My internet connection is 1mb ntl via samsung stb and my operating system is XP Professional, my router is a belkin adsl modem with wireless g router the salesman said it would work with my cable ethernet connection? so ummm what do i do? do i connect the router to the white ethernet cable that comes from my stb? what do i connect to the laptop? would really appreciate a step by step guide! i'm clueless here! model number of router is F507632-4?!

If its an ADSL router then i am afraid it will not work,you require a cable dsl router
