I have ordered a wireless router for a friend without realising she has a modem which is only using a USB connection and so a LAN cable cannot be connected. Is it possible to link the router to the PC which has the internet connection and if so how?

Thanks

I think thats the wrong router anyway for an ADSL connection, it would have been better to get one with the ADSL modem inside, they are not very expensive.
