I strongly recommend firehol if the OP is looking to use a generic Linux
system to build a firewall and router from. OTOH, I understood from his
comments that what he really wanted was to replace one appliance with
another, even if it was Linux underneath.[1]

Footnotes:
[1] Actually, given the way many modem/router appliances are built
these days it may well be Linux underneath in both cases, but the
"on desktop hardware" version is likely to be less resource
constrained.
