Depending on your budget why not look at a firewall appliance?

Right now my work has a Netopia 22447 NWG router installed for a DSL access. My boss keeps telling me to strengthen the security on the router. Well, the password was changed and wireless is turned off. There is not much more I can do, that I know of. 1. Would an additional Router added to the line between the Netopia and Network switches increase security without slowing down internet traffic? If it is a viable solution, which router should I get? 3. Make a Linux Box using Unbuntu and a Router between the Netopia and Network switches? Let me know what you all think, Tim Lider Sr. Data Recovery Specialist Advanced Data Solutions, LLC http://www.adv-data.com
