Ok... My router at home, it has a RJ11 interface which connects directly to the phone line, providing my interwubz. If i wanted, it could also provide wireless. This 877W on my desk? It provides routing, wireless and internet connectivity from a telephone line.

How exactly does your router connect to your modem? If this modem has an interface address, why is the router involved?
