4 pin to 8 pin (phone cable to ethernet cable)

Post by shareef » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:41 pm

I've recently bought a Cisco RV 120W wireless router. The router has a Ethernet port for WAN connection. But the cable end (which was setup by the ISP) has a phone cable with 4 pin plug/jack.

Is there any way I can use the Ethernet WAN port to connect my 4pin phone cable?

The connection type is PPPoE.

You need an Ethernet modem to convert from ADSL to Ethernet! Are you sure you have purchased the right router?

Sounds like this is a technical question that you should ask your ISP about.
