Question

ADSL

by Oct 28, 2015 3:35AM PDT

Is there any particular device(D), which can be plugged to an electrical outlet(E), and then serve as a adsl modem and wifi router(AW)?
Sequence:
1. E--->D(with adsl line connected)-->Transmits signals to wifi ready PC/LTP.

Most of the devices, I found on the internet, sits on the desk and has a power connection+ADSL cable+Ethernet/USB+/-wifi.
I want to jack in the D and then connect the wires, and get wifi on 2-3 computers.
This is what I have right now:

This sounds like the common ADSL and WiFi router combo's that ISPs supply all over the world. Your ISP usual has these. If not I'd ask another.

Your questions use too many acronyms and I may have missed what you are asking. For example the common ADSL router needs power and the phone line. Your question sounded as if you wanted ADSL without the ADSL connection with power only.

Rewritning the Question

I would like to get a ADSL modem/wifi router which plugs into an electrical outlet directly. I will jack in the adsl cable to the device or may be there is a wireless adapter that connects to the ADSL splitter!! Silly

Then my answer is no.

While I've seen units that use a power cord, all required a phone cord for the ADSL. I've only been around networking for a few decades so maybe I missed this odd device you are looking for.

OK, now I would like a device that can act as a modem plus wifi hotspot for EVDO+ADSL+LTE/4G. Its OK if it sits on the desk like an adsl router. The first 2 communication types will do for now. By the way, just to update, I have got an adsl modem router from flipkart to tide by this difficult times! Devil . Also ordering evdo unlocked data card for now. Phew.
