I'd appreciate some advice for a friend of mine who's on ntl. (I'm a former ntl customer, long since migrated to DSL when I moved house).

She wants to use a wireless access point, (a D-Link DWL-700AP). I'm trying to find out if her ntl:250 modem has any kind of routing function built in on the PC side, or does she need a separate router? I can't find any technical info on the 250 on ntl's website.

I'm reasonably certain that the modem simply presents the public IP address on the PC side like my one used to (Motorola Surfboard 4100)
but just wanted to check in case things have changed.

TIA

Jay
