, but no modem. from Newegg.com The US ROBOTICS USR5637 worked the first time, and great ever since. No problems. from Amazon.com
