       What is your "my dsl modem"?

       I doubt it.  Netgear Cxxxx models typically lack an Ethernet
    WAN/Internet port.  Without that, how would you connect an external
    modem?

     

       You should be able to use a C7200v2, not as a router, but as a
    wireless access point, which might be useful if your (unspecified) "my
    dsl modem" were actually a DSL modem+router.  For example:

       That's written for a C6300, but the steps are about the same for any
    other router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP option,
    including yours.  But a wireless access point is not a router.
