no matter what ISP, the 624 model will not work with usb modems.

If staying with Netgear, you need to get the 834 model with built in adsl modem, and ditch the usb.

Alternatively you could keep the 624 and buy an ethernet modem, dlink do one, but personally I would just get the 834.

not quite sure where the access point comes in, sorry?

all you need is the router/modem (834) and the two wireless nic's. The 834 does everything else.
