How to Use the Internet on My PS2 Without a Modem

Installing the PlayStation 2 Network Adaptor

• 1

  Turn off and unplug the PS2 from the electrical outlet. You may also need to unplug the audio and video cables to get access to the rear panel of the PS2.

• 2

  Pull the expansion bay cover off by placing a fingernail in the slot at the top of the cover and pulling toward you. When there is enough space to place your fingers in-between the cover and the expansion bay pull the cover backwards until it slides out of the bay slot.

• 3

  Remove the plastic cover from the network adaptor plug and place the adaptor into the expansion bay with the network port at the top of the adaptor.

• 4

  Press the adaptor in firmly to push the connector into the PS2.

• 5

  Lock the adaptor into the expansion bay by turning the two screws on the adaptor clockwise. You may need to turn the PS2 console face-down to line the screws up with the expansion bay slots. Tighten the screws using a coin.

• 6

  Plug the power, video and audio cables back into the PS2.

Creating the Network Configuration

  Turn on the console and open the disc tray.
