    As I understand it, most consumer routers don't really stop NATing when you enable IPv6 because it's mostly for the LAN. They just use 6to4 or Teredo normally. If your ISP supports v6, and issues you a v6 address space, and your router supports IPv6, then you could find yourself without NAT...

    Generally, routers are mostly plug and play, particularly if you don't do anything special such as forward ports or host anything at home. So in your case, you'd want a solid PoE router and 2APs. Something like the below router: For AP's, probably 2 of these: Youtube tutorials will walk...
