Well, I'm looking for a firewall.

Requirements:

1) Cheap
2) Hardware

All (and I mean all) I want to do with the firewall is stop my cable modem from constantly broadcasting useless signals to my Airport Base Station. Why bathe my 'nads in more RF than necessary, right?

I can do this by putting the base station inside my *real* firewall of course, but this is unwise from a security standpoint.

Maybe there is something else that can serve this purpose?

Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
