I have a cable broadband connection from ISP (coaxial), and a ADSL modem/router (RJ45). Do adaptors/connectors exist to join them together so I can use ISP(ewire)?
Thanks

You can get coax to RJ45 adaptors but I would have thought you needed a cable modem, rather than an ADSL one which won't work.

Thanks s.r71 I'm moving into a house with ewire fitted, but I have recently bought a Belkin modem/router with ADSL with RJ45 ethernet cable for iinet connection. Guess I was hoping i didn't have go out and buy it all over again.

No - the two care not electrically [and signal-wise] compatible. You will need a cable modem. The RJ45-Coax adapater is for a different use.

p.s. The ADSL Model is a RJ11 not a RJ45 connection [it's a standard 2/4 wire PSTN circuit].

:confused :lol. I'm reading what it says on the box: package includes RJ45 ethernet networking cable & RJ11 phone line card. oh I think I see it now, it also says system requirments: active ADSL connection with RJ11..
so I need another wireless router then.

What's the model number?

You may be able to use the router part of the adsl modem/router with the cable modem and not need to buy a new one

RJ45 ethernet networking cable is used here for connection from modem to pc
