To set up a wireless DSL network while keeping the landline working, Jasmine will need the following devices and cables:

1. DSL modem: This device connects to the DSL line and converts the incoming signal into a form usable by the network. It typically has a phone line port for the landline connection and Ethernet ports for network connectivity.

2. Wireless router: This device creates a wireless network in the home, allowing devices to connect to the internet wirelessly. It connects to the DSL modem via an Ethernet cable.

3. Ethernet cables: Jasmine will need Ethernet cables to connect the DSL modem to the wireless router and to connect the wireless router to her computer or other devices. The length of the cables will depend on the distance between the devices.

4. Phone cable: This is the standard phone cable that connects the DSL modem to the landline phone jack.

5. Power cables: Each device will require a power cable to be plugged into a power outlet.

Here is a summary of the connections:

1. Connect one end of the phone cable to the DSL modem's phone line port and the other end to the landline phone jack.

2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the DSL modem's Ethernet port and the other end to the wireless router's WAN (or Internet) port.

3. Connect one end of another Ethernet cable to one of the wireless router's LAN ports and the other end to Jasmine's computer or any other devices she wants to connect through a wired connection.

4. Power on both the DSL modem and the wireless router by plugging in their respective power cables.

Once all the connections are made, Jasmine should be able to access the internet wirelessly through the wireless router while keeping her landline working through the DSL modem.
