Plusnet 582N Modem and Apple Airport Extreme AC ?

Hi, I have had terrible connectivity/wifi dropping with the supplied Plusnet 582N modem (used with standard ADSL copper based broadband). I have been considering the Apple Airport Extreme as I am an Apple fan  Cheesy and have heard very good things about this. Clearly this does not have a modem, so does anyone know what configuration is needed to allow this device to just work as a modem with the Airport managing wifi access, etc
I hear we may get fibre in Dec/Jan so would be also good to understand if I can continue to use this then.
Any help/guidance would be great before I take the plunge and buy one.
Many thanks.

this is plugged into the 582 and the wireless is switched off in the 582.
