and back to a Gigabit switch.

Research and get a high quality Wifi router to max out physical and spatical channels available for the devices that will need WiFi (phones, tablets, TVs, laptops if you are moving around).

If you can put your ISP device in a bridged mode and let your router handle NAT and everything do that, otherwise use the provider modem for NAT and use the WiFi device as just an access point.

If your house is big enough that the one WiFi device is not providing coverage everywhere you need it, set up a second Access point off of a wired Cat5E to fill in.
