Assuming you're on Fibre then it's just a matter of configuring it for a PPPoE connection with your PlusNet as described here http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/hardware/broadband-connection-settings.shtml . If you have an ADSL connection then I'm afraid it's not going to work as you need an ADSL modem/router.

I have a similar question with ADSL, would this modem work? http://www.shop.bt.com/products/d-link-adsl2--ethernet-modem-1x10-100-5766.html

@jrilton, You mean to use the DSL-320B as a modem, connected to the n56U ? Yes, that will work but you need to set the 320B into bridged mode , see here http://www.jamesbrice.com/articles/misc-articles/102-d-link-dsl-320b-as-bridge-modem
