No, you cannot use a DSL gateway as an Ethernet router. At most it can be used as an access point/switch but that does not help you. You need a standard router.

run ethernet cable from ethernet jack on pc to your modem/router and use one of the lan socket connections, not the wan one. it should be working after your os noticed the connection and aligns it's protocals with the isp's protocals on the modem/router. if you still have problems, contact your isp provider.

if there is only wan connection then u need a separate router to connect to the wan, then u can connect to the router part.

DougLYX :

If he uses the Tenda as a switch (using an LAN port) there will be no router in his network and it is unlikely that his ISP provides more than one IP address (whether static or dynamic) so he will have an unstable network. Better to spend $30 for an inexpensive TP-Link router.

The Tenda WAN port is RJ-11 meant for a DSL telephone line and cannot be converted to RJ-45.
