    More details! Pretty much everything you know about your setup would be good.

    Simple answer ( and I am assuming that the OP taking about ASDL modem/router ) is yes it will work fine here, all you need is settings from you old router.

    This with an asterisk.

    * There are different types of ADSL, the most common in use in Ireland is ADSL2+, it would be wise to check out which protocol your current one uses and make sure the one you buy is compatible. You can probably see this in the modem connection/statistics page. If you're on eFibre or similar then you need VDSL2.
