[Bardulf]

Hi,
I want connect my wired DSL modem to my Wireless DSL router, As you may know there isn’t wan port in DSL wireless modem it have only LAN port, Can I route my LAN connection to WAN?

Yes, the "LAN" port on the modem would connect to the WAN port on the router.

Yes, the "LAN" port on the modem would connect to the WAN port on the router.

But as you can see I don't have WAN port on router I have rj11 for DSL, is it possible to use LAN port as WANport on router?

If you don't have a WAN port, then you need a different router to use the standalone DSL modem. You could use the combo router without the modem.

Dude u cannot DSL TWICE.

So, DSLmodem ---> (WHAT)Router, and WHAT cannot be DSL.

If you are lucky this DSL router allows you to ignore the WAN port, make WHAT one of the LAN ports see what happens. No guarantee this will work.

Oh and I assume the DSLmodem is doing NAT. How do u know is doing NAT? you are getting a private RFC1918 IP here. If it doesn't do NAT, then ya, u need a completely different router box.
