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.

Yes you right, she would be better with a wireless router than an acess point.

The modem simply requests an ip via dhcp and pass's this to the pc.
