Okay, then, I recently moved to the Internet and a internet TV (100 Mb). The router they provide is simply worse at unimaginable levels (still working on standard N rather than AC).

So I bought a new Router D-LINK DIR-815 / AC1200.

I tried to connect and set it up and then I noticed that the old Router connections were like this:

Ethernet connection LAN1 connecs to WAN in the modem

Ethernet connection from ZingWell (a white box type that connects to an electrical outlet and actually exits the network cable) - LAN 4

RJ11 connection on the other side connects to the wall BT BTUG socket of phones - Connect to a DSL connection.

The problem with the new router is that I do not have a DSL connection (RJ11), is there a solution or have I thrown money on a new router?

If this will be useful, then this is the connection of the modem:

A RJ11 cable with BT PLUG on the wall is connected to the telephone jack

An Ethernet cable is connected to the wan socket and on the other side is connected to the old router to the LAN1 socket

And in their modem there is another rj11 socket with a caption phone has a possibility to play with it somehow?

 
Solution
You bought the wrong type of router - - the D-LINK DIR-815 is designed for connecting to a cable or DSL modem, hence it has no DSL input. It's just a router (ie it doesn't have a built-in DSL modem for connecting to incoming ADSL phone line).

Says clearly in the user manual that it requires • An Ethernet-based Cable or DSL modem

What you should have bought instead was a combined ADSL router/modem if your intention was to replace the existing one provided by your ISP.

Solution
If main concern is the 802.11n vs 802.11ac just disable the radios in the ISP router and use your new router as AP only. That way you can avoid the issue of having to buy a new DSL modem/router

I am somewhat surprised they offer 100mbps on a dsl was only a few years ago that many dsl connections were 768kbps
