Right off the bat I would like to state that I have a very basic understanding of computer networks.

The previous internet setup that I had was - RJ11 cable from the ISP box connected to a D-LINK DSL-2520U modem that was connected to a TP-LINK TL-WR841N Wi-Fi router via RJ45.

The current internet setup I have is - optic fibre cable from the ISP box connected to a Dragonpath 707GR1. This device also provides a RJ11 output to which a telephone is connected.

Since the move to optic fibre the old setup is lying around collecting dust. Hence I would like to know if it is possible to setup the D-LINK ADSL modem through the Dragonpath fibre device via the provided RJ11 connection that the telephone uses currently?

I am very well aware that it is possible to connect the TP-LINK wi-fi device to the Dragonpath fibre modem via RJ45. However, the intention here is to make use of the old D-LINK ADSL modem too if possible.

The answer to question is No.

You can't connect the D-LINK ADSL modem to the RJ11 and expect anything to happen on the on the D-LINK device. The ISP doesn't provide an internet signal through that connection.

But to address you're real concern: "the old setup is lying around collecting dust". It doesn't need to be collecting dust, you can simply dispose of it... That device is an ADSL modem needed for your old copper internet connection, which you don't have anymore. So neither can it do anything useful for you, nor do you need it for anything useful. Everything is working fine without it.
