If I understand correctly, there's a single ADSL modem (and quite
likely it's a modem/router combo) in the basement, so the cable coming
into your flat is a standard Ethernet connection. If so, reset the
router to factory defaults (known working state), verify that the
Internet connection type is Automatic-DHCP, and you should be able to
connect, wired and/or wireless.
Instead, if there are multiple ADSL modems in the basement, one for
each flat, then set the Internet connection type in the router to PPOE
and enter your username and password.
Either way, that should be about it - the Internet connection should
work at that point, but it won't be secure or unique. Change the SSID,
enable wireless security (WEP is broken, use a flavor of WPA if all of
your equipment supports it), and change the router's password.
