Ethernet to DSL

[ajaxus]

Hello,

I have an internet service that has an Ethernet cable input - not DSL.
However, I only have a DSL Modem + Router.

Since my modem + router accepts only a DSL input, what can I do to convert my Ethernet cable to provide a DSL input for the modem + router i.e. short of buying a different modem and / or router?

do you mean you have a RJ45 wall outlet?

you can plug a telephone cord into an RJ45.

is the DSL line coming into the house connected to that RJ45?

No wall outlet. Lets just say that the setup is a bit weird here. I have an Ethernet cable that comes into the house. So there's this cable and then there's a DSL modem + router (than has an input DSL port) and I don't think I could modify the modem firmware in any way to configure inputs through the lan outlets on the modem.

Currently the Ethernet cable connects to a customized modem provided by the service provider that has ethernet inputs and outputs and then this goes into a separate router.
Am trying to see if I can ditch this 2-piece installation and just try this with a DSL modem+router instead.

you need to find out if the DSLmodem+router you have is supported by your by your ISP since not every modem will work with every ISP.

why do want to replace the current setup?

The ISP's modem blew up and I'm tired of waiting for them to show up with a new one
