I stand corrected!!! I got it to work. I choose "Other" and then went to the page and selected the Must use Ethernet WAN as you had previously instructed. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! :)

Hey antinode, I don't know why you have to act like such a jerk. This was my first time posting a question and you ruined the entire experience for me. I hope someday you are faced with an experience where you reach out to others because you don't know what to do and someone treats you the same way you treated me and tell me to read the f*cking manual. Really nice job and a class act.
DSL and Cable modems are different. I think you misread my question. I'm trying to repurpose my DSL modem as a wireless router connected to a new cable modem so I dont have to go buy another router.
But I'd rather spend the money than have to deal with an idiot clown like you feeling better by being mean to people you don't even know.

I hope that I never live to see the day when I fail to try to find an
answer for myself in easily available product documentation before
asking for free help from some volunteer. In which universe is it the
considerate thing to do _not_ to read the manual, but to ask for some
volunteer to read it to you?

I think that you're wrong.

That's how I read it. And that's why I recommended that particular
section of the D7000v2 User Manual. Did you bother to read it? Was
there some part of it which was unclear?

Please don't let me stop you.
