You will need an ADSL router, it must me a modem router not just a router.

It will then need programing with your ISP settings and will take the place of your current modem and software on the PC which can be uninstalled.

If it doesn't have a ADSL modem built in, no.

That is a cable router.

You need an ADSL Modem/Router combined, the one you want will allow you to plug in the telephone cord.

And, yes, it will take the place of all your current hardware and software.
