Converting ADSL connection
Converting ADSL connection
I’m looking for a way to connect your TPlink Archer A7 directly to the TP-Link Archer A7 without going through the stand plusnet router. It would be easier to just use the built-in TP-Link link and avoid running it through the router, which seems simpler. I’m not sure if an adapter will work or impact performance much.
Typically, ADSL works best with RJ11 connections. You might think it’s possible to connect it to RJ45, but I’m not sure if Archer A7 supports any DSL type. Their site only mentions PPPoE, PPTP, and VPN options. What you’re aiming for is swapping a modem for a router, which isn’t feasible.
You’d require a modem that supports ADSL, followed by connecting it to the router. The Plusnet router functions as both a modem and a router, so you must pass through it initially.
If this plusnet gadget functions as an ADSL (such as a phoneline) modem/router, you have no alternative—TPLink lacks both a phone port and modem capabilities. You must swap in a dedicated standalone ADSL modem and then connect it to TPLink once your ISP configures it.
i’m not really into networking, but i tried swapping an rj45 to rj11 and put it through the adsl filter. they just laughed at me, saying it wouldn’t work. anyway, i figured it was better to keep both setups and organize them neatly.
