Router and Bell Canada ADSL..help!!

Hi, What router should I choose for ADSL access from Bell Canada? I believe they use PPPoE and Glite ADSL. I'm opened to Cisco suggestions too. Cable from videotron might be an option for internet access too.
If the Router support ADSL, it means u don't need the ADSL modem? so u just plug the phone jack in the router? What if the router ADSL mdeom is not compatible with the ISP ADSL?
Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
 
If they are using PPPoe, that mean you got Dynamic IP.
Then if you want to share DSL w/ dynamic IP, you really don't need router.
You just need a hub.

And I believe you still need DSL modem regardless what router you got.


Phoneline -> DSL modem -> hub's uplink port -> nic of your PC
 
Thx for the reply timekeeper. Can the router be configured to dialin etc just like any OS in case the router is still an option?
 
TimeKeeper:

Are you sure? Your configuration only works if Dark has enough IPs for every PC he has... if he has 3 PCs connecting to the hub, and they all wanna be online all the time, he would need 3 IPs... And this does not depend on whether he gets a dynamic IP or static IP...

But you still need a ADSL modem even if you get a router... it will go:
Phoneline -> ADSL modem -> router -> all your PCs
 
The cisco 675 offers an included ADSL modem so the scheme would be Phoneline->Router->LAN. But i'm wondering if that would work with bell adsl...What about the Netgear? Would the scheme Phoneline->ADSL Modem->Router->LAn work?
