Hi,
I am getting a Linksys EA6350 router and I would like to use it for the 5Ghz and QoS features. I would like EA6350 to be my main and only router on my home network.
How can I do this?

Why would you want to do this? You will need a modem of some sort to put on the front end. There are much better ways of adding 5GHz capability such as getting a combined modem/router.

HI iKarampa,
You need to use the 2704n or another device as an ADSL modem.
The Linksys device does not contain an ADSL modem.
There are some instructions in the following post to convert the 2704n into a "modem only" device:

Hi,
My area will be upgraded to fiber this year.
Can you recommend an decent modem+rooter combo?
Regards
