NO! The ethernet router would need to be configured to accept a DSL signal; that isn'

If you have the right software, yes. I used it for my Dish Network DVR and had to call dish and let them know and with in a few minutes of, "special programing" it was working. It is some type of conversion 'soft ware' and I am sure you can get it online free. A better person to ask might be the one who sale's this item.

You may have a problem, but I doubt that you will. The cable is designed to bypass the situation that you describe.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

My first answer is no, the cable does not make an internet connection out of a telephone line, it converts a telephone phone connection to Ethernet so the phone service can be carried over the Ethernet cable. Usually the conversion would take place on both ends with another RJ45 to RJ11 adapter, when you hook everything up, you still only have a connection for a telephone with dial tone. I use these for connecting the incoming phone service to my patch panel in the basement, which then uses Ethernet cables to carry the signal to an individual room, there I can use another RJ11 to RJ45 adapter to plug the telephone in.

Caitlin, the purpose of a DSL Modem/Router is to connect to the internet and distribute that signal to the various computers, phones, ipads, and such. If you are asking if you can interconnect phones and devices without internet service via the Wi-Fi, I must reply that I don't know for certain but I doubt it will do that.

If you are talking about AT&T; DSL then your answer is yes. You will want to put the modem in pass through mode which your ISP can help you with. I have had very good luck with this router. You may need to power cycle it once in a while. That is fairly normal for most home routers/access points in my experience.

Cable Modem would work through the cable and the Ethernet port on the PC. Don't think they would have any interaction

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

Well I guess it depends on your internet provider, but I was in an apartment with one jack for an ethernet cable in the wall and plugged this product in. I plugged one ethernet cable from the wall to the device and then three ethernet cables coming out to my desktop, xbox, and sometimes even an extra xbox and never had any problems with connection. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Helped me out for sure.

It's a switch not a router. You would have the line coming from your cable/dsl modem go to a router then it would go to the switch. The router handles the natting and the dhcp. If you cable/dsl modem is also a router then you can connect it directly to this for more wired connections.

When connected to my DSL line, it would not connect. I contacted AT&T; and was told by the tech representative that this is NOT an AT&T; supported item. I still have not connected to the internet with it and its 3 days later. I am still trying to connect.

I don't have that setup but I imagine it would work. If you connect it to your router in one room and then the 2nd unit in another room, you get an ethernet jack which is now direct to your router connected via your home wiring. The question would be how you would connect or split the cable ethernet to existing sevice and to where you want to add service. I hope this helps.

You cannot use this directly between your modem and your other devices (guessing that is how you hooked it up) you must use a router in between so it would be Modem -> Router -> Switch. Hooked together in that order.

Hi Garden. This device will work with DSL and Cable connection but no, it is not a modem router. You still need to hard wire it to the modem for sharing of internet connection.

No. The router supplies an ethernet signal, NOT a phone signal. This cable is used to transport an existing analog phone signal over an 8 pair Ethernet cable. It will not change the type of signal coming from your router.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Your Mac doesn't care what device is connecting it to the Internet, as long as the device can talk via Ethernet. The cable modem will connect to your computer via Ethernet and you should be OK.

Just started having this problem too, multiple times per day. Had internet tech come out - he said it's not the cable modem or internet connection, so it must be the router or the yellow cord that connects the router to the modem. He said the cord was wrong anyway - it was for a DSL, so he replaced it. Not sure if that will fix the problem though. I'd hate to have to buy a new router.

Not an answer but another question :-). Does this device also have more ethernet ports (4) like my present router that I use along with my DSL?? I presently have a need for three with equip. adjacent, nearby my router??? TIA for any info.
