Yes you can use your wifi router with your dsl.

In reality though your adsl router is likely not a router, but just a modem.
If the device only has one Ethernet port on it then it is just a modem

DSL/Cable/Fiber modem = a device that converts the medium (cable) and the protocol used by your ISP into etherent
Router= a device that takes one connection and provides the addressing and logic to allow multiple devices to use that one connection from your ISP.

adsl modem or router (whichever it is) - > wireless router -> PC (Via wired Ethernet)

If the modem is in fact a modem and not a router then you will need to know your id and password and setup a PPPoE login on the wireless router.

Phoneline to adsl router, Ethernet from adsl router to wireless router WAN port, Ethernet from wifi router LAN port to PC.

You will need to configure your adsl router to be in bridge mode (connect adsl router direct to PC for configuration)
Then you will need to get the PPPoE login information from your ISP in order to setup the WiFi router to be allowed onto your connecton

Here is a writeup on how to set the adsl router to function as a modem only (and then the wifi router will handle all routing functions.

Before you do this you will need that PPPoE connection settings as you will then no longer have internet without applying the PPPoE settings to your wifi router.
The instructions are with the d-link connected directly to the PC.
Go through step 10 of part A. The instructions are for BSNL dsl service so the VPI and VCI in steps 6 and 7 may be different for your ISP.

Before doing the steps you may also want to google instructions on how to setup PPPoE on your WiFi router.
