Wait... so I need a modem in addition to my Asus RT-N13U router to run my MTNL broadband?

Santa Maria!

I applied for a MTNL connection and got the land line installed and when the broadband guy came he says I need a modem thing as well (But he said he wasn't sure and repeatedly kept asking me to open Internet Explorer and Control Panel on my Linux machine).

I suppose this is massive noobishness on my part.
So to clarify, I need a modem into which the phone line goes, and the RJ45 cable that came with the Asus router connects the router with the modem... am I correct? Or can the Asus router do the job alone (confused since my phone line seems to fit cleanly into the Asus router)?
If I need to get a modem, any recommendations?

Well, if there is nothing wrong with my realization described above, I'm gonna go get a TP Link TD-8816 this evening.
You have till 7PM to try and stop me. Muahahahaha! etc etc.
