Saying that routers are a bit more easy to locate
You only need a WAN card if you are trying to replace the ADSL modem. If you just need a router, then any old PC with standard NICs will work. The modem converts between the ADSL link via telephone cabe and standard ethernet.

If the ISP doesn't give you a modem with the ADSL link, I'd start looking for another ISP.
