My DSL provider gave me an Alcatel modem that connects via USB. I'm looking for a router to connect several computers, but they all seem to connect to the modem via RJ45 instead.

Are there any solutions I should try, like:

USB to RJ45 adapter (probably won't work - no power)
A manufacturer that builds a USB router.
Buy a new ADSL modem.

have your provider change out the usb modem with a ethernet connection. you then can purchase a linksys router and connect your pc's to it and run the dsl. PPPOE dynamic Jeter@LasVegas.com
