Do I have to have my BT DSL Modem AND my belkin wireless router connected to my computer?

If your Belkin Router is a combined ADSL Modem and Router, you don’t need to use yout BT modem. Indeed you can only have one ADSL modem connected to the phone line at a time. Your new Belkin router & ADSL modem replaces your existing BT ADSL modem. You should connect a pc to the LAN socket on the router (using an ethernet RJ45 cable) to set up your router. You will connect the phone line, via the adsl filter to the line (smaller) socket on the router/ADSL modem. You will need the settings that BT gave you to setup the internet side (WAN) side of the combined router/modem. There will be a setup disc with the router – use this to configure and set up the router/ADSL modem.
