My Rosewill modem does not work after I upgraded my computer to Windows 8.1. Any suggestion to make it work please?

My reading of the specs does not indicate that it will operate with windows 8. If it did before you upgraded to windows 8.1, then I have no solution.

Yes(suggestion). Window's 8.1 rarely requires special drivers. Try installing an older driver in unsigned driver mode. Windows eight will need to be specially booted into this "unsafe" mode(just for the driver install,, after installation standard booting is fine.) Manually click update driver from the malfunctioning device. I gotten even ancient XP-designed equipment to run with unsigned drivers like this, where other have said no way will it run.

You might need to check the Rosewill website and see if they have an updated driver for windows 8.1. If it is not on the website you may need to contact them to see when and if they have that available.

My understanding is that you need to have Windows Fax & Scan installed. If the 8.1 version does not have it, maybe you can download the program separately.

you may try this latest Win 8 driver for this usb modem, version 2.0.23.0:http://www.rosewill.com/support/Support_Download.aspx?ids=3_154_328_1164&flag;=dAlso the Microsoft community has some suggestions how to reset the modem that may help, google your problem and several links come up.

I just bought it, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work. I'll write back if I ever learn how to get it to work. It's not worth having to send it back and wait. So, no- it does not work, accroding to MY experience. It is not recognized at all by my system no matter how I try to access or recognize it. It has zero directions for troubleshooting this issue.

I have Windows 8.1 and still have the disconnection problem, even after following others' advice here and changing USB power settings and updating drivers from the Mediatek website. So, yes it works, but will drive you crazy disconnecting and reconnecting.

The only way the WIFI wont work is the PCI internal modem is not working/bad. The modem should autoinstall with any windows/ubuntu OS.

Used the modem with Windows 8 just for a test call and that worked. Have not used for a work related issue yet. Think I called Star Tech for application to use on my Windows 8 system.

3/2011 purchased a Rosewill RNX-N2LX usb N 300mbps and it works with anything. SURPRISINGLY! Has 2 adjustable receiving antennas. I'd never tried Rosewill before but have 3 of their products and they work! 2 portable usb harddrive enclosures. Newegg has this wireless adapter on sale right now for $20 including shipping.

i agree with William below it should work with 8.1 mine had 7 on it also. the problem is that if only on dial up in this day and age is that you cant possibly upgrade any part on your os. it would have taken me 3 years of steady dialup to go from windows 8 to 8.1 if the computer would have even acknowledged that i had an internet connection.

Hi there I could not get my Belkin to work. My problem was trying to connect it to a replacement main modem. I tried following all of the instructions I could find and nothing worked so I finally gave up and bought a Netgear modem. The Netgear modem works fine. I'm trying to find someone who perhaps is more computer savvy than me that I can give the Belken to. sorry I can't be more help

T. Gruzka,Let me know when you do the reformat and if it works. I assume you have Comcast.

I had to contact my internet provider (TWC) and give them information off the modem so that their system would recognize it. I imagine you would have to do that with your provider also.

I'm sorry, I didn't see your question until today. I don't know about windows 8.1, but this cable didn't work at all for me. My radio just freezes as soon as I insert the cable. :-( Cheers!

yes, there is no reason why it should not work. The real question is does windows 7 support this type of modem. Most systems are backwards compatible so this should work even with window 8. If you have program that will do this like the program that magic jack uses then there is no reason that this would not let you do this.

You do have to call them. They will need to add the address of the modem so it will work properly.

Honestly..... It doesnt't work with any modem.... Or at least all I've tried.

I also cannot connect to the internet service of TW with this modem. On the activation process, error message is displayed "your modem is not approved by TW". If there is solution, please let me know.
