So as long as the access point is on the same IP range it should work? Shouldnt it?
Modem doesn't have an 'internal' IP range, it is a transparent bridge, IE has no IP just a MAC address. If you want to connect more that one device to it at the same time you need to use a router or another device that NATs.

Google for more assistance or use the excellent search feature on this site or check the knowledge base.

EDIT: What you have with BT is probably an X-Modem or similar, which is actually a router. If you had a PCI or USB modem would work the same way.
