> My brain's a bit fuzzier than usual this morning, but am I right in thinking I could buy a cheaper wireless modem and configure it solely as an access point, i.e. leaving the modem component unconfigured?
Yes. Get an el-cheapo wireless router. Ignore the ADSL port (it'll flash a light at you, but who cares?). Connect one of the ethernet sockets to your connection, and set the wifi up as you want it to be. This is how I run my wifi network - the router is connected to a dedicated network card on my server, which runs an aggressive set of firewall rules on that interface. I am ignoring most of its capability - it has become no more than a bridge.
