Hi, I am trying to set up a wifi router for a freind. The modem only has 1 cable out which is usb. The router does not have a usb in slot. How can I connect these.
Cheers Dave

nigh on impossible! unless the modem has an Ethernet Port your hiding away from me(such as SmartAX mt882). then you can use an ethernet router (such as Linksys wrt54gs) -
--Which i presume you are, as otherwise you could just connect your RJ11 (adsl cable) to the wireless router and configure .

- The only way to get a USB modem wireless is to use an Ethernet wireless modem connected to a PC, with the USB Modem, and Internet Connection Sharing, or a Network Bridge.
