What is the difference between Ethernet and USB?
Ethernet and USB are both types of cables that can connect a computer with a peripheral that works with your computer. Ethernet is a current and widely accepted standard to connect high-speed networks like the type the AOL Broadband is based on. USB is a popular general-purpose way to connect different types of devices to a computer, such as printers, digital cameras, or high-speed modems. Windows 95 will support the Ethernet connection type. Any Windows operating system from Windows 98 and more recent will support both the Ethernet and the USB connection type. AOL Broadband supports and has been tested with both Ethernet and USB types. Your computer must meet minimum system requirement specifications.
