Only a PC does not suffice.

Three machines are needed:

 1) The original adls router, or an equivalent one, acting in
pass-through mode, like a "modem" from ADSL to ethernet. Alternatively,
I have to buy a card that knows ADSL for the computer.
 2) A computer, with at least 2 ethernet ports (routing internet WAN to
LAN), and wireless card with good antennas.
 3) A switch.

That's a lot for a home system.

It would be cheaper to flash the router instead. There are good and open
firmwares around.

In fact, that router is not my ISP router. I bought one to replace theirs.

I know. But surely I'm not the first one to hit this kind of problem,
and people may know. And in fact, I have got the ideas here that guided
me to solve the issue, because as I said already, it is solved. Or so it
seems. I said that some posts back already.

/That/ one is the new router, actually. :-)
