An RV042? If so that is just a router – not a firewall (although it looks like it has some sort of optional cloud based web filtering).
We’ve been extremely pleased with our Palo Alto units. They aren’t cheap, but they are light-years ahead of anything else out there in terms of their protection. And the best part is that Palo Altos have several Ethernet ports that can be configured to provide protection for different applications. You can use ports in layer 3 mode (as a router/NAT device), or you can use them as a layer 2 device where they are transparent.

And either way, what would you recommend keeping in mind the client only has a total aggregate bandwidth of 75 megs any thoughts , feedback recommendations are greatly appreciated TIA JP
