Hate to disappoint you but the DSL socket on a DSL-AC68U is an RJ11 not an RJ45 so an ethernet cable won’t fit.
If you’ve run out of LAN ports on the router just use a gigabit switch https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-SG1005D-5-Ports-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00ZOOJXEG/ref=sr_1_1/259-2947446-7044839?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1549544771&sr=1-1&refinements=p_4%3ATP-LINK
You’ll lose one port with the connection between the router and the switch but gain 4 or 7 more.
BTW not an endorsement of TP-Link kit, but it’s cheap and works.
