To connect to the Internet using a telephone line rather than broadband, you need a DSL modem or router. If you need to connect multiple computers or laptops, then use a multi-port router.

Instructions
Step 1
Find the right router for your devices. In this case, we are talking about laptops, because some of their models are not able to connect to any Wi-Fi network. Find out the requirements of wireless adapters by studying the instructions for them on the manufacturer's website.
Step 2
Purchase a suitable Wi-Fi router. Naturally, it must have a DSL connector to connect to the provider's server. Connect the telephone line cable to the specified port using a splitter. This device will help not only to simultaneously connect a router and a landline phone to the same cable, but also to reduce interference on the line.
Step 3
Connect a network cable to the Ethernet (LAN) port of the Wi-Fi router. Connect the other end to the network card of your computer or laptop. Turn on the equipment connected to the router.
Step 4
Launch a web browser. Enter the IP address of the router in the url input field. Press the Enter key. After the Wi-Fi router settings menu opens, go to the WAN item. Configure Internet access by setting the required values for some parameters. Because we are talking about a DSL connection, it is recommended to select the PPPoE protocol and enter the values that meet the requirements of your provider.
Step 5
Now go to the Wi-Fi menu. Create a wireless access point. When configuring this menu, be guided by the parameters of your laptops. Save the settings and reboot the Wi-Fi router.
Step 6
After connecting all desktops to Ethernet ports, and laptops to a wireless access point, you will have a complete home mixed network, in which all devices will have access to the Internet. Be sure to make sure that the router automatically connects to the provider's server. This will help avoid problems if this equipment is disconnected from the mains.
