RE: If you have 3 access points, what do you need a wi-fi router for?

I would have expected your ISP to provide a gateway with basic routing functionality i.e. NAT. Comcast, Charter, and Verizon do that around here. Then you would only need a switch.

I'm also surprised you need 4 access points. A single good WAP should cover your whole property.

When I last upgraded my networking about 6 years ago, I got two Ubiquiti UniFi 802.11ac WAPs. One is for a guest wifi network that is firewalled off from the rest of my network, the other is for all of our devices. Both of them cover the full house and yard.
