Does this modem work with Windows 8? I just need to send an occasional fax. Thanks

Yes. If Windows 8 does not detect the modem, use the driver CD. Otherwise, there is an updated Windows 8 driver at hiroinc.com.

Yes. When you get it before you plug it in reboot your PC and give it time to get fully restarted. Then plug it in the USB port you plan to keep it on and give it some time to install itself.

Yes, it definitely does. I use it with Windows 8. The only issue I have had with USB dial up modems is that it appears to stop working properly after downloading or updating software like Norton, AVG, Malwarebytes. Possible cause could be that the Ralink WiFi needs to be uninstalled or disabled. You need to keep a close eye on that to make sure it does stay disabled or uninstalled. In Windows 8, go to Device Manager then locate Network Adaptors and right click on Ralink....... WiFi

Hi, Yes. It should work with Windows 8 OS using the software version 1.4.5.0 that was released last March 27, 2013. You may download it from this link: http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/powerline/PLSK400 then select the Download tab and select Hardware version 1.

I haven't tried Windows 8. It works great with my Windows 7. I checked Verizon's website which confirms it is. Here's the link: http://shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=vzmbb

I purchased this device to have fax capability for my laptop which is running Win7-64. The laptop recognized the fax modem and configured automatically. I sent one test fax using Windows scan & fax and everything worked fine. I rarely have a need for fax but wanted a small USB modem just in case I needed to fax or use dial-up. Otherwise it seems to setup and work fine for my needs.

Yes, if you can get it to FAX anything, you can FAX a PDF. However, I can't get my Windows 7 machine to use this modem, at all.

Yep. Works perfect! Actually 8.1.1 too! But for now you have to use a Win 7 .dll fax printer file since Win 8 has a bug in the required file. Hiro has the required .dll file for download on their website. Also, AFTER you install the modem go to the Hiro website and download their latest Win 8.1 driver. ;-)

I couldn't get it to work with a modem, something about the frequency difference, but I haven't tried it with a fax so I don't know for sure.

yes but it will interrupt the fax transmission. I'm not sure how you are using the modem. It connects to the computer and then the wall. The fax and/or phone are connected via a splitter from the wall jack. But regardless it will disconnect when a fax or a call comes in.

Yes, I use the modem on high speed connection. It's a bit clunky, but it works just fine for the purpose intended. I use it to send faxes.

not sure if it works with any modem but I wouldn't get this. mine came in a sealed box without the stuff the box said it included & I started having problems with it so I had the IT guy from work look at it & the software on it is from 2009

Depends on what Internet service provider you have. Some dial up providers systems are not compatible with windows 8.1. It will install and dial but may not establish a connection. It does work with windows 7.

To be honest I have heard a lot of people having problems with the broadband working with Windows 8. I no longer use mine.

honestly I couldn't tell you if it would work on Windows 8 works fine on 7. this is the fine printer when its functioning but when it goes offline/lose its power it is sometimes difficult to get it to go wifi, not sure if I would recommend it or even get another one. Good luck

No. This device only works for telephone and fax purposes. It does not work as a DSL modem.

I do not know if this helps. I have not used the fax. I see that I have a unimodem service provider Not sure if this helps but you can look under Phone and Modem in your control panel

I don't know who the manufacturer is (or obviously their URL), but I DID find an information sheet that they included with the modem. Under "Operating System Support", is DOES list Windows 8 as being supported. I hope this is sufficient for you...
