Phone line to router

jchin · Jul 7, 2014

I just bought the Linksys E2500 (N600) Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router. The problem is it doesn't have a place to put the phone line. What can I use to connect the phone line to the router.

DSL ISP -> modem -> router

You can't plug the DSL phone line directly into the router.

It sounds like you have a DSL service. You would need a DSL modem to convert to standard ethernet for input to the E2500.

Thank You, can you give me a suggestion on how I can get this done? Is there a filter I can use?

jchin :

You need an actual DSL modem. Not a 'filter'.
The modem gets the signal from the ISP, and converts it into something a router can use.

Do you have and pay for DSL service? You can't just plug a router, or even a modem, into a phone line and get internet service.

Lots to choose from with various prices, but Draytek some of the best.

Any external ethernet cord should work. OP, I sure hope you have an actual DSL service because a simple landline =/= instant internet.
