        Plz how can I connect a Netgear N600 dual band router Model
        WNDR3400 to an exciting working wireless adsl modem router,or can
        I plug into it the isp asdsl cable directly?

     So, a modem+router, not a modem. Does it have a maker and model
  number, or are these secrets? How difficult are you trying to make
  this?

     Why? Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?
  
     The WNDR3400 is a router, not a modem+router, so, no, you can't
  connect it directly to a DSL telephone line. (Does it have a telephone
  cable connector like the one on your (unspecified) modem+router?)
  
     It might be possible to configure your (unspecified) modem+router as
  a modem-only, which you could use with the WNDR3400 as a router, but
  with no real information about your (unspecified) modem+router, or how
  it's configured, it's not certain.
  
     It should also be possible to use the WNDR3400 as a wireless access
  point with your (unspecified) modem+router. One set of instructions on
  how to do this should be here:

  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 a WNDR3400. Note that in this mode, you do not use the
  WAN/Internet port on the WNDR3400.
  
     Knowing nothing about what you want to do makes it hard to offer
  specific advice.

  This tells us that the modem is really a modem/router.
  
  WAN = Wide area network and has nowt to do with wifi. If you mean it has a WAN socket, that is another sign that this is a modem/router.

  You can't replace a modem/router with a router. You still need a modem of some sort.
  
  What you can do is to disable the router not of the modem and feed the Internet from that to the router.
  
  The manual for your modem/router should explain how to do this.
