Well first of the Difference between V.90/V.92 is Supposed to be (I think) Transfer Speeds. Unfortunatly most ISP services dont support V.92. V.90 is the current technology. The best way to find out what you have is to take the modem out of the PC and look at it. If you get into warrenty issues with this. Take it to where you got it and make them show you. In todays computer market it is easy to "confuse" customers and trick them into thinking they have something they dont.

By system Manger you mean DEVICE MANAGER correct? What exactlu does it say? Please let us (Tek-tips members) know if the solutions we provide are helpful to you. Not only do they help you but they may help others.

The difference between v.90 and v.92 is uplink speed. v.90 supports a maximum of 33600bps uplink, whereas v.92 supports 48000bps uplink connection speed. Your download speeds will remain the same as the downstream connection speeds are unchanged.

Here's a complete explanation of V.92

The problem is, if your ISP doesn't support it, there's no point in using it. v.90 is plenty until the ISP's catch up with the technology. Cheers,
