Cable modem to Wireless modem

Hi.
I am using a ADSL2+cable router and would like to use a wireless router
that I have laying around,
Is this possible by connecting the wireless router direct to my providers
phone line or would I have to some how attach the wireless router to my
providers cable router Thank you

Your question isn't clear.

If you currently have a non-wireless combo modem/router (either cable or
DSL) and want to use a wireless router, many home wireless routers can
be configured as a wireless access point only. This will give you
wireless access as well as (in many cases) 3 more wired LAN jacks. See
http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Or, if the wireless router you have laying about happens to *also*
incorporate a modem (cable or DSL, as needed by your particular setup),
then you can simply replace the current device and connect the wireless
device directly to the cable or phone line. You may have to know some
configuration details from your ISP.

hopefully your wireless router will let you turn off DHCP and NAT to
turn it into an access point. then after you do that, you can plug
it into a LAN port on your ADSL router.
