Well in that case we can't presume how do you connect it to your machine by usb I think mine is but I also have Ethernet RJ-45 which if you didn't know looks like a phone line one but as more pins.
Sorry but its the funnist modem I have seen weird.
A router as mentioned before, allows you to route all incoming DSL traffic coming from your line to various different devices.
Depending on your router, your PCs will require a 10/100Mbps PCI ethernet card each. Your XBOX will have an ethernet port as well.
for "saftey" should i go buy a decent well known adsl modem ?

I'm assuming you mean the cable that connects to the phone line.Originally posted by monkeyhead@7 December 2003 - 11:29
dont be so negativerouters are the stuff that routes ur traffic 
can't be more general than that i was worried u r too noob to read it 
any way it has a little spliter thin on the actual cable which i presume is Ethernet RJ-45
That little splitter thing on the cable is a dsl filter. It stops you getting high frequency whistling on the phone. It is NOT an ethernet RJ45 connector.
You won't be able to use a router with your speedtouch usb modem, as you have gathered you need an ethernet connection between your modem and your router so you need to get a new modem too. Or you can get a combined modem/router. There's a single port one here if you've already got a hub/switch, or a four port one here which combines a four port hub too..
