WRT54G work with a ADSL line?

Hi all

I have recently moved out and have a ADSL broadband via BT i was wondering would my Linksys WRT54G work with the ADSL line??

Talking to a networking bud said if i pluf the ethernet cable into user 1 instead of the internet port the connection will get shared? Is this right?

Or do i have to buy a ASDL router?

Thanks

Andy

Do you mean you have an ADSL modem to work in conjunction with the router? Because otherwise no, you need a router which has a built-in ADSL modem.

Yer i have a ADSL modem and want to use my already owned WRT54G router with it?

I have tried connecting the ethernet cable into the internet line in port on the router but that didnt work.

I don't see how it would work, unless your ADSL modem doesn't require you to 'dial-up' to establish a connection?

yer the ADSL modem doesnt need to dial up.

A friend has said that if i put the ethernet cable from the modem into the first port then i will be able to share the connection!?

How many computers do you want to attach?
Which adsl modem? Is it a pure modem or a modem router?

It should be possible but your going to have to configure both devices correctly.
