Ummm, Under the router which is plugged into the phone line:
"ADSL2+ WiFi Modem Router" (without the hyphen!)
Under my other router "Wireless router" and yes, it has no modem
capability (as the name implies!)
So IOW, if you are purchasing a router which you also wish to use as a
modem then it better be written on the box!, cause the store owners
won't take too kindly in ripping off the shrink wrap to examine the
contents.
