What region are you located?

Can you confirm the DSL model #? I don't see this model DSL modem listed anywhere...

Does it have a single LAN port or multiple LAN ports?

Ok, thank you.

Yes you should be able to connect the DWL right up to one of the open LAN Ports in back and set up the DWL in AP mode. Run thru the setup wizard on the DWL. Review the User Manual on how to install it.
