Syanjali,

Yes, we need to power both these things. ADSL modem and router come in combo, and they are cheaper than buying separately. If you know Verizon DSL, it's the same (At least, I don't know the difference). You use an Ethernet cable (the one we generally call Intenet jack) form that router to connect to the phone.

You will use 2 to 5 watts when both these devices (phone+modem/router) work. Power consumption differs at standby (<1w for phone) and while talking, and also when talking over very loud speakerphone. If you have an inverter enough for lighting your home, 2-5 watts is just nothing.

Something is wrong at my home and inverter used for lighting house does not charge fully during this 12 (you say 14?) hours power cut. My family uses custom built UPS (cheap to build in Nepal) just for Internet and that phone.
