I even bought an rj11 to rj45 adsl cable to connect to router directly to my line, because I do not have a separated modem anyway, but no matter what I do the internet light keeps blinking in red on the router indicating that the connection cannot be established. I tried changing the settings of the new router, but that doesn't help either. Does anyone has any suggestions on what should I do?</SPAN></P> Wed, 06 Jan 2021 17:09:42 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Can-t-connect-my-new-router-to-the-BT-Broadband-to-use-as-my/m-p/2128343#M1228165 dannkis 2021-01-06T17:09:42Z Re: Can't connect my new router to the BT Broadband to use as my main router https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Can-t-connect-my-new-router-to-the-BT-Broadband-to-use-as-my/m-p/2128345#M1228166 <P>You have bought a router when you should have bought a VDSL Modem router. Without a modem your router will not work.</P> Wed, 06 Jan 2021 17:13:25 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Can-t-connect-my-new-router-to-the-BT-Broadband-to-use-as-my/m-p/2128345#M1228166 gg30340 2021-01-06T17:13:25Z Re: Can't connect my new router to the BT Broadband to use as my main router https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Can-t-connect-my-new-router-to-the-BT-Broadband-to-use-as-my/m-p/2128347#M1228167 Can I just simply buy a VDSL modem and connect the router to it instead?
