You have to connect the modem, that is what receives the signal.

Some routers have a built in modem but the DI-642 doesn't so you will have
to connect a modem to the WAN port. Unfortunately the free one you get from
Wanadoo is a USB one so won't connect to the router. You need an Ethernet
one such as

or a combo router/modem such as
