The first question you need to answer for yourself is do you need a router, or will the ISP supplied router work for what you want to do.
There have been a few other suggestions for a set up that includes a router. I have ATT, and use their modem/router/phone/AP device. I just turn off the wireless. One port on the ATT router gets connected to a Ubiquiti Networks Networks UniFi Switch 8-Port 150 Watts (about $200) The other ports on the POE switch then get connected to Ubiquiti Networks Unifi 802.11ac Dual-Radio PRO Access Point (UAP-AC-PRO-US) (about $140) You can get as many APs as you need, I have a wide single story ranch style home and have probably overdone the install using 3 of the APs on the main floor. I have a couple older APs, one is in an open unfinished basement, and I may put one in the garage just to be sure my Rachio sprinkler controller and WeMo light switches and plugs in the far corner have a bit better signal. Yes, definitely over kill. But no dead spots anywhere.
