Bt telephone adapter

[CatXice]

Can you get adapters from bt telephone ports to standard rj45 so i cant throw out my isp's router and use my own currently i have it so there is a cat 6e running betweeen the 2 ie internet into the house then to the isp's router (wifi disabled) cat 6e to my ap 

 

I hope this makes sense

Unless you buy a DSL compatible router, which plenty exist, then no. You can go RJ11 to RJ45 and back to RJ11 but you can't just convert RJ11 to RJ45 and have it work on a normal ethernet port.

That's not Ethernet on the telephone side, so the ISP router is acting as your modem.

 

You would still need a DSL modem on the phone side (either standalone or built into your router) in order for your Internet connection to work.

ye can i get a small modem to put inline as such so i dont have to have 2 AP's next to each other on the shelf just want to replace the ISP' router for something smaller but i cant seem to find one but then i am not the best with networking so i maybe looking for the wrong thing/ in the wrong place

You cannot sadly, you can however disable wireless on a router and just make it act as a wired router/modem basically

As mentioned, you'd need to buy a router with a built-in DSL modem and that can get interesting as different modems may perform better or worse than your ISP provided one.  ASUS in particular make good routers, but awful DSL routers.  Technical users often deliberately have two boxes, one just for the DSL side and one plain ethernet router, to get the best of both worlds - the opposite of what you want.

Are you in an area that can get FTTP?  That way the box converting to ethernet is really small (if its an Openreach FTTP service, other networks often have much bigger units), mounted to the wall and you'll get much more consistent speeds.  Although some DSL routers that support bridge mode can also mount to the wall near the phone socket, allowing you to run ethernet to your own router, but they're not exactly small.
