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.
