Hi Aragorn,

From memory the Actiontec wireless router I have has 1 x ethernet port identified as DSL/ethernet which I was instructed to connect to my NTL DSL/Cable modem Ethernet port, my router has 1 x other ethernet port left alone, and 1 x USB port which under instruction I have connected into my desktop USB.
