Hi, so there are many many firewalls that will do what you want to do.
First, your airport is probably suitable for what you want to do for a long
time. The airport can handle that size connection with out breaking a sweat.
(Assuming we mean AirPort Extreme AC here). This router can go easily up to
about 200. Megabits in both directions so should be fine. Because you have NAT
enabled you’re pretty isolated from the network. You don’t have the advanced
anti malware features but you’re not bad off.
Next, if you want to go with a dedicated hardware option, you can go
with something like a small Sonicwall, small Netgear firewall or even a small
Juniper SRX like a Juniper SRX 110. Juniper and Sonicwall both have the
antivirus anti malware options but they are yearly subscriptions.
For combination routers, the Netgear stuff is pretty good and includes
a VPN option. The TPLink stuff is pretty good as is the higher end DLink.
Sonicwall makes a combination firewall and access point so you can have your
WiFi in the same package.
Hope that helps.
