I'd go for a FVS336Gv3 and buy a dedicated AP. You can use the FVS318N kind of like an AP by doing the following;
*Factory default the FVS318N
*Change management IP since the default IP of the FVS318N is the same as the FVS336Gv3
*Turn off the FVS318N DHCP server
*Create a wireless SSID
*Plug the FVS318N in to the FVS336Gv3 using a LAN port (so LAN-LAN), do not plug anything in to the WAN port
This is assuming that you don't use multiple VLANs in which case you may need some additional configuration. But like I said a dedicated AP is probably a good idea anyways.
Attaching possible topology with the FVS318N:

Hello GaACETech,
dmacleo is correct, along with the auto-failover feature the FVS336Gv3 also comes with load balancing. Both WAN ports can be used as a primary or failover port. Please click here for complete details.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
