Well basicly, can someone please tell me what ADSL is? I have BT Broadband. The Wireless Router i'm getting to play Live says:

"Please note : This router doesn't have a built-in ADSL modem. You would need an external Ethernet ADSL modem for this router to work on ADSL in the UK."


I've had BT Broadband for a good while now, and never read or seen anything about it saying it's ADSL


Thank you :-)

That's canceled now. Well, she said she put it on hold and I gotta send Customer Services an e-mail asking them to cancel my order. Then my account gets refunded

You'll also need a couple of ethernet cables. One connecting to your PC and the other for the Xbox.

Take your pick from the lengths you'll need. Keywords are RJ45 and Patch.

BT will probably overcharge you for inferior goods.

I suggest you get a refund on that router and use the same website for a Netgear DG834G - thiss will connect anything and everything, even wireless.

Then get a Netgear WGE101 Wireless Bridge and connect your Xbox to it. This is 802.11G speed, which is much faster and more reliable than 802.11B.

These two products are all you need.

There's your problem. Unless your BT USB modem can also connect via Ethernet, you have a problem.
