Yes, Eric - that is exactly how you described it.
The connection is okay now - only had to take out 'Sympatico' in the service

But, what I am wondering is my download times are slow! Almost reminds me of
dial-up at times.
I have tried using just the DSL modem, no router, and downloads are normal.
Do I need to configure the router?
