If its just for your home, a standard Linksys or Netgear will do.

<div>
so linksys or netgear has devices that are just firewalls?

I have a motorola surf board model sb6580 and I was messing with the built in firewall, but I don't like how limited the options are. <br />
I haven't tried too many firewall, so I was wondering what's a really good firewall? I was assuming I would need a software firewall. I guess I could get a firewall device, but It's just for my home PC's and didn't want to spend a lot. However, if there is a firewall device that is reasonably priced, maybe that would be better, ( I assume a firewall device would be faster than a software firewall ) <br />
So, any suggestions?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
