[QUOTE="Kash, post: 400831, member: 23444"] A wireless router doesn't plug right into the phone line, it plugs into the DSL modem. Your current setup has the phone line plugging into a small box of some kind, and then an ethernet wire runs from that to your PC, correct? If that's the case, what you have to do is instead of plugging the ethernet cord coming out of your modem into the PC, plug it into the port labeled Internet on your wireless router. Then plug the PC into one of your wireless router's ethernet ports. [/QUOTE]
