I think you're going to have to buy the ADSL router.


You can turn the 54g into a wire/wireless switch and plug it into the ADSL
router. Wire and wireless computers can use the 54G as a switch and the
ADSL router will be the gateway device. You can plug a standalone print
server into the 54g too. If you set it up right machines conneded to both
routers can share resources.
