I bought a dsl modem from them and connect my router to it. I put it in bridge mode so the the pppoe runs on the modem and the router connects to the modem the same as your cable connection. Configuring the modem is a bit tricky because the pages use javascript. There are some pages on the net which show you how to do it. Because of the javascript you'll need a browser that supports javascript (mozilla or ie) and possibly some sighted assistance. Verizon also sells a combination modem/router which is a good option if you don't have a router. LOL Chris
