   Hello Ed Vance!   
      
    EV> My router used to have a DSL Modem on its WAN output. I   
    EV> wish to use a cat5 Bluetooth device in its place to let   
    EV> the router use data that is on the phone even tho I know   
    EV> there will be an upcharge for my doing that .   
      
   So.. your only source of internet right now is at the     
   cellphone?   
      
   If so, I don't think there is an cat5 adaptor for the phone to     
   feed ethernet to your devices.  Usually the only possibility     
   with eth/cat5 adaptors that connect to smartphones is when you     
   want to provide internet TO the phone.   
      
   Your easiest solution (as has been mentioned before) is to     
   simply get a wifi dongle for your pc, and enable mobile hotspot     
   on your phone.
