How to Set Up USB Modem on Linux – Guide
To connect a USB modem to a computer, you first need to install the necessary drivers. Once the drivers are installed, you can use the USB modem to connect to the Internet. However, unlike Windows where it is easy to connect a USB modem and use it for Internet access, Linux and Ubuntu are not as simple as this. To connect a USB modem on Linux, you will need to first create an account on the device and then install the appropriate driver. For Ubuntu, this can be done by following these steps:
- Open Terminal and type “sudo apt-get update”.
- Type “sudo apt-get install usb-storage”
- Type “sudo usb-storage add /dev/ttyUSB0”
- Type “sudo usb-storage remove /dev/ttyUSB0”
- Reboot your computer.
Most USB modems do not include Linux drivers, so USB modems will not work properly on Linux. The ideal solution is to install USB modem drivers on Linux and Ubuntu computers and simply configure up your Internet connection to make the USB modem work. However, in order to do this, you will need to first install a USB driver on your computer. This article will walk you through setting up a USB modem on Linux and Ubuntu.
Context up a network connection
The computer should detect the USB device and show a “New Mobile Broadband connection notification”. Click the network (WiFi) icon in the system tray. A drop-down menu with “Edit Connections” between the menu items will appear up. The computer should detect that you have a new mobile broadband connection and show you a list of available networks. The first network that is listed will be your current network, but if you have added more than one mobile broadband connection then the list will be sorted in alphabetical order based on your current location. The second network that is listed will be a new mobile broadband connection that has been added to your account. If you have not added a mobile broadband connection yet then the list will show all of your current mobile broadband connections in order from oldest to newest.
