    Connect fixed line internet to wireless router
    I have a fixed internet line directly coming to my place and plugged into my laptop. I have bought a Linksys WAG 160 N router.
    How can I setup this wireless router to create a wireless network at my place? The fixed line which I have goes directly in the Ethernet ports only and I don’t have any cable that can go into the DSL port of the modem?
    What is the best way to use this router and make a wireless network?
    Are there any converters available to convert this fixed cable so that it can be converted and plugged into the router?

    The fixed line comes from a shared wireless router

    It is a direct cable that goes into my laptop for internet connection

    It sounds like you have the wrong router.
    You need a cable router that doesn't have the modem functionality, just routes the incoming connection.
