No, Your router doesnt have a ADSL Modem built in.

Indeed your modem from Wanadoo will be a USB modem. You will find that this wont connect to your router as your router has a WAN port for connecting an ethernet ADSL modem to it.

USB Modems (like the one you have) are designed to connect directly to your PC.

You probably would need a DSL-G604T to complete the setup.

See this link for how to connect up your kit.

I signed up with Wanadoo last October and I bought a Wireless Router with built in ADSL modem. The Wanadoo modem sits in the cupboard in case of emergencies.
