I'll have to ask around about it. All I know is it sits on the roof and connects to a power-over-ethernet jack inside, and from there to the linksys. It's square.

Still working on contacting the ISP support. There's no DSL here. There is cable but they have dish so that would be a big change, but something for them to think about. AFAIK those are the only two options here in Vernal. Oh, and the terrible dialup service they had before this.
