Macca65 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Can anyone advise me if there is such a thing as a DSL adapter?. I have a AsUs modem/router which has a DSL port. However my DSL line is connector is smaller than the ASUS DSL port, hence the question. I have tried looking on tinternet, but not sure if I am looking for the right thing! Anyone know if such a thing exists, as I would like to use the ASUS in place of my BT HH5 Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 you need an rj11 to rj45 lead. What is the model of your asus? mine is dsl ac68u? all depends on you wall socket for your dsl, is it a mk3 which has the dsl port on the face plate or do you have to use a filter?

Macca65 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yeah now realised that the DSL port is to plug in your DSL/cable modem! What a d***head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zennon Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That is to be used with a separate modem it does not have an RJ11 socket only a RJ45 Ethernet port to go from the modem to the router. Edit : I see you have already surmised this Macca65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 the port can be used as a wan port or directly connecting to a dsl modem such as the openreach modems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
