For my broadband I am currently ADSL and I have a ADSL
Modem/Firewall/Router but if I go to Cable in the future and I then get
a Cable Modem is there any way I can still use my ADSL
Modem/Firewall/Router as a Router?

I was thinking of some converter from my Cable Modem to my ADSL Modem.

Regards

Billy

No (in 99% of the known universe, there may be exceptions, but they are unlikely).

You can probably still use it as a hub and/or wireless access point (if it does
that sort of thing). I have a D-Link access point/ADSL modem/router/4-port-hub
device with a futzed-up ADSL modem, but it still acts as a hub and access point.

Sell your old ADSL router on eBay and buy a cable router,much easier.
