From my limited knowledge of DSL, I believe your assumption is correct.
Most of the DSL modems I've seen have a router (either wired or wireless)
built in to them. This does not stop you from getting a wireless router to
add to the setup, but it does require research to find out how to get the
new wireless router working properly. We would need the DSL modems' model
name/number to start researching.
Most likely the ISP (Verizon?) can replace the DSL modem/wired router combo
with one that has wireless built in, but they will probably charge you for
it and would much rather have you upgrade to FIOS.

I may or may not have jumped the gun with my reply. Many ISPs have switched
over to issueing a mandatory modem/router combo to their subscribers. My
assumption (yes, I know) is that Greywolfe is currently running through one
of them. My own ISP, Fronterinet, uses them, too. They also charge a
'rental fee' on them. Nice, huh?
If Greywolfe 's current setup is two separate units then the answer he seeks
has already been posted to the group by more than one member. If he has a
combo unit, life gets significantly more difficult and we've got some heavy
research to do.
Peace,
