Using a Cisco 827 router with my DSL

[eliyzfr600]

Hello everyone,
(Setting up a test network) Im wondering if I could use a cisco router 827/827V-4 with my home DSL? The router has 3 ports (console, ethernet, adsl) the problem is that the adsl port is an RJ11 and the port coming out of my modem is an RJ45. Could I just bypass my modem and connect from the wall jack to the back of the router? What would be the next step? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you have a DSL service on your phoneline then you can use your Cisco 827-4V on it, as you could use ANY DSL router on it. All ADSL routers have a RJ11 socket for connecting to the DSL service, depending on the country you are in you may have a different socket to connect to. You will probably need a Splitter that connects directly to your telephone line and provides a socket to connect a phone and an RJ11 socket to connect your DSL router.

Thank you Andy for the response,
However Im still a little confuse, I have pluged in the router to the wall jack. What would be the next step in setting it up to connect to the internet, would I need special software? My ISP dinamic. What commands would I need to enter at the console for it to connect to my ISP? Thanks again

If you haven't configured Cisco routers before then you are a bit in the deep end here.....

Cisco have a GUI for initial configuration (SDM) but it probably isn't installed on the 827 (limited flash) so you will have to give the CLI a go and use Hyperterminal.

Example confiruration on CCO here:
