Can I use my LAN cable without a router?
I got my DSL line connected today, so I theoretically have internet, but my router is still stuck in the mail. Can I just plug my LAN cable into it and connect it to my PC and use it that way?

Hello, We recently installed fiber optics, but now we're having trouble with the router currently only working in the basement, as we don't have a LAN connection on the ground floor. However, we would of course like to have our router somewhere on the ground floor. What can we do if we have tiled floors…
Hello, I have a Fritz!Box 7530AX, which provides Wi-Fi throughout my house. After logging in via my laptop or smartphone, I can track incoming and outgoing landline calls on the box. However, I'd like to be able to track calls I've made using my smartphone over Wi-Fi as well, but I can't find these calls…
Hello. I've been interested in this topic for a long time. When a video is uploaded to YouTube, it is ultimately checked for copyright, etc. Now I'm wondering, though, whether the verification process is automatic or whether there are actually employees there? Sorry for the rather stupid question.
good Morning I'm moving soon. It's a new building, and my question is (Telekom said it's supposedly possible) I live in house number 55A, just 3 meters away. The provider's system shows 55, but not 55A. Up to 100 Mbps is available at 55, but apparently nothing at 55A. Now the question is, can I…
Hello, I have a question: When I switch Amazon Prime to full screen on my PC, my mouse pointer always appears in the image and doesn't disappear. Does anyone know why? The mouse pointer is visible to the right of my shoulder. I can move it anywhere in the image, but it always stays in…
No, you need a modem.
This translates the telephone line signals into digital data that the PC can then use directly (e.g. in a USB modem) or via network (modem with LAN connection).
In order to be able to use more than one PC, you need a router which, in a simplified manner, distributes the internet connection to several PCs.
A so-called “DSL router” then also has the necessary DSL modem installed. There are also WAN routers that do not have a modem and you have to connect one or hang on a DSL router.
No, I can’t. DSL and Ethernet use the same plug shape but the cables are different and the electrical protocol is also another. The router converts the DSL signals into Ethernet or WLAN. It is a bit misleading through the RJ45 plug
There is an exception: for a glass fiber cable “can” function. (Yes, really, I tried it. Tricky, but possible) But without routers, your computer is naked and unprotected on the Internet. This is not very desirable either.
Better wait for the router!
Right, because a glass fiber cable is nothing but a “Fancy LAN cable”.
Whether you’re going to a modem via PPPoe, it’s the same for the PC.
Just as if you had a modem connected. The PC then needs its own firewall. And the PC can also “play” routers. So you did this before there were cost-effective routers, so up to the initial time of DSL.
Nowadays you have a router with built-in modem as a standard. A pure modem is even more expensive because rarely needed (only makes sense in the server area).
The router is only a multi-function bug that is disguised as decoration, which records everything that happens in the apartment. Must be known;-)
Of course it’s not. All right. Once the router is there and the DSL is unlocked, you can start. Or you’ll ask the neighbor if you can use his Wi-Fi as long as you can.
Thanks for the answer, but the sarcasm is a bit inappropriate. I don’t know why I’m here. If everyone knew everything, this site would be pretty useless.
There is something “healthy human understanding” or “General education”.
Someone can’t think 2cm far, there’s sarcasm already attached.
No, it’s not possible.
You can plug in the cable, but it doesn’t work.
Theoretically yes, Practically no
Why practically no?😅
otherwise your router does not need, the router is overhauled with us, because the Fritz-box has kept in motion
Try it, you can’t break it. Many years ago, I used to…
It was with you? Many have answered no, was there anything else with you? Or do you know why it worked?
I’ve always wondered
No.
that’s how it’s switched!
