    Who are you with? NTL? Then you can't afaik. You just connect the modem to the router.

    Ok, I forgot, the modem is embedded in the router, so the problem is the router has no WAN port, right?

    Hmmm I don't think there's any way around that. You'll probably have to get a regular wireless router.

    Yeah the problem is getting an rj45 into an rj11 - no such thing as an adapter of some sort?

    Thanks for your help...

    No this will not work.

    You need an ethernet router. There is no adapter to do what you want to do.

    Wouldn't make any difference. The problem is that the WAN port is connected internally to the embedded adsl modem. The only external input for the DSL line, which you can't connect your cable to. It's like connecting a modem to another modem.
