How to Connect Netzero DSL 50X Using USB

Hook up your Ethernet Internet connection at home.

NetZero is mostly known for its low-cost dial-up Internet service. But the company also offers DSL (digital subscriber line) service. Although this is not as fast as most cable and Internet-based DSL connections, it is typically less expensive. The DSL Internet connection usually runs through the DSL/HomePNA phone jack on your computer. If the system does not have such a port, however, you may choose to connect the the DSL 50X modem to your computer via a USB data cable.

Things You'll Need

• DSL 50X modem
• Ethernet cable
• USB data cable
• Computer
• Driver installation CD

Instructions

1. Insert the Ethernet cable into the Internet port on your wall. Plug the opposite end of the cable into the Ethernet port on your DSL 50X modem.

2. Plug the USB data cable into the USB port on the modem and then insert the opposite end of the cable into one of the USB ports on your computer.

3. Power on the DSL modem and the computer (if not already powered on).

4. Insert the provided driver installation CD. Once the driver appears, click "Next." Accept the license agreement and leave the installation name and location as-is. Click "Install." Then close out the driver installation wizard and launch the Internet browser on your computer to connect to the Internet.
