In short, it depends:

If you are trying to connect two modems to one DSL connection at the same time, the answer is no. Each modem must have its own physical connection to the DSLAM at the central office to have simultaneous connectivity.

If you have two DSL modems each with its own DSL connection, then they can both be connected at the same time. The trick then becomes translating both connections into one network. If you use two different connections (internet access for computers and separate access for your XBox, for example) then you'll be fine. Otherwise, you will need a more sophisticated firewall than most home brands--one that will handle two IP addressing schemes simultaneously.

How do you use a router with a dsl modem bc The router instructions say to plug the Ethernet cable into the computer and To do that you have to unplug the DSL modem's Ethernet cable from the computer?

Yes you take the internet access from the modem to the computer and move it to the router so the router can allow more access than just to the computer. In the back of the router there are spots for ethernet cables only one is a input and that comes from the modem and should be connected. There should also be 4 or more outputs and one then gets connected to the computer. You will need to buy more ethernet cables. Internet comes from your DSL modem and you need to disconnect your computer to allow the router to be installed. Your computer and anything else is then connected to the router
