Hardware firewalls that can be placed behind AT&T BGW210-700 DSL modem
What kind of hardware firewalls can be placed behind an AT&T BGW210-700 DSL modem?
What type of firewall are you looking at? Or do you not have any recommendations?
For a cost effective route, the Netgate pfSense is a good item. I build my firewalls with something like a Protecli device or a VM if you have one available somewhere with a loaded pfSense on it. Its free and generally easy to use.

I already have a SonicWALL TZ600 firewall. Is this firewall fully compatible?

I think the Sonic Wall has VPN capability and needs the Modem in Bridged Mode. That is in any event the best way to go for modems.

I have had my DSL provider and Cable provide set up modems in Bridged Mode and then used Cisco RVxx and Juniper routers behind them.
