I'm no expert, but I have a desktop 
with a broadband connection to the Internet
(thank you, Sir Anthony),
and have a second independent WiFi network
(and a third ethernet network).

I just have a PCI WiFi card in my desktop
(actually, a PCI-to-PCMCIA adaptor with PCMCIA card in it).
I'm not sure if an access point is worth it for a home system.
But they may be cheaper now?

As I said, I'm no expert, and there probably is a better setup.
But this one seems quite simple to me.
