# What Do I Need to Install ADSL:

An ADSL Modem or Router

Most ISPs will supply you with a modem or router either free of charge or at additional cost. A number of online retailers are also competing to sell you their products. Connection equipment can be broken down into 3 basic categories:

Ethernet/Wireless Router
A standalone device which maintains the connection to the Internet for you. Most routers have an Ethernet connection to your local area network and act as a gateway, DNS, DHCP and firewall service. Computer enthusiasts or businesses can use a router to connect multiple computers to the Internet without the need for connection sharing software such as Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

A Micro-Filter for each Phone Socket

A micro-filter is designed to plug into your phone socket (similar to a standard splitter used to connect multiple telephones). Its purpose is to separate voice from data and must be connected to each phone socket in your house. If you do not have a telephone, or any device which uses the phone line, a micro-filter isn't required. Most ISPs and retailers sell micro filters.
