I'd approach each requirement separately. For VOIP: To use existing phones get a PAP2T for $30. Check with your VOIP provider it is compatible - can be a bastard to get going with UDP/STUN/etc. I've disconnected our VOIP service because with all these unlimited mobile plans now it doesn't make sense to have a phone that just rings with SPAM anyway.
For wireless: Cisco 1252AG-N-K9 is unbelievable value second hand. Heaps end up on ebay regularly as people upgrade their networks to 802.11AC (which it does not support - don't let that worry you as it is faster than the NBN and certainly faster than your DSL 2 line). We use 60 of them at TechEd *cough* Ignite and always get very good feedback. You need to get one with 2.4GHz and 5GHz dipoles and either a PowerCube4 PoE injector (this is NOT standard PoE) or power supply and ensure it has autonomous firmware on it (otherwise it needs a wireless LAN controller $$$). ~$100-200 depending on what it comes with. For ADSL2+ Cisco 877-M-K9. That'll do your routing, NAT, port mappings etc. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cisco-877-M-K9-Annex-M-Router-Power-pack-Lead-Console-cable-/161858837540?hash=item25af89dc24:g:ODcAAOSwEetV98By That one has a BIN of $140. With the AP and router above,* these are not resigrade devices and you won't be able to 'follow your nose' to configure them*. The web ui on the 1252 is appalling and there is no web ui on the 877. You'll be in the world of serial cables for factory reset, TFTP servers for firmware updates, etc. There are heaps of templates out there for the 877 with every ISP on whirlpool. I can give you an autonomous config for a 1252AGN easily enough. HTH David.
