A ADSL router should have an ADSL modem built in so you do not use you current USB modem.

If your router does not have a socket to plug your phone line into you probably have a cable router and this is wrong for your setup.

Thanks for the reply.I live in lanzarote but my adsl modem only connects to my pc via a short cable small usb connection on modem end with a normal usb on the pc end.The wireless router only has provision for ethernet connection.Can I get a cable to suit or can I get adapters that will work.

As I said you need a ADSL router, adaptors do not exist.

So do I connect the adsl router to the adsl modem and then to the wireless router.Sorry to be slow on this but am new to this type of problem.
