My verizon DSL service comes through the phone line. My new wifi router has only ethernet input. Will this product work for me?

No, your DSL service needs a DSL modem between the incoming DSL phone line and your router. The modem will provide a phone port and an ethernet port. This product could then be used to plug into the phone port to use ethernet cable to carry the phone signal across your building where it can be converted back to provide a phone jack connection to plug in your phone.

Yes the product should work. The smaller end of the cord will plug into the service wall jack and the larger end will plug intoyour router ether port.

No, it'll take whatever address the router issues because nothing needs to connect to the phone. The phone connects with whatever voip service you use, so as long as it can reach the Internet and no one is filtering voip traffic you're good.

Hi Linda P.,I see no reason why it wouldn't work as a basic connection modem to ANY DSL-service-provider's Internet input, including that of Century Link. I have AT&T; as my DSL provider because Century Link isn't available in my Zip Code. Century Link DSL service is available in some vicinities nearby to my area in Orlando, FL, but is not available where I live. My problem wasn't getting the ADSL2+ to connect to the Internet via my DSL service, but in getting this modem to work w/ my wireless home network, once I had a direct DSL connection to the Internet. I hope this comment helps you.Best wishes,Anthony J.

The router has worked great for me. I currently use Charter cable internet and have no problems. Prior to that I had AT&T; DSL and it worked fine also. Unsure about Verizon DSL. Hope this helps.

I am currently useing the Pluglink Ethernet Adapter and I HAVE AT&T DSL. I am not sure why they are not working for you. I am sure you are utilizing it correctly but mine worked by connecting an Ethernet cable directly out of the AT&T WiFi modem to one of the Pluglinks that is plugged into the wall. Then another Ethernet cable is plugged into an additional Pluglink in another room, that goes directly to the computer.

Other answers are correct, but wanted to add that most Cable or DSL connection boxes include a router and often a WiFi base station. So you probably have a single box that acts as both modem and router, and probably has a few (3 - 4) ethernet ports. If you need more ports at the location of this device, or at the end of of an ethernet cable coming from this device, use a switch.

You are correct that it has to be plugged in to an Ethernet port, usually a router to work correctly on a digital line. If you use the phone port it may work, but the phone port is not deigned for digital line.

Doug, you do not say which service provider you have and this is an AT&T; DSL MODEM/ROUTER, works on the AT&T; DSL service. This modem/router has given me great service throughout my home, so if you have AT&T; as an internet provider, yes it will work, if you have trouble installing it, call AT&T; and they will walk you through the installation and if you have a different internet provider, I am not sure if it will work but should for it is made by Netgear for AT&T; and Netgear should work with all service providers. You should contact Netgear or your provider and ask if it will work with your service.

It will if the phone connection on the router is an ethernet jack, you must have phone service (dial tone) at the router. The cable does not give you phone service, it changes how you can get it from one place to another.

very involved answer. I don't recall if the DSL modem defaults to 192.168.1.1 or what. The bottom line is you have to put the DSL modem on it's own subnet (192.168.1.1) and the router on another subnet (192.168.2.1) or vice versus. The router should find the DSL modem as a device and configure itself accordingly...to get to the internet.I tried this DSL modem and it failed on me several times in a week of use. So I sent it back. Even tried two of them - same results.

Depends on what service you have. The type of modem is different for DSL vs. Cable vs. Gateway (a modem that allows for phone service). Also, some modems work with some providers and not others: Verizon vs. Comcast vs. Other. Once you answer the first issue, you can narrow down a host of good modems (except for Gateways--there aren't too many good ones of those out there). Then you can compare the modem with the provider's compatibility lists.What service provider do you have and what kind of modem type do you need?

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure about finding the router's advanced settings since it was given to us by the phone company. There's no software or anything. I guess I could call Verizon for help if I can't find where to enter the PIN. I'll also give the unit some time to connect. Thanks for your input.

if verizon is your phone service then NO - this only boost your wi fi signal - not your phone service

I have a different model of router as well, but it is an Actiontec from Verizon and the signal booster works with it. Just screw off the stick antenna On the router and replace it with the cable from the signal booster,

The short answer is yes. If your DSL service came with a wireless router already, you will need to talk to your provider about disabling it before hooking this up.

Yes! It will work with Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon, etc. and you'll get faster speeds using Ethernet than you will with the wifi.
