Geek question

So my DSL modem arrived. It only has one USB port. My router only has
ethernet. Both have wireless. What do I do? Can they each run wireless
on different channels. Am I gonna have to play games to get the routes
set or does that happen automagically? Basically, the only way I see to
connect my modem to my hub is wireless. How painful is that?

You buy a new DSL modem. Or

They can run wireless on different channels but you need ethernet to
get into the WAN side of the router. You can only connect to the LAN
side with the wireless which would really defeat the point of a router.

Huh? Maybe you should try a different DSL modem - mine has wifi and a
hard ethernet link. Very convenient, occasionally and I'd think vital in
the hookup you are arranging?
