hello everyone currently iam using bsnl internet which provides internet through telephone wire which is RJ11 and that we have to plug in my asdl router to use internet. but i want to switch to another isp but the problem is that this isp provides internet through RJ45 so can i use my older routher for the new isp which provides internet trough RJ45. i have seen lots of web sites saying that it is possible by disabling the dhcp and connecting to one of the lan ports.
how to use my asus adsl modem cum router only as a router

First of all - what model is your ASUS?
Please clarify: you want to go from this:
-------(RJ11 wire)----------> [ASDL Port]ASDL ASUS Modem/Router[Ethernet port] ----------(ethernet cable)---------> Computer(s)
To this:
-------(ethernet wire)----------> [Ethernet Port] ASDL ASUS Modem/Router[Ethernet Port] ----------(ethernet cable)---------> Computer(s)
But with DHCP disabled in the ASUS.
You still need DHCP to hand out IP addresses to the connected devices. And I do not believe that the ASUS can handle internet coming in on a LAN port versus the intended/expected ASDL port.
Please verify my understanding and correct as necessary. That will help with finding possible solutions or other ways to proceed.
