hate to tell you, they're both RJ45 ports, note how the RJ11 is too small for the plug hole... I bet you a network cable will fit into that "RJ11" plug
 
All these people have great "expectations" for these WRT54GL i had a guy determined he could use one to connect to iburst...Guys these are great machines!! but dont perform miracles!!

LOL - presumably without an iBurst UTD connected to the WRT54GL via ethernet...

Anyways we are all here to help those in need of help without being critical :).
 
Guys! the rj11 fits perfectly!!! I swear! the metal pins touch perfectly!

If it ddnt fit then it wouldnt have any effect right...? But wen I plug it in my whole pc freezes!!! because it fits but the router cannot translate analog signals!

hav another closer look! it does fit!

I dont beleive you... the RJ11's pins might line up (with any of the ports on the back of the router, or any switch / Lan card etc.)

but your statement about it hanging your PC when you plug it in is utter tripe... what you do with a router connected to your PC via LAN will have absolutely 0 effect on your PC.

Your nick name suits you, there is NO RJ11 on your router, get over it and go buy a modem.

Dnt t8k ur anger out on me caus it's my dad's stupid IT guys that said this obsurd statement!!

You could have easly figured this out by googling and reading reviews.

This is true, but headstrong asked all of us for help bcos collectively as a broadband community we have the knowledge to help one another out.

At least headstrong knows that we know what we're talking about - even though headstrong doubted what we were telling him.
