3rd party linksys router

So I posted the other day about wanting to use a 3rd party router. 
I’ve managed to get my modem (DM200 net gear) to work with now broadband. With section 60 and 61 completed and adjusting the modem to modem only mode. If I connect my modem directly to a pc it works! Internet is established (when in modem and router mode anyway). 

now is the hard part and I’m stumped - I want to use my linksys router for wireless and I cannot find the correct settings whatsoever. It appears that the PPPoE is not the correct one and the other options are not familiar to me. 

anyone be able to offer some advice for me? Any help appreciated!

OK, scrub that, it seems that your Linksys has a built-in modem, which means you should be able to connect to the broadband socket without an intermediary device? Either that, or the nomenclature is seriously confusing me at this time of day/night.

I posted a link to the user manual earlier. (at least I think it's the correct model)

Definitely no modem.

Yeah it’s router only! Strange one. I’ll try and get some screenshots later if that helps.
