Router problems

Just received my shiny new Asus RT-N66U in the post, only to realise it needs an rj45 cable and I'm using adsl broadband and therefore have an rj11 dsl wire coming out of the wall

Needless to say I'm disappointed and quite angry, is there anything I can do?!

Pretty ****ed, don't want to return it as my ISP promises fibre optic is coming very, very soon

I could use my old one which was ISP provided but will I even see any benefit from the Asus router using this method?

I've just boxed it back up and slung it in the cupboard waiting for fibre, shame

Not worth the hassle of rma and buying a new one later

And also I don't want to routers and more cables messing up a corner of the kitchen so I'll stick with my Belkin until fibre is available

I know I know, rookie mistake.

I was too distracted by claims of super internet speed and 5ghz jiggerwhatzits

Exactly. Just leaving it to collect dust for (hopefully) not too long
