This router will support any internet connection coming into it from a modem. The modem is the device that gets the signal from the wall, in your case from an RJ-11 phone line, possibly with a DSL filter, which plugs into the modem. The modem will then (or should) have another port, the RJ-45 ethernet jack that you can then run a Cat 5/5e/6 cable from into this router on the "Internet" or WAN port.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the WRT1900ACS is designed for what are known as "broadband connections". These are usually provided by cable companies such as Comcast or Charter Spectrum. DSL is different and is often provided through standard telephone lines. DSL routers are almost always combined with a DSL modem, so if Century Link wants to rent you one, you're better off buying your own. Now for the hardware: router/modem units can be fairly inexpensive, such as the Actiontech N-300 which Best Buy sells for $69.99. I'm not familiar with this unit and would be skeptical about its' wi-fi performance until I could find some reviews on it. I can, however, recommend 2 models from Netgear as I've used similar models of these. First is the D6400-NAS ($199.99) which has stationary internal antennas, but for that kind of money I'd go for the Nighthawk AC1900 Model D7000-100NAS ($249.99) with it's 3 adjustable antennas and top-flight features. I would caution you, though, that if you buy a Netgear be sure to upgrade the firmware, as some major security vulnerabilities in several model's firmware have recently come to light. Hope this helps.
