Connecting ADSL modem to router

I just bought a router with all ports using Ethernet. Unfortunately I forgot that my ADSL modem use USB to connect to the computer. Now I want to connect the modem to the router such that all computers can access the Internet. Is there an easy way to connect the modem to the router with a cable adapter, or do I have to buy an ADSL modem which use an Ethernet connection?

Opps! You need a usb interface for the router to connect to the adsl. Only ones I know of are in England. Do a web search.

Router with input for USB modems are a bit thin on the ground and those that do exist are a bit on the expensive side. USB to Ethernet converters I have never heard off. Converters the convert a USB female port on a computer to Ethernet yes, but USB male input to Ethernet, No.
I think you will end up buying a modem with Ethernet ports.
