Can I use my netgear router as just a modem, using another router for wireless?

[Paulsif]

Hello im in the process of leaving sky bb and thinking of going with bt, the reason being i brought a D-Link DIR 825 router but sky will only let me use their own router. So basiclly i've got a nice shiny D-Link router that i wont be able to use without a DSL modem.

I have my Sagem sky router and also a Netgear DG834PN router that I could use as a modem if possible? if this could be done I would be very grateful if someone could help me.

Many thanks.

The Netgear DG834PN looks like it has autosensing/autouplink, so I would have thought you can just plug the D-Link in to any port using a standard network cable. Worth giving it a try

do you think the two router would conflict with each other, would i have to turn off DCHP? (i think i got that the right way round)!
