That article was referring to connecting the 806 to a DSL modem (aka Cable Modem, CM) as used by NTL & Telewest. Afaik you have an ADSL connection which uses a completely different modem.

Reading the review of the DSL-300T, there is a section titled "Using the D-Link DSL-300T with a router" which talks about how to get a braodband router working behind the modem. So, your Cisco router should work with a DSL-300T, but as I said it costs almost the same as a Linksys box and means you have two devices doing the job that one could do!

Bottom line - get an ethernet ADSL modem and you should be able to use the Cisco.
