You’re facing a common setup issue. The router only supports WLAN, but you have an ADSL connection coming from the ISP. You likely won’t need an adapter unless you want to use both connections together. To enable WLAN, check if your router has built-in dual-band support or consider using a Wi-Fi extender. If the white box is outdated, it may not handle modern standards, so upgrading or replacing it might be necessary.
Apologies for the delay, I captured some photos. The ISP Router model is “Technicolor tg789vac v2.”
I don't believe you can skip the ISP router since it also functions as a DSL modem. It shouldn't slow things down as I did with DSL before. You may need to switch the ISP router into bridged mode. Check the manual to see if this is possible; you might need to request the ISP to handle it.
Current DSL modems are rare, so opt for a router that includes one. Also, confirm your internet service provider supports user-owned devices.
While scanning the manual, I couldn't locate anything mentioning "bridging" or "bridged mode." Upon checking another section, there doesn't appear to be any reference to "tools." Regarding your questions: changing DNS to Cloudflare on the new router might redirect traffic through the ISP's DNS, effectively disabling its own settings. As for IPv6, it doesn't function properly on the ISP router and requires manual configuration, which only has a single toggle option.
You're questioning whether it's feasible with a locked-down firmware on an ISP router. While you have a modified version, your concerns about security and connectivity are valid. The situation could be risky if the hacked firmware isn't stable or reliable. Updated July 26, 2022 by Dziugas1959. Additional info
