Cable Forum - View Single Post - New to NTL

Hi.

I am experienced in IT and networking but am about to rent a house which has NTL broadband which I have no experience of.

I want to add wireless capability and would like to buy whatever kit I need before I move up there on Monday.

I haven't seen the current modem - is there a standard modem supplied by NTL and if so does it have USB connection to the PC or ethernet or will it have both?

If it is ethernet I have no problem adding a standard wireless router to the mix. If it is USB and I have to replace it then can I buy any model marked as 'wireless cable modem/router' or are there NTL-specific models?

I am assuming I have to use a 'cable' variant rather than any old wireless modem/router?
