Lite updater fails to see connection

[MS]

It was not earlier until I have dismounted the router from a particularly quirky location that I realized my laptop does not have a broadband socket, which is actually weird. There is a telephone cable type socket and I tried some dilapidated telephone cable to use for connection with the router but it did not work. Hard to tell, dunno, but when it comes to my estimation, it could be that something is blocking these updaters.
