How to use this page

DriverHub US does not host installers. Read the family page for the hardware you own, work out which package applies to your exact model and Windows edition, then use the official-source citation provided for that decision. A component-branded family may still require the company that built your computer or motherboard rather than Multiple vendors; follow the declared package source on the family page.

Modems

Fax-capable Modem (inbox driver)

A fax-capable modem is an analog modem that can also send and receive faxes, and Windows Fax and Scan drives it through the same inbox modem driver. These live on in offices and clinics that still send documents over a phone line, and they rarely need any manufacturer software. If faxing fails, confirm the modem is detected in the Modems section and that Windows Fax and Scan is pointed at the right device.

Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11

Windows Fax and Scan uses the inbox modem driver for supported hardware.

Modems

Generic USB Cellular Modem (mobile hotspot / dongle)

This family covers the plug-in USB sticks and pocket hotspots that carriers hand out to add cellular data to any PC. Most present themselves to Windows using an inbox driver the moment they are connected, but the connection manager that activates the SIM and shows signal typically comes from the carrier or the dongle maker. Because these devices are carrier-locked and self-contained, they rarely need anything beyond that supplied software.

Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11

Many USB modems use inbox Windows drivers; obtain any extra software from your carrier or device maker.

Modems

Standard Analog Modem (inbox driver)

This is the classic dial-up modem that turns an analog phone line into a slow data connection, still found in point-of-sale terminals, alarm panels, and older industrial gear. Windows recognizes most of these with a built-in driver, so there is usually nothing to download, and the protocols involved have not changed in decades. When one fails to dial, the phone line, COM port, and dialing rules are far more likely culprits than the driver.

Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11

Legacy analog/dial-up devices typically use the inbox Windows driver.
