You can set the WiFi DSL modem router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). This 
setup enables the WiFi DSL modem router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater 
connects to another wireless WiFi DSL modem router as a client where the network to which 
it connects becomes the ISP service.

Wireless repeating is a type of wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless 
network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to 
link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.
