You may be able to run your old router in bridge mode, it will act like a modem.
It depends what your old router is

If you've received the router within the last 14 days you can send it back, get a DGN3500 (gigabit) / DGN3300 (dual band wireless) instead.

you can use the old routers modem either:
1. if the old router supports acting as a bridge use that.
2. add the new routers ip to the DMZ on the old router.

demilitarized zone, if no port forwards are set on the old router everything will be forwarded to the ip set in DMZ.
