WRONG type. NEVr use more than one router on a connection. It WILL slow the connection. You need to buy a proper Adsl router to connect directly to your phone line service. That replaces the existing router. and it is unlikely the diffeent router is going to help, it has masses of performance but your old one os still MUCH faster than any Internet connection. It ids not a bad ide to ask if something will work BEFORE you buy it.
