First time posting here at Tom's. First of all, thanks for all of the help you all have given me in the last few years. I have a Netgear DGND3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Modem Router. I would love to use this on my personal home network, but of course I have only an RJ45 output from the modem (arris modem CM820A). Is there a way to use this router on my home network? Thanks in advance!

Ah.
Your Netgear is a ADSL modem+router.
That will almost certainly not work. Your Netgear is supposed to connect to an ADSL service. THe modem portion converts the signal into something the router portion can understand. The router portion then transfers it out to your devices.
I'm not sure you can bypass the modem portion, and just use the router functions. Bypassing all of it and just making a switch will not work for more than one device.
I suggest selling it, and just buying an actual router behing the Arris thing.
So no way of taking a cat 5e cable and converting one end to an RJ11? I got this for super cheap and would love to use it. I have four other netgear routers and a cisco all single channel wireless N on the busy 2.4ghz channel (apartment living).....
