First off, as your thread title states - ISP.  

  Do you have one? You can't just buy a modem and plug it in and it will work. You must pay monthly for your internet service.


 

 of course I do. Anyway, as I said it's not important now. I still can't get the fucking modem to work, so I'll stick with the router. it's not ideal.  

 Thanks for trying to help :)


I don't think you know what you're talking about, honestly.


no, I don't.

You don't use PPP or need drivers for your modem if you're using a broadband connection.

Unless you're using USB, which is retardo.


well that is what I'm using. so there. but I've done that bit now.
