One Ethernet/Cat 5 cable
One power adapter

What else do I need?

You will need to have modem or router with Ethernet connection to network your computers because the BT Voyager 1500 does not have an integrated modem."""
Aha ... hang on. All bets off. I misread your initial post, saw DSL and thought it was a modem/router.

That unit is just a simple wireless router and the RJ45 line in is so you can plug your NTL modem into it via ethernet. I believe you should use a straight-through cable.

AFAIK you don't need anything else and it shouldn't need configuring - power everything off, connect modem > router > PC, then switch it all on in that order, waiting for each device to boot before switching on the next. It should just work ...
