The cable provider indicates WiFi capability is available for an additional $5/month, which seems high to me.  What issues do I have by simply adding (or substituting?) my own WiFi-capable modem?

Get seperate devices for wifi and cable modem. Consumer grade wifi devices are garbage, and fail frequently. Having them separate makes it easier to replace them, or upgrade rhem.
