Why not just get a software based firewall??!?!?!
Sits on the PC protecting you.
One program you'll ever need

Ifs its a single computer then a free firewall software job would do. I wouldn't bother with a router 
Free isn't always the bet option! For example would you have a free drink that someone has left on the table or would you buy the drink from the bar, I would choose the latter. I can guess what one you would choose

Forgot to say I would consider the Instant Broadband EtherFast®Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN EndPoint
It has superior security features and isn't that more expensive
