Rod,

Do you know how, or have the instructions, for how to configure the router?  

The ADSL provider will need to know the MAC number of this device, and you'll 
want to probably change others settings (like what it's IP address is or to 
specify it uses DNS, etc. on the ADSL side, and it's IP address on your LAN 
side).  

If configurable, probably can be made to work.
