U.S. Robotics' external 56K faxmodem (model USR325686E) is designed to make your dial-up connection as fast and easy-to-use as possible. An e-mail with attachments will fly from your out box up to 50-percent faster than it would from competing devices. Quick Connect lets you establish your connection rapidly, so you spend less time simply getting going. Worried about missing calls while you're online? Let that one go: a U.S. Robotics feature called Internet Call Notification (ICN) lets you screen incoming calls so you can take the important ones. Even better, Modem on Hold lets you take calls while online without dropping your Internet connection--there's no need for a second phone line. The modem's ControlCenter lets you customize your upload and download speeds--choose to surf the Web at top speed or to send e-mail attachments faster. Built-in line-probing technology helps you stay connected even under the worst line conditions, and the modem is software-upgradeable, too, so you can download new features and enhancements as they become available. Included software turns your computer into a feature-rich fax machine--send faxes from any Windows application and receive incoming faxes at any time. The software also supports delayed and broadcast faxing. The modem is compatible with Windows XP, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Linux, and DOS. What's in the Box U.S. Robotics 56K Faxmodem, AC power adapter, RJ-11 phone cord (7 feet), quick-installation guide, installation CD-ROM. Note: call waiting and Caller ID require service from your local phone company. From the Manufacturer U.S. Robotics has been building the world's best modems for over 25 years, and now we're bringing you the latest in modem technology. The U.S. Robotics 56K* external faxmodem combines the superior performance and reliability of a controller-based modem with the convenience of V.92 technology. V.92 technology lets you send e-mail and attachments faster, get online quicker, and even take incoming phone calls without losing your Internet connection. Getting a better connection is as easy as the three-step installation procedure. V.92 offers exciting features and improvements over the old V.90 standard. These features may not immediately be available with all ISPs. (Contact your ISP to find out when they will be updating their servers to include V.92 technology.) V.92 offers: Modem on Hold Modem on Hold "suspends" your online session for incoming calls and returns to your online activities after your conversations without redialing. Please note that call-waiting service from your telephone company is required. Quick Connect Quick Connect "remembers" line conditions from the previous session, bypasses portions of the training sequence, and gets you online faster. Reduce your dial-up connection time as much as 50 percent! V.PCM This enhancement makes the online experience faster and better for those who send information instead of just Web surfing. If you're a gamer, you'll be able to send your commands at greater speed than your opponents who have outdated modems! V.PCM Upstream reaches upstream speeds up to 48 Kbps and lets you choose either the fastest downstream speed (up to 53 Kbps) or a "balanced" connection of downstream and upstream communication. Whether or not your ISP currently supports the new V.92 technology, you can take advantage of ICN (Internet Call Notification) immediately! ICN allows you to see who's attempting to call while you're spending time online. Since V.92 is backward compatible to older technologies, you'll be ready to enjoy the benefits of V.92 as soon as your ISP upgrades! *Capable of receiving at up to 56 Kbps and sending at up to 48 Kbps (or 31.2 Kbps with V.90 server). Due to FCC regulations, receiving speeds are limited to 53 Kbps. Actual speeds may vary. V.92 and V.90 features require compatible phone line and support from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). U.S. Robotics modems featuring V.92 enhancements are backward compatible and will negotiate the highest possible speed when connecting to an ISP. ## Features - Connect to the Internet quickly and easily; installs in three simple steps - Send e-mail and attachments up to 50-percent faster - Send faxes from any Windows application and receive incoming faxes at any time; software-upgradeable - Take incoming calls while online with no additional phone lines - Built-in processor enables smoother streaming audio/video ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00006HXM0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,860 in Computers & Accessories (See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories) #81 in Computer Networking Modems | | Brand | USRobotics | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Router | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (54) 4.3 out of 5 stars | | Data Transfer Rate | 56 kilobits_per_second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00738168033485 | | Internet Service Provider | Multiple wired internet service providers | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Manufacturer | US Robotics | | Maximum Downstream Data Transfer Rate | 56 megabits_per_second | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 0.05 megabits_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | USR5686E | | Model Number | USR5686G | | Modem Type | Data Fax | | Number Of Ports | 1 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 052463544072 738168009312 738168033485 | | Warranty Description | 2 years warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** USRobotics - **Internet service provider:** Multiple wired internet service providers - **Connectivity Technology:** Wired - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Router - **Color:** red ## Images ![US Robotics V.92 USR5686E External Modem + Fax, 56K - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516CmkihqIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a thing as a reverse Pollyanna? *by on Reviewed in the United States January 26, 2006* You know, I look at these other reviews and can't understand them. I have used US Robotics modems since they came out with the speedy 2400 bps model back in 80-something. Never had any complaints. The only reason I ever replaced one was more speed! The first exception was the 56K one I bought on ebay 5 years ago. Paid $25 for it and it worked perfectly until 1/22/2006. For some reason, it couldn't pick up the phone. Enter Amazon and this modem. I ordered it at 4 PM CST on 1/23 and it was here by noon on 1/24. I unplugged the old modem and just put the same cables into the new one. First dial out didn't connect but have had five now that did (as of midnight). No connections at less than 40K and one at 48K! First time I ever hit that speed in all my years of dial-up.I don't know how the software drivers in this package are but I can testify to the ones I have been using for 3 years. It has been my experience with USR that you must be positive which modem you actually have and get the right drivers. They used to have a tool that you download that would tell you what drivers you needed.I find it hard to believe that the other four reviews here had such uniformly bad experiences. I would not use a dial up modem from any other company. I live well out in a rural area of Louisiana and will not have a faster way of accessing the Internet anytime soon. I did not hesitate to buy this modem.Your milage may vary. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old Style Modem But it Works *by on Reviewed in the United States January 6, 2013* I have to use this modem to communicate with traffic signal controllers. It works and is very reliable. Its easy to set up and small so does not take a lot of space inside the cabinet. Can't go wrong with this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good old reliable US Robotics modem *by on Reviewed in the United States November 14, 2025* This is exactly what I needed to get remote communication established to a PBX. I powered it up and moved the dip switches and sent the commands to program it for use. Move the switches to normal operation and hooked it up. Worked exactly like it's supposed to. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2793358-us-robotics-v-92-usr5686e-external-modem-fax-56k](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2793358-us-robotics-v-92-usr5686e-external-modem-fax-56k) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
