As per your feedback: How about sending the make and model number of the modem to me in a new question so I can look into it further. I have been doing this over 25 years now, and have never run into such a complication to something that should be simple.

As per your previous feedback: Pull the "phone" cord and see if the power light goes out. There are only so man ways to get power to the thing and there were some really inexpensive ones that were powered my the phone line. There are only so many wires plugged into the modem, so remove each until the power light goes out, then connect your router.

Hi there,
It is uncommon for the DSL modem not to have a switch. Have you looked in the manual to see if there are instructions for power-cycling the modem?
Please just pull the power cord and wait a bit for the lights to go out. All of the lights may not go off if the modem uses power from the phone line to power certain lights. The power or "on" light would be the only one to worry about.
I hope you enjoy your new netgear router.
