That's what I was thinking of. 
 
Either that, or just smoothwall -  either way, it'd offload the firewall portion of the tasks and let the router concentrate on what it's best at.
 
but it does mean that another machine needs to be there.

Can run on your own hardware, whatever specifications you require.

Cisco would be an excellent choice, though it can get quite pricy when
you want to run the IOS firewall feature set. Another option over the
804 would be the PIX 501 or 506e.

Another one I have used and liked is the SofaWare appliance:
