Using a router/modem as a router?????

[jamier1985uk]

Hi, ive got a wirless router/asdl modem, it has four LAN ports (RJ45) and a ADSL port (RJ11). My problem is that i want to use it as a wireless router only, on a normal wireless router (without the modem) it has four LAN ports (RJ45) and a internet port (also RJ45), which would be fine as i could take the output from the original modem and put it into the router. Although i cant do this on mine as it is also a modem and requires a RJ11 input. Can i do this with my router/modem or will i have to buy a wireless router on its own?

I have to keep the original modem in place for reasons which are not important and that is why i cannot jus replace the modem with the router/modem.

Any help would be much appriciated,
Thanks,
James

not to be an ass but you solved that problem you cant connect the ethernet from the wired router to the wireless router/modem
