  • My internet provider is Triangle Communications (Montana) they provide a router by ZyXEL. I
    want to use my old router Netgear N600. The problem is that they only connection to the ZyXEL is by phone line J11 I believe, the Netgear only connects with J45cable. What is needed to do this if it is possible at all?

You need to setup your original router to be a pass-through, contact your service provider on how to do that. Looks like you have DSL and a gateway which is a combination modem and router. You need to make that device work as only a modem so you can connect your router to it.
