Bought A Router On Ebay.....:(

Hi, Ive bought a cheap router on ebay, hopeing i would be able to use it with my adsl line so i cud use my other pc and ps2 without having my other pc on. I bought The Cicso 765 M Router....But I later learned it was idsn router and only had one port, I looked up a guide and found out i could add more ports with a hub, so thats one problem sorted. Going back to the idsn problem, Ive tryed plugging it into the back of my pc...even tho i know it wont work if the one pc is off. But theres no way to plug it into my usb modem, or straight into the line! I didnt want to spend much but looks like i have to now...I really need help please Reply Thanks
 
First put it back on ebay and sell it for what ever you can. I hope you don't lose much on it. Then only look at those that are listed as ADSL router or ADSL/Cable these will plug into your modem. Actiontec routers have a usb port aswell as ethernet. If you see a router you think will do before you bid send a message to the seller asking if you can connect a USB modem to it, this is always the safest way then you dont end up with one you can't use.

Edited to add or you could buy one like this ADSL modem plus router for £23.44

I looked on eBay for a modem/router and the choices baffled me.
So I went to PCWORLD online and bought one off them.
If you order online you get it even cheaper and you still get the chance to collect it as well.

Wether its a good choice or not, I bought the Netgear DG632 modem/router for £39.99
If its no good and I want to upgrade, I haven't lost to much on it.

Rare
 
Netgear are a good choice and I would recomend only reliable companies Microdirect is close to me and I know they are a good company hence the link to their website.
