Right. So must make sure that there is a WAN port? I assume that iBurst modem is connected to the router. Given that it connects to the PC using ethernet what is the reason the same cannot happen for the router?

Jongi, there is a difference between a WAN port and a ADSL port... The difference is that you will need to connect ur ADSL modem to the WAN port and then do the whole PPPoE auth on the router itself. otherwise doesnt make much sense in running the router in the first place. The routers mostly have a special port for connecting the modem, not just an ordinary ethernet port.
