I've got a D-link DI-624+ router, which up until now has connected to my NTL's modem & both sitting on top of my base unit. I receive the wireless connection to my laptop through this router, for browsing Internet & fire sharing, etc. NTL's Internet is connected through Ethernet (DSL connection). My PC has NOT got the Wireless card but my laptop has.

I'm now thinking to cancel my NTL's connection & get myself signed-up on www.plus.net Internet. Alongside, what I also wish to do is to move my PC to different room.

If I get the ADSL based connection through www.plus.net, I reckon the connection would be through my BT line downstairs, which is the ONLY BT telephone socket I've at home. Hence to connect this ADSL based Internet, I'll have to establish connection from all the way downstairs’ BT telephone socket to upstairs’ PC.

In order NOT to have to connect downstairs’ BT socket with the router upstairs (so as NOT to have the hassle of “cabling”), alternatively, I could have my D-link router downstairs connected in my BT telephone socket & have a wireless card for my upstairs’ PC, so it can receive signal from the router downstairs. However, if I do so, I need to make sure that my D-link router has a “built-in” modem as well. How do I find that out ??? If it hasn’t got the built-in modem then I’ll have to rely on connecting this router with the modem provided by www.plus.net, which means, I’ll HAVE to keep this router connected to my modem using a “cable” & hence will have to keep it sitting on my base unit (meaning, I’ll have to connect “BT socket downstairs” with this router using a “cable” all the way from downstairs to upstairs, isn’t it).

Shall I have another BT socket installed upstairs, so as NOT to have a cable connecting from downstairs’ socket to upstairs’ router ???

I wonder if anyone around could possibly point me in the right direction & how exactly do I go about establishing the desired connection in an efficient way.

Additionally, I wonder that bearing in mind I wish to establish new connection in a new room now, should I say www.plus.net that I’ve ALREADY got the Internet connection or should I say, I need a brand new connection ??? After all, there’s a massive difference in the way, I’m currently connected (through DSL i.e. through cable drilled through my wall) & what I now want i.e. ADSL based connection (through my telephone line)

If there’s anything unclear with the situation or if anyone wish to ask me further to know something, before they could help me out, please do contact me using my e-mail.

Your post is really confusing...but I think I understood most of it...

Firstly, no, most routers do not have an integrated modem, yours being no exception (I checked). Secondly, the magic of wifi is that you can have the wireless router all the way down in the basement with your modem, and still connect to the internet from your computer upstairs. I'm not quite sure what problem you are having, but all you need to do is buy a PCI WiFi card for your computer (about $50), plug your ADSL modem into your router, and you're good to go.

The reason you may've found my post little confusing is cos of my own misunderstanding about the fact that I'm on DSL Internet, however, I realised afterwards that my Internet connection is "cable" NOT the DSL.

So, what I want now is to have a ADSL connection (however, I wouldn't mind knowing the difference in the way DSL & ADSL Internet works). I'll get the PCI wireless card for my PC. I'm hoping to connect my wireless router with integrated modem in it (I'll need to buy it, since the current one has got NO modem in it) which I'm thinking to just place it BEHIND the sofa connected with my telephone socket, so no one would see it, while I'll be able to use it for BOTH my PC (once I buy the wireless card for it) & my laptop (which's already got the wireless card in it).
