Has anyone successfully got this modem to work with Windows 8? Dell Inspiron 3646 continues to give error code 678. ISP says modem problem. Help???

I have a Gateway desktop running Win8. To me it was plug and play. Error 678?. Are you plugging a phone line capable of receiving fax to it(No Magic Jack, etc.) ?. If so, do you know if you need to dial a prefix (1, 9, etc.)?

NO.. Actually I sent this modem back. I did replace it, however, with a "TELEPHONY" modem that is just like the one I was renting from Comcast. I didn't realize my error in reviewing this item until after I hit ENTER. sorry

hey anita, I don't know why the don't update the inst. CD , but alfa tech supt. is excellent . this is what I got from them : Windows 8/8.1 built-in driver for AWUS036H so you can plug AWUS036H into your newly installed Windows 8 and Windows Hardware Wizard will search & install driver for you automatically. Or you can visit our blogger for manual installation guide, http://alfanetworkinc.blogspot.tw/2012/11/alfa-wifi-usb-adapter-on-windows-8.html . Or AUTO INSTALLATION 1.Make sure you PC is connecting to Internet 2. Plug AWUS036H into USB port directly 3. Add Hardware Wizard will search & install driver for you automatically INSTALL DRIVER MANUALLY (That's t take AWUS036H as example) 1. Plug in AWUS036H into Windows 8 and launch Device Manager 2. Expend your Network adapters section in Device Manager, click on Settings -&gt; PC Info -&gt; Device Manager 3. Right click on AWUS036H (Realtek RTL8187 Wireless .... ) and select Update Driver Software .. 4. Press Browse button to locate driver for AWUS036H for Windows 7 where is located in CD as shown in following picture. ALFA tech support also sometimes the driver stops working / just rt click the Wi-Fi icon and hit trobuleshooter / it will reboot the driver/ good luck / PJM

I'm not sure...I would say no, just because the modem says ver.3. However, I never had any problems with it. Thanks

Hi there, I bought this device a while ago. It is kind of outdated. It was meant for older versions of Windows like XP and below. There might newer hardware that is Win 7 compatible. If you still want to give it a shoot, try installing the "latest" driver from the vendors website, http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/adapters/USBBT100 Click downloads and choose hardware version 2.0. Good luck

My internet provider has a web site that I could check and see what modems worked. You might try checking with them.

I am sorry I cannot help you with this. When we decided to purchase our modem, we bought the same kind that we rented from our cable internet provider. We knew for certain that it would work.

If you mean a Regular Modem, No. There is a Ethernet (the bigger phone plug looking thing) to plug in for high speed internet. I don't suggest this computer with Windows 8. It was confusing for my 73 year old father in law. I suggest it with Windows 7 for anyone over 30 to be honest.

What is the "black box" that you have been provided by the Satellite internet company? I need to know this to help you so that I can determine the proper type of connection you should make from the Satellite internet providers hardware. If you have the make, model and even serial number, I would be happy to research for you further. Please get back to me and I will help as best I can. Don't give up, yet!

I have a wireless modem through my ISP and had no trouble connecting to the internet once I set up account information in Windows 8 (the operating system that came with all new computers when I bought this one). There are some differences in Windows 8 however that you have to adapt to if you've never used it before. I suggest getting a user manual to be answer any questions you might have along the way, and review any online forums that have first-hand answers from actual users!

The modem comes with everything you need including a setup disk which worked for me despite the experience of some other reviewers. I have had the modem for several months with no problems and would recommend it. When something happened to my Internet connection, I found that unplugging the modem adapter, waiting several seconds, and then replugging it returned operation to normal. You can look at the actual manual via the company's link (following); it includes the list of contents in the box. http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DSL/DSL%20520B/Manual/DSL-520B_Manual_US.pdf

This exact thing happened to me. I was incredibly frustrated and spent hours on it trying to figure out the problem. I was never able to connect to the internet, so I gave up and returned it. I was so disappointed. I ran Windows diagnosis and kept getting winsock errors. I'm not computer savvy enough to try and fix it, so back it went. :(

I found this same problem! I have spent many hours on the phone with Cox and Belkin about this issue. Seriously, on the phone with Belkin support for three hours today. I'm not getting anywhere at all.

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

Your ISP only needs the MAC address of the modem. Comcast also asked for the Manufacturer, Model No. and Serial No. I believe they just want to make sure it is compatible and if there is any issues what specific unit is giving problems. This unit has worked flawlessly on the Comcast network.
