Router + DSL modem

[rushman64]

Can I use a DSL modem as just a router? Can I turn off the modem part and use it as a range extender?

It is a Netgear Rangemax Dual band Wireless N router +DSL modem # DNGND3300

I also have a WNR 2000 router

My internet comes into my home via Clear

So if I disable DHCP, I will turn off the modem part of the router, and then it becomes a wireless N range extender.

That's my understanding.

So how will i connect the other router to the main one? Hard wire? will it be wireless?

Ethernet probably -- wirelessly linking routers only works if both support WDS (see router specs).

Would I be able to use the 3 remaining Ethernet ports for other wired devices
