How to Check DSL Sync

Checking for a DSL sync is one of the first things you should do if you detect problems with your connection. To use a DSL Internet connection, Internet service providers provide a DSL modem that you connect to your PC or router to connect to the DSL network. The actual term for being connected to the DSL network is known as DSL synchronization, or DSL sync. When the modem is sending and receiving information from the internet, DSL sync is active.
