i'm not sure what internet i am on my parents own the contract they are useless when it comes to this sort of thing all i know is i am on BT wireless and download at 2mb/s, my internet should still be ethernet cable compatible right?
seekified when i disconnect all of my devices lose internet to the router, e.g. my computer wont allow me to access the router control panel and my phone will get disconnected too, if i go downstairs to check my router all the lights will be off such as DSL wireless etc.
thanks

My parents said to me that they will ring BT up in a couple of days and get the information from them which i will then post here 
as for checking the router which i currently have, i am currently using a custom one which i bought which is netgear instead of the old BT one, the reason for this is because last time i had a BT router it blew up for some odd reason when we plugged it in, we called BT and they said they were going to charge us for a new one so we just bought one from the net as we had previous problems with BT routers in the past when i was gaming i'd get really bad lag spikes, but with the net gear router it has been fine for the past few years so i am happy with that, but the last few weeks it has been disconnecting so maybe its starting to die?
