External Modem For Windows 10 Laptop

[9.2 x 6 x 3"] I often use my modem on, a Windows 10 computer, to make phone calls, and need to hear the dial-up sounds - to make sure the call is going through, and there is no busy signal. I tried 2 other modems (Lenovo & Sewell) that didn't produce dial-up sounds. Based on the recommendation of a US Robotics tech support rep., I tried the US Robotics model USR5639. It does make dial-up sounds, and dials very fast.

[0.3 lb] This works great with Windows 10 Home x64 using Windows Fax and Scan. I did not want to use up an expansion slot in the back of the computer so this just plugs into an open USB port in the back. In order to leave it plugged in I got a USB extension so I can have the modem laying on top of the computer. Then I can just plug in the phone line whenever I want to send or receive a fax. Works great that way because I only had to install it once and it starts up every time the computer is turned on. Installation was very easy. Just remember to go in and manually turn on the modem settings and do an update to the drivers.

[0.335 lb] A USB-C to DisplayPort adapter was necessary to connect an external monitor to the office supplied Windows laptop. This fairly inexpensive adapter does the job well with no video artifacts while performing typical office tasks. When connected the monitor was instantly recognized by the OS and the adapter didn't cause any issues.

[0.02 oz / 0.7 g] I bought these for our company to do at home recorded videos on their laptops with better audio quality than the built in laptop microphone. I just tested it and compared it to the laptop mic and there is a very noticeable increase in quality when using the usb lav. At first it was way too over modulated but then I realized I needed to tweak the mic settings in windows 10. First, plug it in and let it download the drivers automatically. Then, type the word sound in the windows 10 search bar and click sound settings. In there, go to the microphone area and make sure the usb lav is the active one selected. Once it is, click on device properties and in that menu adjust the volume slider until you have a proper microphone level that isn't topping out too much to the right on the sound level bar. I put mine around 40-50 but it depends on how close the mic is to you mouth.
